MATERNA and Hewlett-Packard, one of the world’s leading technology producers, started a new partnership in the year of 2008. Since 2010 MATERNA is Hewlett-Packard "HP Software Silver Business Partner". MATERNA’s main focus here is on the BTO portfolio (Business Technology Optimisation) from HP. The two partners complement each other particularly well in the fields of IT Service Management, Business Service Automation and Business Service Management.
In future MATERNA intends to continue to extend its position in the service automation segment. HP offers a wide range of products in this field, for example, for automation in data centres and automation for networks and clients. “Now, more than ever, companies have to reduce costs, minimise risks and increase their speed – and automation is the best way to do it”, says Dr. Thomas Wiese, Head of Sales Channel and Commercial Business at HP Software & Solutions. “MATERNA has excellent IT process know-how and can thus help customers to introduce automation solutions quickly and with low project risks.”
MATERNA implements service automation solutions on the basis of HP products in the following areas: server automation, client management, storage automation, virtualisation, network infrastructure automation and operations orchestration. With the help of orchestration mechanisms, IT line managers can overcome the silos within their IT. But this does demand that change and task operations are orchestrated throughout.
HP solutions complement MATERNA’s consulting method
MATERNA accompanies their customers in the field of IT management from process consulting and technology selection through to implementation and integration in existing IT infrastructures. These services are provided by MATERNA with their Service Excellence brand. Service Excellence is a professional and modular IT service management consulting method which supports customers on the way to achieving strategically structured and value-adding IT. Service Excellence takes the integrative dimensions of processes, organisation and technologies into account. The common element connecting the three dimensions is IT management.
More and more customers contract MATERNA to support them with creating invitations for tenders, carrying out proofs of concept (PoC) and with tool selection. As a manufacturer-independent full service provider MATERNA thus maintains partnerships with all the leading manufacturers in this market segment. The HP products supplement the MATERNA portfolio very well, enabling them to advise customers who, for example, have already decided to use HP products or those who already use them.
