Reflective Solutions has today announced a new technology partnership agreement with, Vetasi, the UK's leading Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) consultancy.
Reflective specialises in the development of enterprise-class application performance testing and monitoring tools. The company's flagship product, StressTester, is used by major organisations to test that their Intranet and Extranet applications and their e-commerce Web sites are fully optimised and scalable to support their business requirements.
StressTester is widely used to validate the performance criteria for users of Maximo EAM and other ERP and EAM applications. Unlike other enterprise-class tools, StressTester does not require weeks of set-up time which means that full, realistic performance tests can be conducted during the development phase, with results obtained typically in hours or days rather than the weeks required with other tools.
The agreement is a part of Vetasi's strategic development plans aimed at further establishing their position as the UK's number one IBM Maximo EAM consultancy service provider. This will include the launch of an integrated performance testing and application tuning' service for existing Maximo deployments based on Reflective's StressTester tool.
Vetasi also plan to launch a managed application monitoring service based on Reflective's application availability and performance monitoring tool, Sentinel. This will provide Maximo users with real-time performance information designed to trigger an alert whenever a functional or performance problem is identified, before it impacts the application's users.
The service uses a series of Sentinel monitors that can be located anywhere within the client's corporate network infrastructure, including beyond the network firewall. The monitors are configured to simulate real-user activity and test that all the critical tasks in the application continue to operate correctly, within pre-defined performance thresholds, from the perspective of individual user groups, wherever they are located.
The agreement with Vetasi is the latest in a series of new partnership agreements for Reflective Solutions, which has recently adopted a focussed channel sales strategy as part of the company's rapid expansion within North America, EMEA and the Asia PAC region.
"Vetasi are an ideal partner for Reflective" commented Reflective's Partner Director, Peter Richardson. "The combination of their EAM expertise and our best of breed testing and monitoring tools is a winning formula that can fulfil a genuine need in the Maximo sector. I am looking forward to working with them to help grow both our businesses."
Jim Mullan, Principle Technical Consultant at Vetasi, said "We have been genuinely impressed with the ease of use of the Reflective tools and the depth of experience the company already has in the Maximo space. StressTester and Sentinel will help to give us an edge in the market and offer our customers highly valuable services that can deliver rapid RoI. This signals an exciting new phase in the development of our business."
