Novadigm renews partnership with AST

Johannesburg, 07 May 2004

Leading software provider, Novadigm has renewed its reseller agreement with AST Products. Through the agreement, AST will continue to provide its clients with Novadigm`s comprehensive solution and innovative `desired state` technology.

Novadigm`s technology provides ongoing configuration management for enterprise software on servers, desktops and mobile devices, enabling organisations to reduce IT costs and increase service levels.

"By combining our technical expertise with Novadigm`s solutions, AST will enable organisations to manage the discovery, deployment, configuration, repair, update and removal of digital assets - software and content - on computing devices such as servers, desktops, laptops, handhelds, ATMs, point-of-sale terminals and Internet kiosks," explains Henrik Stanley-Madsen, MD of AST Products, a division of the AST Group.

Novadigm`s suite of integrated products, built with proprietary e-wrap technology, work seamlessly together as the only end-to-end solution that can efficiently, reliably and scalably manage the full range of today`s software and content, running on a wide range of computing devices, personalised for individual users, across virtually any network.

Novadigm`s products utilise e-wrap technology with its unique desired-state process to automate the deployment and management of software and content across complex environments - ensuring that the right software components are always available to the right users at the right time, without requiring administrative or user intervention.

E-wrap technology`s patented fractional differencing technique deploys only the minimal software and content items necessary for updates and corrections, minimising network impact and speeding delivery. In addition, e-wrap technology utilises a dynamic, policy-driven management approach, which leverages enterprise directory services and databases to govern the provisioning and ongoing management of software and content.

With Novadigm`s e-wrap technology, IT professionals, software vendors and service providers can manage digital assets with policy-based capabilities that enable automated management of individual applications or entire portfolios of software and content throughout the extended supply chain of publishers, service providers, enterprise IT and users or subscribers
