Kaseya intros flexible systems management

Kaseya, provider of IT management software, has unveiled a generation of systems management tools including software-as-a-service options and advanced flexibility and functionality, reports Business Solutions.

"The needs of a small office/home office user are different than the needs of an IT service provider, which are different than the needs of a corporate IT manager," says Jim Alves, EVP of product marketing and strategy at Kaseya.

"The customer deserves the right to determine which features and functionality they prefer and not be handcuffed by a vendor's delivery or packaging restrictions. We believe our customers' business model should determine the solution we provide to them."

The recent upgrade of the Trim document management software to Trim 7 fulfils that ambition by offering an integrated, full suite of solutions for e-discovery, compliance, records management and archiving.

With Trim 7, HP has focused on upgrading the records and archiving elements. It has created software that enables organisations to transparently manage all of their Microsoft SharePoint Server records in a single environment, regardless of the source of those records.

Larger vendors have been leveraging their resources to bridge financial and skills gaps their clients faced in order to help their users through the tough times earlier. Now the vendor pipelines have started to look healthier as pent up demand has started to come through, though cautious spending still remains the call of the day.
