LogicaCMG Strengthens Relationship with Wily Technology in the UK Performance Management Market
SURREY, U.K., May 16, 2006 — CA’s Wily Technology Division, the Enterprise Application Management specialist, has extended its relationship with LogicaCMG, a major international force in IT services and wireless telecoms. As a Wily Platinum Business Partner, LogicaCMG is able to combine Wily’s unique web application management technology with its own industry knowledge and delivery experience for the UK performance management market, to provide customers with support throughout the entire lifecycle of projects. This means that customers will see a reduction in application downtime and will have the ability to proactively manage and monitor business-critical web applications.
Web Application Management: A Growing Need for Business
“A growing number of critical web applications are today developed around Java / J2EE platforms. These applications are key components of business information systems. Our clients have to guarantee service levels and availability, which means they need dedicated IT to monitor and manage these applications,’’ comments John Castle, LogicaCMG’s UK Practice Manager for Infrastructure & Integration, which hosts the majority of LogicaCMG’s performance specialists.
This new environment means businesses must be able to:
- Reduce key applications down time
- Monitor pro-actively using a system of alerts
- Obtain a speedy diagnosis to solve problems when business applications performance is threatened
- Optimise management of SLAs
- Maximise productivity and minimise risk of crisis situations, but significantly improve triage capability if called upon
To address these needs and ensure companies have more reliable, secure and quick systems, LogicaCMG will use Wily’s Enterprise Application Management technology whilst utilising its own industry expertise and experience. As a Wily Platinum Business Partner, LogicaCMG works actively to generate new business opportunities and since the beginning of the partnership, LogicaCMG has developed a deep understanding of Wily solutions and LogicaCMG teams receive training on a regular and ongoing basis.
LogicaCMG will work with customers throughout the entire project lifecycle, identifying new projects, marketing and client education, through sales to implementation. In particular, LogicaCMG will open market opportunities through its strong regional presence and in-depth knowledge of key UK and EMEA markets. Since the beginning of their EMEA collaboration at the end of 2004, Wily and LogicaCMG have planned and delivered projects for the French credit company Finaref and within the UK public sector.
The Next Steps in the Partnership
“We are delighted with the results of this partnership to date which reinforces Wily’s position as a key player in application performance management in the UK market. This is a dynamic partnership in which each party benefits from the expertise of the other,’’ comments Pierre Baudin, Marketing and Alliances Director, EMEA for CA’s Wily Technology Division.
One of the specific aims of the partnership is to target businesses with the largest infrastructure and integration issues, ranging from telecommunications to media and public sector. Increasingly business-critical applications are deployed on the J2EE infrastructure and associated environment and the added complexity this causes in capacity management and problem triage demands a strategic solution.
“Wily and LogicaCMG offer a blended delivery capability to clients, enabling them to use LogicaCMG’s robust project delivery experience and Wily’s specialist professional services to integrate the Wily toolset into the production environment and release the operational benefits of improved availability and performance of critical production applications”, says Mark Aitman, managing consultant, LogicaCMG.
