ALSTOM Australia wins distribution rights for Mercury Interactive application management offering
Announcement posted by Alstom Information Technology 22 Sep 2003
ALSTOM Australia Ltd has been appointed an Australian distributor for Mercury Interactive, the global leader in Business Technology Optimization (BTO). ALSTOM Information Technology, the IT division of ALSTOM Australia will distribute Mercury Interactive's SiteScope, an application management product that monitors the performance of business critical distributed systems.
ALSTOM Information Technology, will leverage its extensive national network of account managers, pre-sales support and marketing staff to assist Mercury Interactive resellers with education, promotional and sales support for the SiteScope product.
SiteScope continuously monitors a company's distributed systems and infrastructure, sending alerts when problems are detected to enable the organisation to pinpoint and resolve performance issues before they impact customers.
"Customers today are demanding a better ROI on their infrastructure investment," said Greg Newham, General Manager for ALSTOM Information Technology.
"Mercury Interactive's SiteScope will allow them to manage the performance of applications on their network and identify potential issues and bottlenecks. SiteScope has synergies with many of the software products that we are distributing in the channel, so this alliance with Mercury Interactive is very timely," he said.
Mercury Interactive's Managing Director, Graham Sowden, said the relationship with ALSTOM Information Technology would enhance SiteScope's positioning within a growing Australian market.
"In partnering with ALSTOM IT, we have chosen a distributor with a commitment to quality service and support that matches our own. We are confident this alliance will not only benefit our two companies, but will also ensure that resellers and customers are well supported as they seek to optimise their network performance."
