JOHANNESBURG- Managed ICT services company, AppCentrix, has announced a partnership with business value IT consultants, AgileIT.
AppCentrix offers managed services that provide a real-time, single view of an entire IT estate. AgileIT is an IT services consultancy that delivers agility into technology. The partnership aims to extract further business value for customers following the AppCentrix SmartICT maturity model, where companies realise greater IT infrastructure stability, increased performance and accelerated volumes and revenues.
SmartICT appeals to CIOs who wish to ensure alignment between business and IT strategy, realise innovation and improvements and gain competitive advantage through data analytics and intelligent monitoring, whilst continuing to reduce costs and realise efficiencies. The service already boasts more than 6,000 sites across 45 datacentres and currently gathers more than half a billion metrics a day for analysis and management insight.
“We have an unquestionable commitment to working together with our clients to generate true value for money, and avoid their expense of additional capital outlay, and unnecessary recurring licensing costs when actually seeking to improve and protect revenues,” says CEO of AppCentrix, Graeme Allcock. “The partnership with AgileIT is an extension of our commitment to extracting real business value for our customers from our maturity model and approach.”
AgileIT was founded by Nick Truran, former head of IT Operations for Liberty, a financial services organisation with operations in 24 countries across Africa.
“AppCentrix SmartICT helped us eliminate spend on disparate tools scattered across the organization at Liberty, reduced our downtime and improved our meantime to repair. It made sense as AgileIT focuses on delivering agility, that we partner with a managed service offering that can support our customer’s goals,” explains Nick Truran, Executive Consultant of AgileIT.
