Blue Turtle Technologies (Blue Turtle), as part of its service management strategy, has signed a partnership with Ayehu to provide advanced automation to the South African market.
Gabby Nizri, Founder & CEO at Ayehu, advises: "Ayehu identified South Africa as a growing market with extensive opportunities. Blue Turtle is an IT leader in the southern African market and we needed a strong partner with exceptional expertise, support and knowledge of the local market. The opportunities for growth were a real factor when identifying a partner and we needed a partner with a solid track record for delivery."
Ayehu develops and markets innovative, enterprise-class IT process automation solutions. Ayehu helps IT professionals to identify and resolve critical incidents, simplify complex operations and achieve improved control over IT infrastructure.
eyeShare is a lightweight IT toolbox that lets users automate complex IT processes within hours. Using a visual workflow designer with over 500 pre-built activities and hundreds of pre-packaged workflow templates, users can automate IT tasks across physical, virtual or cloud environments.
Andrew Parsons, product manager at Blue Turtle Technologies, comments: "Ayehu's suite of solutions brings with it an extension to Blue Turtle's automation solutions and the value proposition is the realisation of a quick ROI, increased profit and improved uptime. This is further complemented by the ability to integrate the physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure. Additional benefits include reduced IT costs and minimised risks through simplifying IT processes, improved quality of service and increased business performance.
"There is a trend in business to transform workload automation, which includes the requirement for SLAs (service level agreements) as an important business process automation (BPA) throughout the enterprise as businesses depend more on IT than ever before to not just support, but also deliver, their most basic functions. SLAs are being imposed on workload management to make sure BPA functions are carried out as expected. There is an expectation that there is more advanced monitoring and alerting in IT automation, as well as critical path analysis to ensure that high-priority processes receive the necessary computing resources as they need it. Workload automation is expected to provide the complex workflows necessary for real-time, or near real-time, data processing. eyeShare is able to meet these business requirements at a fraction of the investment and the return is realised within a short period of time," concludes Parsons.
