HYDERABAD, India, Aug. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Satyam Computer
Services Ltd. (NYSE: SAY), a leading global business consulting and
information technology services provider, announced today that it has
partnered with ChangeBASE, the London-based maker of the AOK suite of
compatibility products. The agreement calls for Satyam to integrate
ChangeBASE AOK within its existing services, to provide customers with an
accelerated Application Compatibility Testing, Remediation and Packaging
solution.
The world-class software, coupled with Satyam's extensive expertise,
will automate many of the tasks required to make applications work
seamlessly on a chosen platform. The result is a more rapid process for
application compatibility reporting and repair issues across a range of
platforms, including Microsoft XP and VISTA, as well as a broad range of
virtualization environments. It is especially useful in the early phases of
a project, because it assesses migration program requirements very quickly
and accurately.
"By leveraging ChangeBASE AOK, we can provide a detailed report on the
status of a complete application suite before a migration project," said
Nick Sharma, the global head of Satyam's Infrastructure Management
Practice. "When incorporated into our service suite, the ChangeBASE tools
remove many obstacles associated with application deployment, which is a
considerable challenge for many organizations. They also solve complex
business and technology problems very rapidly, so companies can focus on
strategic initiatives."
AOK has enabled Satyam to reduce the time required to package
applications for a new environment by 70 percent. Additionally, Satyam is
launching several new services that incorporate AOK. These include an
application portfolio assessment that produces results in days, rather than
months. It also determines applications' readiness to run on new platforms,
such as VISTA or Virtualization. Several Satyam clients have reduced the
time of such programs by 90 percent. At the same time, service quality and
consistency have improved.
Satyam is the first Microsoft Applications Compatibility Factory
partner to deploy AOK. At first, it will deploy the tool in its packaging
factory, and then on-site operations, enabling clients to benefit from
infrastructure management services more quickly and at less cost.
"Satyam is revolutionizing several traditionally manual processes for
application compatibility testing and packaging, and creating a new
benchmark in application estate management services," Sharma added. "These
efforts are resulting in practical, real-world advantages for customers."
"Several organizations have benchmarked our software, and the services
Satyam has built around it, and found that it provides significant cost,
accuracy, consistency and quality benefits," said ChangeBASE Managing
Director John Tate. "We look forward to helping Satyam's ever-growing list
of global customers increase their efficiency and serve customers better by
managing their applications and taking advantage of optimal OS and virtual
platforms with ease."
