LANDESK

LANDesk’s company story is simple. Since 1985, LANDesk has created innovative technologies and products for enterprise IT management. Their corporate mission is to continue to lead the innovation and development of the world’s best integrated systems, security, service and process management solutions.

A History of Strength and Rapid Innovation

The foundation for LANDesk’s leading IT management solutions was laid more than 20 years ago. And LANDesk has been growing and innovating the systems, security, service and process management spaces ever since. Their singular focus and commitment to understanding customers’ real business needs—and to delivering easy-to-use solutions for those needs—are just a few of the reasons they continue to grow and expand.

LANDesk pioneered the desktop management category back in 1993. That same year, IDC named LANDesk the category leader. And LANDesk has continued to lead the systems configuration space: pioneering virtual IT technology in 1999, revolutionising large-packet distribution with LANDesk® Targeted Multicast™ technology and LANDesk® Peer Download™ technology in 2001, and delivering secure systems management over the Internet and hardware-independent network access control capabilities with LANDesk® Management Gateway and LANDesk® Trusted Access™ Technology in 2005.

In 2006, LANDesk added process management technologies to its product line and began integrating the systems, security and process management markets. LANDesk also extended into the consolidated service desk market with LANDesk® Service Desk, and was acquired by Avocent to operate as an independent division.

Today, LANDesk continues to lead the convergence of the systems, security, process and service management markets. And our executives, engineers and other professionals work tirelessly to deliver leading solutions to markets around the globe.

Bomgar

Support remote desktops, laptops, smart phones (including BlackBerry), and servers all from one screen. Unlike traditional PC remote control software, Bomgar works through firewalls on multiple platforms with no preinstalled client. Unifying remote support with Bomgar lets you strengthen security (Legacy remote access software tools compromise security, and contributed to 40% of data breaches in 2008), lower support costs and replace multiple remote control tools.

Bomgar's mission is to change the way work is done. We work to free the enterprise tech support community from the restraints of access barriers and geography, and from the inefficiency of traditional phone-based and on-site support.

Enterprise remote support with Bomgar makes support more responsive, efficient and secure by removing the geographical and technological barriers between customers and those supporting them. Providing support with Bomgar helps your company respond faster, distribute specialists more evenly, increase the productivity of current staff, and resolve incidents more cost-effectively. With Bomgar, support becomes a shared virtual resource.

Bomgar Customers

Since 2003, 5,000 corporate customers in 53 countries have chosen Bomgar as their platform for remote support.

Leading industry analysts and consultants recognise Bomgar as a technology innovator.

The Alignability® Process Model

The Alignability® Process Model provides field-proven IT Service Management processes for the BMC Service Desk Expresssuite. The Alignability® processes are based on a combination of the best-practice ITIL® methodology and the Total Quality Management principle of continuous improvement.

Where ITIL® provides the theory and guidelines, the Alignability® Process Model provides the processes, procedures, and detailed work instructions. It even comes with a set of configuration files that automatically configure the BMC Service Desk Express application suite for the support of the Alignability® processes. The processes and the configuration files for service management application dramatically reduce the time required for, and the risks associated with, service management implementation projects.

The Alignability® Process Model is split into two modules, the "Service Support" module and the "Service Delivery" module. The Service Support module provides the processes required for a solid service management foundation. The six service support processes are:

Configuration Management
Event Management
Incident Management
Problem Management
Change Management
Release Management

The Service Delivery module is targeted at mature service provider organisations. This module contains the following advanced service management processes:

Service Level Management
Availability Management
Capacity Management
Continuity Management
Financial Management

The implementation of the service support processes of the Service Support module can be completed within 30 days. This represents savings of 4 to 6 months. The reason why the Alignability® Process Model can be implemented so quickly is that it allows organissations to eliminate the process definition phase of their service management implementation projects.

The configuration files, which automatically configure BMC Service Desk Express suite, also help to reduce the duration of service management implementations by saving at least 40 more days. These 40 days are normally required by an experienced technical consultant for the configuration of the application to ensure that it supports the service management processes that the organisation has defined.

The 30-day implementation plan is provided with the Alignability® Process Model to ensure that customers can reliably complete the implementation of the service support processes within 30 days. The standard implementation plan (which caters for a detailed process review and subsequent customisation) is also provided for organisations that do not want to start from scratch, but do not yet feel comfortable enough to commit to a 30-day implementation.

The Alignability® Process Model was originally developed in 1999 and is maintained by consistently incorporating the ideas from each implementation into the next version of the model. The model has already been deployed by more than 250 organisations in over 40 countries in a wide variety of industries.

MIRROR42

Mirror42 solutions enable IT organisations to define, measure, and improve key performance indicators. Why do you want to measure key performance indicators?

Measure IT Costs

Understand the costs of IT, the costs of downtime, of productivity loss, of your suppliers. Measure these often hidden costs week-by-week and identify the trends. Find out where you can cut costs or prevent productivity loss.

Measure IT Effectiveness

How stable and reliable are you in delivering IT services? How predictive is your quality of service? How mature are your processes, how well do you control your IT risks? Mirror42 helps you to define Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) related to the quality of your processes and services. It will identify areas to improve and will tell you what IT resources / suppliers are effective and which ones are not.

Measure Innovative Capabilities

How fast do you respond to new business requirements, how fast do you fulfil new service requests, how fast do you solve incidents and problems, how fast do you roll-out new services? Mirror42 helps you to understand your innovation cycles and troubleshoot capacity so you can improve your innovative capabilities.

Whether you provide Managed Services or run an internal IT organisation, Mirror42 helps you gain insight against a lower TCO than any other solution available today.

Mirror42 and Infravision have teamed up to deliver an ITSM Dashboard for BMC Service Desk Express. The Dashboard is based on the Alignability process model and delivers 20+ Key Performance Indicators for IT Service Management processes. The data for these KPI’s is automatically collected from BMC Service Desk Express and it allows businesses to track and analyse trends on their IT Service Delivery and IT Service Quality. Mirror42 for BMC Service Desk Express also works on implementations where the Alignability process model was not used, in these circumstances InfraVision can help you define and build your KPI’s.
