Posted on May 11, 2012. Filed under: Cloud, CRM, customer service, IT, PPI, SaaS, software | Tags: , , , , , , , , , |

Respond as a Service set-up and supporting customer service excellence in less than 24 hours

11 May 2012: Respond, the market leading customer complaints management platform from CDC Software, is now available as a service following demand from retailers, banks, travel companies and service provider businesses for a “next day” solution.

Operational in less than 24 hours, the Software as a Service deployment option of Respond provides the same functionality and business benefits as the time proven on-premise version. Over 800 customer-facing and often highly regulated businesses have relied on Respond for customer complaints management for over 20 years.

“Demand for Respond as a service is high from both existing and new customers. For existing clients it provides a quick an easy upgrade path to Respond Version 5, an essential tool for regulatory reporting, and quick-fire expansion of user numbers,” explained Mark Chambers, Head of Solution Consulting at CDC Software.

“For new customers, the ability to have a proven customer complaints management system set-up in less than 24 hours is compelling and business changing, especially as both consumers and regulators are demanding customer service excellence,” continued Mark Chambers.

Respond as a Service has been extensively tested and piloted over the last 12 months. Tests included independent security and penetration assessments and service delivery processes.

Feedback from Respond customers conclusively demonstrated administrative efficiency gains within days of the application going live. The most immediate being the ability to greatly reduce the time it takes to register, file and resolve a complaint. These processes are now instantly automated, centralised and linked to workflows that ensure the most effective route to resolution is achieved.

Longer term benefits include automated customer correspondence; scheduled daily or weekly management status reports; regulatory compliance reports; integration with other customer databases via open APIs and the ability to analyse the stored data to establish the root cause of complaints and service issues so these can be put right before creating widespread concerns.

“Under the pressure of business growth and regulatory changes, manual complaints management processes are no longer reliable or cost effective. Purchasing Respond as an on-demand application, rather than a capital investment means businesses can have a fully functioning complaints management system in hours, without impacting IT budgets and internal IT resources,” explained Mark Chambers of CDC Software.

Billing for Respond as a Service is flexible. This makes the on-demand application ideal for businesses faced with sudden or seasonal increases in customer complaints or enquiries. It also offers businesses the same tools as their larger competitors, without the time and cost commitment of purchasing and maintaining the supporting IT infrastructure.

Alternatively, businesses that are looking to manage temporary peaks in customer complaints, for example those managing huge volumes of PPI claims would be ideal candidates for Respond as a Service. Whilst many of these customers are facing pressure from the industry regulators to improve customer complaints management or face fines and potential product recalls, others have accepted that a cultural shift back to customer service excellence is needed if their businesses are to prosper and a review of processes is required.

“Respond as a Service offers businesses an alternative deployment option. It is set-up in less than 24 hours and requires minimal IT skills at the customer end. User training is included in the hosting agreement and there is a range of online tutorials and support guides to ensure maximum benefit is had from the application,” concluded Mark Chambers of CDC Software.

Respond as a Service is managed by CDC Software and hosted by an industry-leading hosting provider. Advanced monitoring systems guarantee service and each customer’s database is partitioned to ensure security.

NOTE TO EDITORS: Currently, Respond is offering a 15 month contract for the price of 12 months for customers looking to go live with Respond as a Service before 1 October 2012.

Posted on March 27, 2012. Filed under: ITMaaS, Technology | Tags: , , , , , , , , |

Nimsoft Delivers Effective, Rapidly Deployable Monitoring of VMware vCloud Environments

ITMaaS Solution Enables IT Organizations and Service Providers to More Efficiently Safeguard the Health of Private, Public and Hybrid Clouds

Campbell, Calif.—March 21, 2012—Nimsoft today announced Nimsoft Monitor for vCloud, an advanced solution for monitoring and optimizing the performance of VMware vCloud environments.

The highly dynamic nature of vCloud environments presents a substantial challenge to conventional IT monitoring tools, since resources are constantly being added, deleted and moved across both the on-premise data center and remote IaaS or PaaS clouds.

Nimsoft Monitor for vCloud meets this challenge by monitoring all of the physical and virtual systems and network resources that support any given application or service—regardless of their location. It provides the coverage, insights and automation administrators need to practically and efficiently monitor dynamic vCloud Director systems, along with their underlying cloud services and infrastructure.

At customizable intervals, Nimsoft Monitor for vCloud can also collect capacity and performance data from multiple vCloud Director instances—whether they are on-premise, running at a service provider or both.

“To safeguard the performance of critical applications running in vCloud environments, customers need unified, uninterrupted visibility into the entire infrastructure stack—regardless of what just moved where,” said Chris O’Malley, Nimsoft CEO. “Nimsoft Monitor automatically and cost-effectively provides this continuous visibility, so technical staffs can remain in control of even the most dynamic hybrid clouds.”

Nimsoft Monitor for vCloud provides:

Automated discovery, deployment, configuration, and data aggregation for resources managed by vCloud Director.

Powerful templates for creating policies that can be applied to specific resource groups.

Correlated monitoring of resources supporting specific applications and services―including virtual machines and virtual LANs.

Intuitive multi-tenant views of performance, availability, utilization, and other key monitoring data.

“To get all the benefits of vCloud without sacrificing service-level commitments, organizations need the kind of monitoring that Nimsoft is designed to provide,” said Rachel Chalmers, Research Director for The 451 Group. “Nimsoft also offers central monitoring and usage metering of multiple vCloud Directors—something VMware itself doesn’t provide―in order to make vCloud Director itself amenable to chargeback accounting.”

Nimsoft has been delivering innovative monitoring solutions for VMware environments since 2007. Nimsoft Monitor for vCloud builds on this expertise to give customers the capabilities they need to manage the end-to-end performance and availability of critical applications and services and their underlying physical and network infrastructure.

About Nimsoft

Nimsoft provides integrated, IT management as service solutions for businesses and service provider customers globally, including 1&1, CDW, SoftLayer, SunGard Availability Services, Sur La Table, TriNet, and Virgin America. The company’s Nimsoft Unified Manager is an industry-leading solution that helps organizations easily monitor and manage IT services in increasingly complex business environments.

The first Application Delivery Fabric for the ITaaS economy

Posted on November 23, 2011. Filed under: ADP, Application delivery, Application security, Data centre management, IT management, IT service, ITaaS, Technology | Tags: , , , , , , |

The next evolution of Radware’s VADI strategy provides ground-breaking cost savings, efficiency and agility for virtual and cloud data centres.

 Datacentre Solutions: Date: 23 Nov 2011

Radware has announced the next phase of its Virtual Application Delivery Infrastructure (VADI) strategy featuring new application delivery controller (ADC) platforms, enhanced data centre management and orchestration interoperability, complete support for leading hypervisors, and new AppShape technology to provide the industry’s first application delivery fabric.

Radware ADC Fabric breaks new ground in virtualised application delivery by leveraging the concept of a virtual ADC (vADC) resource pool across both single and multiple data centres. The ADC fabric transforms physical ADCs from “units” or devices into services, regardless of the underlying computing resources resulting in increased agility and simplified operations. This also overcomes the traditionally limited model of requiring two identical ADC appliances for redundancy, by supporting cross-ADC form factor redundant pairs, for unlimited scalability and high resiliency.

By implementing Radware ADC Fabric within virtual data centres and replacing traditional ADCs with vADC instances, IT managers can now assign a vADC instance per application, department or customer, essentially creating a fully virtualised application silo. This simplifies manageability and operations as one silo can be upgraded at a time without affecting other silos. Each silo can have full fault isolation with its own dedicated components (servers, storage, and vADCs) to guarantee application performance and SLAs. The result is improved application silo agility, mobility, and bursting within a single data centre or cross data centres.

A key component of Radware ADC Fabric is a new technology — Radware AppShape — that provides an application perspective for shaping the data centre infrastructure to specific application needs. AppShape dramatically accelerates the rollout of new business applications and services which can be integrated into the virtual data centre and cloud eco-systems.

When combined with new ADC platforms that deliver the industry’s highest ADC consolidation ratios (up to 480 virtual instances in a single appliance) and VADI services that simplify dynamic provisioning, decommissioning, scaling or migration of ADC instances, Radware elevates its VADI strategy to an unprecedented level in which businesses can meet the financial and technical needs imposed by today’s economic drivers. More and more, companies are seeking new ways to transform hardened information technology assets and capabilities into consolidated, flexible and adaptable services to reduce infrastructure and operational expenses while concurrently meeting shifting business demands in real-time at a fraction of the cost.

“Radware recognises not only the technological, but also the economic demands placed on enterprise and carrier data centres today,” said Avi Chesla, chief technology officer, Radware. “Through our VADI strategy, we now introduce a new application delivery abstraction layer technology which allows organisations to shape our application delivery tools to meet exactly their business needs, removing traditional complexities of ADC administration associated with networking, computing resources, high availability, security and more – letting companies to really focus only on their business’ application.

“This ADC abstraction layer allows easy control of the Radware ADC fabric and thus provides a turn-key application delivery solution for all sizes of companies as well as enterprise and carrier segments, to help them build out their infrastructures for virtualised or cloud computing scenarios in the most cost-efficient, flexible, and resilient way possible on the market today,” Chesla said.

Announcement Highlights

More on the New ADC Service — Radware AppShape: AppShape is designed to accelerate, simplify and optimise application deployment with a holistic view from the application perspective. Using AppShape capabilities, application deployment and testing times are reduced from by a factor of 10x-100x, cutting deployment costs up to 86%. AppShape offers:

· Specially designed templates for leading business applications (e.g., Microsoft, SAP, Oracle) help IT managers configure all required ADC options easily for faster application rollouts with fewer mistakes. Additionally, the templates can be shared across the data centre and reused when needed.

· Efficient application delivery operation through an application-centric view of specific application parameters for the on-going tuning of services, as well as auto-discovery capabilities that scan application resources to identify changes and synchronises them to the ADC with no human intervention.

· Simplified reports and management screens provide an application-centric view with full logging and visibility of application SLAs, performance, and rules/regulatory compliance.

New ADC Platform – Alteon 5224: The latest addition to the Alteon product line, this new platform is designed to help businesses begin their cloud journey without fear of overspending. An ideal solution for medium-size enterprises, the Alteon 5224 with Radware’s ADC-VX running on top, allows users to create an innovative, on-demand consolidation platform capable of supporting up to 24 vADC instances with throughput between 1 Gbps and 14 Gbps.
Alteon 10000 – High-End Platform for Service, Hosting, and Cloud Providers: Radware also announced that its ADC-VX consolidation platform now runs on top of its Alteon 10000 platform, making it the only ADC solution to meet the full spectrum of this market segment’s needs.

The Alteon 10000 now supports on demand up to a staggering 480 vADCs with up to 80 Gbps of throughput for a solution that can create up to 30 times more vADCs on a single device than other vendor solution, resulting in higher savings of hardware and operational expenses as well as faster ROI compared to any other consolidation solution in the industry.

By enabling IT managers to create a separate, fully isolated vADC instance — whether each application for enterprises or individual customer services delivered by cloud, carrier and hosting providers — the Alteon 10000 platform ensures high availability, SLA integrity, and performance with multi-tenant support.
Expanded Radware Alteon VA Support: Radware’s Alteon VA is a vADC deployed as a virtual appliance on general server virtualisation infrastructure (VI). In addition to VMware ESX/ESXi, it is now offered for industry-leading hypervisors including KVM, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Open Xen. It is the only softADC which can run on each of these hypervisors.

Enhanced vDirect Interoperability: vDirect plug-in and SDK enables fast and easy integration of the ADC fabric into virtual and cloud data centre management systems. The plug-in provides all the building blocks and management interfaces required for a data centre management and orchestration system to provision, decommission, configure and monitor vADCs and computing resources within a virtual data centre. vDirect now supports VMware’s vCloud Director in addition to VMware’s vCenter Orchestrator, simplifying the provisioning of virtual applications within vCloud environments to include virtual ADC resources.

Key Benefits
With today’s Radware ADC Fabric announcement, the Company provides the highest vADC density and ADC consolidation ratios available on the market to deliver the lowest cost per vADC for significant cost savings. Also, with AppShape technology as part of the ADC Fabric, customers will enjoy fast application rollout with unmatched business agility as well as maximum operational efficiency.

Lastly, customers will benefit from Radware’s pioneering on-demand ADC approach, now enhanced for the ADC Fabric, which provides industry-unique on-demand scalability for throughput, virtual ADC instances, and application delivery services combined with the ability to scale out of devices across the fabric or out of data centres for maximum agility and optimal investment protection.

Nimsoft CEO Chris O’Malley declares Transformation of IT from Infrastructure Owner into Service Broker

Posted on November 16, 2011. Filed under: IT management, Technology | Tags: , , , |

Special Role of IT Management-as-a-Service in Separating “Core vs. Chore” Highlighted in Panel Discussion Featuring ITMaaS Users and Providers

LAS VEGAS, November 14, 2011 – CA WORLD – In an address today at CA World 2011, Nimsoft CEO Chris O’Malley outlined the radical transformation of IT organizations from infrastructure owners to service brokers. O’Malley explained how this new model of IT is being driven by a “competitive vortex” where every company must master disruptive business models, intense stresses on organizational resources and relentlessly escalating customer expectations in order to thrive.

In response, O’Malley said, IT organizations must transform themselves into highly agile and efficient service brokers continuously optimizing their resourcing of both “chore” IT tasks such as infrastructure management and “core” imperatives such as customer experience and business model innovation.

He also noted that the virtualization of IT infrastructure is leading to the virtualization of human capital, as enterprises more adaptively tap into the expertise and skills available via the cloud.

“For IT to truly move at the speed of business, you have to let service providers do what they do best and you have to be able to orchestrate collaboration between your service providers and your internal service owners in real time,” said O’Malley. “Essentially, IT has to transform itself from an operations-driven organization that maintains custody of infrastructure components to a value-driven organization that intelligently brokers services.”

O’Malley observed that IT Management-as-a-Service is playing a central role in empowering IT organizations to make this critical transition. “IT organizations and their service provider partners need highly adaptive management tools that they can quickly apply to whatever services they deploy, at whatever scale they deploy them, wherever they happen to be in the cloud,” he explained. “That’s exactly what ITMaaS does.”

He added that Nimsoft IT monitoring, IT service desk and cloud user experience products have been specifically designed to provide these essential capabilities to the broadening range of customers and service providers in the new cloud service delivery ecosystem. “Nimsoft uniquely delivers the information and collaboration tools that service providers and their customers need to make the new ‘service broker’ model for IT a reality,” he said.

To illustrate how this model is already being adopted, O’Malley led a panel following his address that included:

· Andrew Rowlands, CIO at PreserveSoft Preservation Software, which provides SaaS solutions for home preservation contractors.

· Tom Beckman, CTO at IT Authorities, Inc., a managed service provider (MSP) that hosts the PreserveSoft solution.

· Jeffrey Garbus, CEO at Soaring Eagle Consulting, an ITMaaS provider specializing in database performance.

Panelists discussed the current collaboration between PreserveSoft, Nimsoft, IT Authorities and Soaring Eagle and described how that collaboration has enabled PreserveSoft to rapidly and cost-efficiently scale up its operations to meet the needs of home contractors with highly reliable, anytime/anywhere support services.

“The model we have embraced for sourcing ‘chore’ IT deliverables from multiple service providers is agile, economical and highly reliable,” said Rowlands. “We are living proof that there are plenty of good reasons to both be a cloud company and engage multiple cloud partners.”

“As a managed service provider focused on hosted infrastructure-as-a-service, the Nimsoft ITMaaS solution enables us to keep a close eye on our customers’ environments while keeping our own management software costs continually aligned with our present needs,” said Beckman. “Nimsoft also lets us give our customers full visibility into their critical environments, and allows us to seamlessly integrate specialist solution providers such as Soaring Eagle into our existing IT management processes.”

“As more and more companies move their database servers from data centers to the cloud, it is essential for us to collaborate with the MSPs who are servicing our target customers,” said Garbus. “By forwarding us the appropriate alerts from Nimsoft, IT Authorities can instantly engage us when a customer like PreserveSoft shows even the slightest indication of a problem that may impact service levels to the end-user—so we can quickly intervene to fix the problem and protect the business from SLA breach or downtime.”
