NetworkingPS and SolveDirect Announce Service Management Integration Partnership
Advanced IT Services plus Service Integration Platform in the Cloud Enable Multi-vendor Collaboration
SolveDirect Service Management, a provider of cloud-based solutions for smart IT Service Management Integration, has signed a partnership agreement with NetworkingPS. NPS is aprofessional services firm that specializes in planning, designing, assessing, implementing, and supporting systems, applications and networks in multi-vendor environments. NPS’ customers include the Federal Government, multiple state and city government clients, Pfizer, IBM, Lockheed Martin, Keane, and Siemens and SolveDirect’s customers include global service providers Cisco, Siemens, and IBM.
By bringing together the industry’s best minds and most experienced resources, NPS customers benefit from the interaction and shared experiences that occur during projects that look to the future. “We specialize in multi-vendor environments and understand the critical business issues of our customers when it comes to Service Management across the virtual enterprise and in a global environment. Outsourcing and sub-contracting to third-party providers make it possible to tap into much larger pools of dedicated expertise at economies of scale; however, connecting their different service management workflows in real-time with second, third, and fourth tier service providers for global service delivery monitoring and SLA compliance brings many new challenges.“ explains Martin Smith, CTO at NPS. ”Working together with SolveDirect we are able to offer our joint customers a 360’ service integration solution in the cloud. We deliver scalable, cost-effective, multi-vendor service via seamless automation and collaboration between many different service partners without requiring additional hardware or infrastructure. For small to mid-size partners, NPS offers a direct web interface via SolveDirect to log service incidents directly, eliminating the need for phone calls, faxes and e-mails. In a matter of weeks we can connect a new customer or strategic service provider with real-time service management anywhere in the world.”
