East Greenbush, NY (PRWEB) September 12, 2011

In response to strong local market demand, Autotask Corporation, the worlds leading provider of hosted IT business management software, today announced that it will launch the first, fully-translated version of its software in German later this year. The company also announced that it has entered a distribution agreement with acmeo cloud-distribution GmbH & Co. KG, a leading distributor of software-as-a-service (SaaS), cloud-based solutions for IT service providers, to sell, service and support Autotask software in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Germany is the fourth largest economy in the world and one of the strongest markets for technology products and services in Europe. We are delighted to be able to localize Autotask to better serve our existing customers here and to partner with acmeo to grow and support the IT channel in Germany, said Mark Cattini, Autotask president and CEO.

Autotask, which has active users in 53 countries around the world, cited a Forrester Research, Inc., report projecting Germany as the largest market in Europe for IT consulting services at an estimated 16B in 2011, and the second largest for IT outsourcing services valued at an additional 12B.1

Autotask software is specifically designed to automate and optimize business processes for IT service providers by integrating critical business systems in a single, cloud-based application and providing real-time reporting and service delivery intelligence. Users typically experience significant, measurable improvements in resource utilization, profitability and ROI within the first month after implementation.

We are very happy that we have discovered Autotask. It is the perfect solution for optimising and expanding our business, said Maximilian Pfister, General Manager of niteflite networxx, GmbH, in Feldafing, Germany. It helped us a lot, keeping track of the time spent solving customers issues. In just one month we raised the amount of billable time by more than 20%. Autotask also brings more transparency for our clients because they can see in real-time what is happening with their service requests.

acmeo cloud-distribution specializes in helping IT solutions providers create and deploy cloud-based managed services to support their end clients businesses, including remote monitoring and management of servers and desktops, online backup and disaster recovery, antivirus protection, email programs and other services. Unlike traditional services which are billed as delivered on an hourly basis, or by project type or size, managed services are typically billed at a flat monthly rate. This provides a predictable, recurring revenue stream for service providers, and a lower overall cost for end clients and their businesses.

Autotask is a perfect complement to acmeos current product offerings because it provides a central business management platform for our customers and integrates easily with the cloud-based systems and tools they use to service their clients, said Henning Meyer, managing director and CEO of acmeo. Registrations for our first educational webinar in Germany with Autotask attracted more than 100 IT service providers, and there is a tremendous need for a German language version of Autotask available with local support.

In Hanover for acmeos Autotask user meeting, Mark Banfield, Autotask Managing Director International, said, Working with acmeo to ramp up and support their operations has been very rewarding. Everyone in the acmeo organization is committed to ensuring our customers success, and the success of the IT channel in Germany, and we confident that our relationship will help them do just that.

Rise Helps MSPs Gain Advantage with Guidance, Services to Meet 2012 Business Trends

MIAMI FL (PRWEB) February 02, 2012

From ITEXPO/ MSPAlliance MSPWorld, Rise, a premier provider of cloud computing and hosted IT services, announced their cloud services are helping managed service providers gain a competitive advantage by addressing the top business concerns regarding moving to the cloud. New research from the Cloud Industry Forum (CIF) recently announced by Andy Burton, CEO of Rise and chairman of the CIF confirms that confidence in the reliability of vendors is key to overcoming ITs top concerns regarding cloud-based services. Rises certification and significant track record of success help MSPs gain credibility with first-time purchasers.

According to the survey of 400 end-users from Enterprise and small and medium size IT organizations, security and privacy of data in the cloud top the list of concerns for both private and public sectors, followed by confidence in vendors, Internet access, cost of migration and contractual lock-in. Despite this, an astounding 98 per cent of those already using cloud-based services are satisfied with existing hosted services and cloud deployments, and more than 94 per cent plan to expand their investments in 2012.

With the rapid growth in the US cloud market, its proven ground that once the initial adoption of a cloud service is achieved, the trend is to further extend hosted services to other core areas of the business, said Burton. In order to reduce barriers around that initial experience and commence rich partner relationships, MSPs must address their customers concerns head-on. By choosing a reputable, certified and reliable cloud platform, MSPs and cloud service providers can provide their customers with the assurance they need to cost-effectively expand to the cloud and gain business advantage.

The CIFs 2012 Cloud Predictions whitepaper will be made available for download on the Rise website http://www.rise.co following publication in mid-February. To learn more about CIF, visit http://www.cloudindustryforum.org/.

The research conducted by CIF in January of 2012 shows that while organization size will no longer be a determinant of rate of adoption, the mid market will seek a disproportionate level of assistance with on-boarding data and other professional services. Implementation and managed services will be a key point of differentiation among successful suppliers.

Rise equips its channel partners with certified and award-winning infrastructure they need to provide cloud services to their customers. This includes virtual and dedicated servers, storage, backup, web hosting and disaster recovery. Rise host these services from the secure infrastructure of Rise’s D ataCenter on Demand and provide 24/7/365 support.

In honor of its commitment to delivering products and services for outstanding adoption and application of innovation, Rise was named by Microsoft as the 2011 Global Hosting Partner of the Year.

We believe that every organization will have at least a part of their IT services provided in the cloud. Their ability to manage this increasingly distributed IT estate is critical to moving forward. Certified Service Providers that make information available to their partners and vendors to enable IT governance and provide confidence to customers will see increased levels of trust and adoption, Burton concludes.

ProviDyn Doubles Data Center Capacity to Meet High Demand for Private Cloud Services

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 25, 2012

ProviDyn, a provider of IT support, strategy and managed services, announces it has doubled its data center footprint with additional rack space to meet the growing demand for private cloud services. This expansion mirrors the increase in the adoption of cloud services by small and medium-sized (SMB) businesses looking to benefit from IT services typically out of budget for smaller companies — at a lower cost and with greater efficiency.

ProviDyn’s private cloud is hosted in a tier 4 SSAE 16 Type II (formerly SAS 70) audited data center which features: fully redundant power through a dedicated grid, 36 generators and 16 independent UPS systems, fully monitored cooling systems, internal environmental protections against fire and water damage, 24×7 monitoring and support, advanced biometric physical access controls and a hardened facility rated against external environmental threats. ProviDyn customizes its private cloud solution for each client based on factors such as industry, growth rate and the need for scalability. Unlike many service providers, ProviDyns cloud is proprietary and dedicated, allowing its clients more control over data, security and compliance.

The expansion of our data center footprint is indicative of how SMBs are beginning to warm up to private cloud services as a smart way to manage technology, said Hamish Davidson, president and co-founder of ProviDyn. The cloud makes sense for most businesses that truly dont need to operate and manage their own IT systems. The flexibility, option to scale as you go, pay only for what you need and many other benefits make the private cloud a great option for most SMBs.

Remote Access – Access to files, applications and data from anywhere, anytime.

Carlsbad, Calif. (PRWEB) September 18, 2012

Organisations can now suppport information sharing and meet security and compliance requirements, by easily monitoring critical and sensitive data access and manipulation

(PRWEB UK) 26 October 2012

8MAN Logga, a new 8MAN feature, tracks unauthorised access to sensitive and critical information and provides automatic reporting, complete with documented audit trails and timely alerts. The file server monitor feature registers and saves all requests and actions on selected file server directories. 8MAN Logga records which data was accessed by whom and what actions were performed. If a selected file server directory was accessed, 8MAN Logga can determine who accessed it, when they accessed it and also which data was read, edited or changed in any way.

All and any file, folder and directory access requests can be recorded. However, a significant amount of valuable storage space can easily be consumed if the system is not making intelligent selections of which information assets to track and record. With 8MAN Logga, organisations can select only those files, folders and directories that need to be monitored for compliance and security purposes.

Company data can broadly be divided into three categories: critical, sensitive and general information. Around 80% of the data a company holds on its servers is not business critical or sensitive in nature.

By integrating the 8MAN Logga feature with our 8MAN Data Owner concept, we can focus on tracking only client sensitive or mission critical information saving the organisation time, resources and storage space, said Steven Bennett, EMEA Head of Channel, protected-networks.

Changes in business operations and processes are inevitable – triggered by growth, new technologies and/or external factors. These changes have direct implications on the administration rights within an organisation. With 8MAN Logga organisations can document whether the current administration rights are appropriate for the changing strategy and operations. Employees can then be provided with the information access they need to meet their business goals and objectives.

About protected-networks: Founded in 2009, protected-networks GmbH is a Berlin-based company that develops integrated solutions for access rights management of server environments across all business sectors and at public authorities. The solution, 8MAN is an Information Trust Software based on an innovative approach to integrated data security management and offers uniform and automated management of user rights. Clients thereby save cost and time while increasing protection against unauthorised internal access.
