ASG Software Solutions Receives EMA's Best BSM Platform Integration


Oct 16, 2010 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- ASG Software Solutions, a provider of business solutions for global enterprises, announced that its Application-Aware Network Performance Management solution has been recognized as the recipient of Enterprise Management Associates (EMA's) Best BSM Platform Integration as part of EMA's Radar Report for Application-Aware Network Performance Management (ANPM) Q3 2010.



Additionally, ASG earned a "strong value" rating throughout the report.

The Company said ASG's ANPM solution is a highly-customizable and integrated platform that includes ASG's BSP Network and User Service Alignment, ASG-TeVISTA Expert, ASG-Sentry, ASG's metaCMDB and ASG-TMON for Web-Based Applications.


According to a release, this Radar Report evaluated 18 vendors and compared their ability to deliver basic and advanced application awareness across a wide range of network and application technologies. Vendors were evaluated on various criteria including: architecture, integration, functionality, deployment, administration, cost, and vendor strength.

Jim Frey, Research Director, Enterprise Management Associates said, "A significant strategic objective in a growing number of IT organizations is the implementation and achievement of effective Business Service Management (BSM). While this strategy almost always originates outside of and reaches far beyond the networking team, ASG has recognized that ANPM data can be extremely useful in bringing business service, process, and user experience performance intelligence to BSM." Report Highlights: ASG's Business Service Management Solution -ASG compared favorably to a field of participants, ranking at or above average in most measures of ANPM functionality, and showed particular relative strength in the areas of alerting/alarming, active controls, and visualization/reporting.

-ASG offers a true cross-domain BSM solution and promotes the perspective that ANPM, along with other domain viewpoints, should be aligned with business services as a starting design point.

-ASG is one of the few vendors that tightly integrates Web application and analysis into an ANPM solution.

The Company noted that the EMA Radar Report delivers an in-depth analysis of vendors and vendor products, including their overall market position in comparison with other vendors.
