MW2 ANNOUNCES ITS AUTOMATED ACCELERATORS FOR HP SOFTWARE BUSINESS SERVICE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS
Helps dramatically reduce delivery time and total cost of ownership

Sunnyvale, CA, October 22, 2007

MW2 today announced its automated accelerators for HP Business Service Management (BSM) software. The accelerators enable customers to take a proven step-by-step approach to ensure successful business service management rollouts and minimize delivery time.

“MW2 has proven methodology to tie business process to IT services for end-to-end management,” Uwe Weinkauf, CEO of MW2 states. “Through the use of HP Business Availability Center and MW2’s three-tiered automated approach, customers have the ability to proactively address application performance issues before they impact their business.”

All of MW2’s projects are guided by the MW2 business service management methodology to deliver solid results. This strategy includes use of pre-built project templates, ERP domain models and expertise and MW2 accelerators for process automation that enable users to make major improvements, including faster delivery time, reduced total cost of ownership and establishment of best practices.

MW2 leverages ERP and HP software to offer comprehensive end-to-end solutions which span the Business Processes, Application, and Infrastructure layers. MW2 helps users define a robust strategy that combines key HP Business Technology Optimization software components, including HP Business Availability Center, HP Business Process Monitor, HP SiteScope, HP Diagnostics, HP Discovery and Dependency Mapping, HP Change Control Management, HP ServiceCenter and more. This enables close monitoring of business impacts through the HP Operations Dashboard.

The benefits of this approach are many. Through improved control of IT processes across multiple ERP and non-ERP systems, and moving from a remedial environment to a preventative one, dramatic operational improvements can be achieved. These include enhanced service availability, significant reduction in mean time to repair, and cuts in operating costs as high as 25-40%. Standardization of repetitive, manual, activities can also expedite response to incidents, problems, events, and service requests in both virtual and physical environments.

“By using HP BSM, MW2 helps accelerate deployment of one of the most extensible business service management offerings in the marketplace,” said Chuck Neal, Vice President, Channel and Alliances, Software, HP.
