StreamFoundry Is an Approved Software Vendor With the State of Texas

Offers Texas agencies an ITIL focused, web-based, scalable Service Management solution on the IBM Mainframe

BURLINGTON, Mass., March 2 -- The Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) added StreamFoundry's CMS (DIR-SDD-834) to the list of approved software suites. StreamFoundry has the ability to sell CMS to the Office of the Governor, Texas Legislature, and oversight agencies; state agencies, universities, and their boards; school districts; and political subdivisions.

CMS is the only dedicated Service Management Solution for Problem, Incident, Change, Configuration, and Request Management that runs on the IBM Mainframe. CMS 3.1 offers greater flexibility for process adaptation, integration with other applications, development and reporting, and our spring release will run on Linux on z.

  CMS 3.1 boasts the following highlights:
  --  A Web 2.0 user interface
  --  A "Google-like" search capability
  --  A tight unification of problem, change and configuration driving
      impact analysis
  --  Dynamic field relationships
  --  Customized reporting
  --  A configurable dashboard

"Mission critical, heterogeneous infrastructure management on the mainframe! It's a solution so perfect and reasonable; you wonder what took so long for it to be implemented. StreamFoundry's CMS should be on every data center managers' shortlist," said Rich Ptak, Co-Founder and Principal Analyst at Ptak, Noel & Associates LLC.

CMS can be found at some of the world's largest financial, automotive and government agencies. "Any large organization that runs mission critical operations on the IBM Mainframe will be interested in CMS," according to StreamFoundry CEO R. Douglas Shute. CMS offers process discipline in sync with business operations for problem, incident, change, request, and configuration management, and it enables the customer to keep what works and add only what is needed.

From a cost perspective, CMS provides great value by leveraging an organization's existing infrastructure. Because CMS is a fixed-price suite, there are neither seat licenses to track nor MSUs to add. SFI can save large enterprises up to seven figures in the first year alone relative to other Service Management providers.
