AST ESM, a division of the AST Group, has announced an enterprise electronic software distribution, remote control, and software reliability tool. Tally Systems` TS.Ready uses unique technology from SWAN International`s Vision64 to deliver business critical software applications quickly and ensure that they remain available.
"Ensuring rapid technology delivery and reliability of that technology once deployed contributes directly to the bottom line of why companies invest in technology in the first place, increasing profit," explains Geoff van den Bosch, MD of AST ESM, SA distributor for Tally Systems.
"In today`s world of e-commerce initiatives, the speed with which technology can be integrated into core business practices is key to remaining competitive," continues van den Bosch.
TS.Ready is designed to provide businesses with a vital competitive advantage by enabling them top rapidly deploy applications, updates and data in support of their business across multiple platforms, networks, and operating systems.
"Companies can increase profits by rapidly deploying the newest and best tools, as well as increase productivity with TS.Ready`s self-healing technology that catches and fixes problems before they bring business to a halt," notes van den Bosch.
Features of TS.Ready include:
Support for Heterogeneous Environments - supports multiple platforms and operating systems, as well as excelling in mixed environments through leveraging existing network infrastructure and the Internet.
Integrity Control Manager (ICM) - guarantees application availability on every enterprise desktop and server by proactively correcting file and configuration-related issues before the end-user knows there`s a problem.
Electronic Software Distribution (ESD) - completely eliminates "sneaker net" distribution, allowing the business to refocus IT personnel on critical initiatives by distributing applications, updates and data automatically.
Remote Control - expedite troubleshooting by preventing miscommunications between end-users and IT, and by allowing support personnel to quickly and efficiently solve problems without having to travel to the affected workstation.
Process Control - monitors application usage, prevents unauthorised access to applications and verifies that TS.Ready itself is up and running properly.
Object-Oriented Management - allows users to be assigned automatically to groups based on business logic and the applications they use, enabling automatic self-installation of applications with no need to predefine new workstations
