Bracknell, UK, 18 May 2011: Rubik Solutions and Partners in IT have signed a partnership agreement to develop the Cloud Service Market in the United Kingdom and the Nordic and Benelux countries. The partnership will give both companies access to larger markets whilst enabling the utilisation of common knowledge.

Erik Larsen, CEO, Rubik Solutions, explained: “This agreement will allow us to strengthen and leverage the expertise of both Rubik and Partners in IT because we are setting up a virtual delivery team in the area of Service Management with the Service-now.com cloud solution.”

Paul Cash, managing director of Partners in IT, commented: “Our mutual reseller agreement will also allow us to sell each others’ complimentary software and service management concepts in the markets where we currently operate. The partnership will also enable shared knowledge and resources, enhancing our ability to embark on larger engagements and customers. We are very excited about the partnership and we have already started working on projects together.”

VisionIT from Partners in IT is an enterprise IT management platform delivered as a cloud based subscription service for monitoring heterogeneous infrastructure, networks and applications with a monthly subscription cost, integrated with Service-now.com for end to end service management.

GovernIT from Partners in IT is a detailed integrated process model for Service-now.com providing a fast route to process maturity and IT Service Management productivity.

Rubik’s Open Integration Portal solution is a central engine for data integration and synchronisation. It saves time and cost in data migration, population, maintenance, reporting and in several process integrations.

Rubik’s Service Driven Management (SDM) solution provides a consolidated view of the status of the IT environment and the dependencies between the different IT components. When an application becomes unavailable, Rubik’s SDM reveals what is causing the disruption: whether it is the application itself, the server the application is running on, or the switch the server is connected to.
