Resellers, Systems Integrators and Solution Providers Prefer Solidcore for Unique Change Policy Enforcement Capabilities
PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Solidcore Systems, Inc.,
the leader in adding control to change management, today announced its
new "Solidified-for-Change" partner program for value-added resellers
(VARs), systems integrators and solution providers. The program enables
channel partners to improve system and service availability for their
clients by deploying Solidcore's real-time change control software.
Independent research has shown that 60-80% of system unavailability
is caused by incorrectly applied change, which includes changes made at
unauthorized times, changes made without an approved change ticket and
improperly executed changes. The incorrectly applied changes occur
because of a gap between the IT change management processes and the
ability to understand and enforce actual changes to the infrastructure.
Solidcore's Solidified-for- Change program enables partners to close
the change gap and improve system availability for their clients with
automated enforcement of change policies, real-time change tracking and
validation of change activity against change tickets.
"The demand for change control is growing rapidly among our
customers who want to maximize service availability and reduce IT
costs," said Ken Stainsby, president of Nashco, a leading provider of
service management and security solutions, and a Solidified-for-Change
partner. "Solidcore gives us a competitive advantage by providing our
clients with real-time tracking capabilities across servers, desktops
and databases, and also allows customers to enforce change policies
already established through existing change management processes."
The new Solidified-for-Change partner program is designed for VARs,
systems integrators and solution providers that provide IT
optimization, service management and compliance solutions. Solidcore
works closely with new and existing partners to provide sales and
technical training, pre- and post- sales support, as well as a variety
of joint marketing programs to build momentum.
"Any manufacturer from automotive, to medical devices, to consumer
goods needs the ability to control change elements within a plant
environment to achieve maximize efficiency and process enforcement,"
said Rob Markevics, vice president of manufacturing systems for VIA
Information Tools, a Troy, Mich.- based manufacturing information
domain expert and Solidified-for-Change partner. "Our customers are
continuously looking for products that will automate and streamline
their manufacturing processes so that they can be properly enforced.
Solidcore's S3 Control solution, which will be branded under VIA's
suite of products, automates the process of tracking changes throughout
the infrastructure and links actual changes with existing change
management systems. This ensures that all changes are known and
appropriately executed."
Solidcore S3 Control is easily configurable for resellers and
systems integrators to increase the availability of IT services, enable
the successful implementation of ITIL (Information Technology
Infrastructure Library) projects and reduce the cost of compliance
initiatives such as Sarbanes-Oxley. Solidcore's change control software
provides real-time visibility into what changes are being made,
reconciliation of actual changes with existing change- ticketing
systems, and is the first solution to provide technology-based change
policy enforcement to automatically ensure changes made to the
infrastructure are in-line with the change policy.
"Understanding and controlling change is at the heart of service
availability for today's IT organizations, and we look forward to
extending our customer success through the new Solidified-for-Change
partner program," said Bob Vieraitis, vice president of marketing for
Solidcore. "Solidcore is first to provide automated, real-time change
tracking and change policy enforcement, which enables customers to
quickly and easily pinpoint the who, what, when, where and why of
changes to the infrastructure -- reducing costly outages and improving
service availability."
