NetIQ, the California-based provider of infrastructure management tools, has extended its South African partnership with Network Support Services (NSS), a move which will see the local company providing added infrastructure service assurance management services and solutions in support of all NetIQ`s performance and availability, administration and security management solutions.
Mike Hibbert, NetIQ`S EMEA director of business development, said: "We`ve been rapidly expanding our product range over the past year, bringing to market a cohesive range of system and security management solutions. Our acquisition of PentaSafe and Marshal Software in December 2002 further enhanced these management solutions. By extending our relationship with NSS as a key NetIQ solutions provider in SA, we`re now bringing a comprehensive range of solutions to the local customer base."
NetIQ brand manager at NSS, Riaan Odendaal, said NSS` mission of delivering IT infrastructure service management solutions to enable customers to meet the challenges posed by the ever increasing dependence on IT infrastructure, convergence and skills shortages had been greatly boosted by the extension of the company`s relationship with NetIQ.
"In order for organisations to succeed, a combination of processes, organisation and technology is required," he said. "NSS delivers by employing skilled experts in the field and forming alliances with industry-leading companies that develop best of breed technology solutions. Clearly, NetIQ is one of the jewels in our crown."
