Lasne - July 2, 2012
Vision Consulting Group closes partnership agreement with fluid Operations Vision Consulting Group, Vision IT Group's Consulting entity, announces a partnership agreement with fluid Operations®, the leading provider of cloud and data management solutions based on semantic technologies.
The agreement will see Vision Consulting Group deliver
consulting and implementation support for customers licensing
the eCloudManager™ Product Suite from fluid Operations. At
first the agreement will cover customers based in Germany
with the intention to later include customers from other
European countries.
fluid Operations' eCloudManager Product Suite provides both
private and public cloud management and orchestration
platforms, thus allowing customers to bring their enterprise
to the Cloud by establishing IT as a Service in their own
data centers. "We see Vision Consulting Group as a perfect
fit to serve customers as they adopt the Cloud. Customers
benefit from eCloudManager-based services offered by Vision
Consulting Group, and have the option to deploy our cloud
platform within their data center in order to build their
private cloud, with the potential to extend to a hybrid
model," commented Thomas Kucher, Strategic Sales Executive
Channel/Distribution at fluid Operations. Additionally,
Vision Consulting Group's pre-existing extensive involvement
with fluid Operations' eCloudManager makes it well-equipped
to act as an integrator and facilitate customers' adoption of
private clouds.
Productive use of the eCloudManager since December 2010 has
enabled MvB-Consulting, daughter company of Vision Consulting
Group and certified SAP Hosting Service Provider, to monitor
and manage its infrastructure and application resources.
Furthermore, the eCloudManager has allowed MvB-Consulting to
create ready-for-use SAP systems and landscapes within a few
minutes. "Vision Consulting Group is a trusted partner for
business consulting and for the design, development and
implementation of IT services. Given their comprehensive
experience with ERP Solutions and IT Consulting and our
already existing relationship with their daughter company
MvB-Consulting, closing this partnership was a natural step
forward. We already have several joint projects in the
pipeline which we are keen to start working on, now that the
partnership is official, and we look forward to very
successful joint results," continued Kucher.
"Provisioning and maintaining SAP applications can be a
burden and being able to automate these processes, sometimes
up to 100%, allows for better, more flexible services to end
customers. Combining our expertise in the SAP field with that
of fluid Operations® will allow us to deliver targeted
solutions for our joint customers and help them extract more
value out of their SAP applications," added Bodo Franz,
Vision Consulting Group's Head of ERP
Division.
