Blue Turtle Technologies is a Solutions Provider for BMC Software, and currently distributes and supports the global company’s enterprise services management (ESM) solutions. Gray Farrell, Business Development Manager – Mainframe Solutions, Blue Turtle Technologies, says that this successful relationship established a solid foundation for the two companies. “Adding BMC’s mainframe offerings to our product range is a new direction for us. While the mainframe industry is a niche market, this is a positive growth strategy for Blue Turtle and will definitely expand BMC’s presence in the local arena.”
The MSM solution set is suitable for large institutions such as finance and insurance houses, banks, government departments and high-end retail groups. BMC’s MSM solutions focus on the performance, availability and recovery of mainframe environments over three key areas – monitoring and performance management through its MAINVIEW software; scheduling and automation through its CONTROL software; and tools and utilities for IMS and DB2 databases.
Organisations can maximise return on investment and improve service levels through optimising skills and hardware, simplifying daily operations through automation, enabling operators to quickly identify and solve problems, and prioritising actions based on business requirements, thus capitalising on business service management strategy. According to Salvatore Bertolino – MSM Sales South Africa, BMC, MSM is a focused solution based on the company’s expertise. “BMC began with mainframes in the early 1980s. Over the years it has added technologies to its offering, culminating in the Business Service Management company we are today. “By adding Blue Turtle as an MSM partner we expect that we will increase our market share and offer additional choice to benefit the mainframe customers in the country,” says Bertolino.
Blue Turtle Technologies has invested in the continuous upskilling of its team to ensure that customers are receiving the best technical support, and the newly appointed Farrell has over 26 years experience in the industry. “While our main aim is to assist customers in obtaining an effective and optimised system as cost-effectively as possible, we also want to provide the best support and service,” says Farrell. Blue Turtle also distributes and supports mainframe solutions from Macro 4, Vanguard and Rocket Software. Blue Turtle Technologies provides and supports best-in-class software solutions that optimise, enhance and leverage existing IT investment and assist in the cost-effective delivery of new technology. The company offers an extensive product range, sourced through its strategic partnerships with leading local and international software providers, augmented by best-practice implementation services.
