Share:
NEW YORK - smartShift Technologies has partnered with Virtual Forge to bring next generation enterprise software optimization, application security expertise and managed cloud services under one roof for the first time.
When updating enterprise technology to work in next generation computing environments such as the cloud, code optimization, application security and other services are essential considerations that companies usually address with separate vendors. The smartShift-Virtual Forge partnership provides a unique, unified solution that enables enterprise customers to meet ambitious technology transformation goals rapidly and securely.
"Forward-looking companies realize that legacy applications can't deliver the powerful capabilities enabled by next generation and cloud-based computing technology," said Seth Henry, CEO Americas, smartShift Technologies. "Concerns about security, prolonged code freezes and mounting costs can make modernization seem too risky for many large organizations. Our partnership's unparalleled expertise and proprietary software changes the equation for CIOs and IT leaders, bringing secure, cost-effective technology transformation within reach."
To adhere to the latest industry standards, SAP customers face the dual challenges of managing the risks associated with application security, compliance and data loss prevention, while simultaneously performing recurring tasks, such as system upgrades, code optimization and custom application development. Through this partnership, smartShift Technologies and Virtual Forge will together reduce those business risks for SAP customers, improving system performance and reducing operating costs.
"Never before have enterprise customers had such comprehensive options when it comes to their application optimization, security and cloud computing needs," said Virtual Forge CEO Dr. Markus Schumacher. "With Virtual Forge's track record in security, compliance and quality and smartShift Technologies' automated transformation and cloud management capabilities, we're bringing a complete solution, the first of its kind, to the SAP market and fulfilling the three key requirements of companies going to the cloud: security, security, security."
