Cronacle™ drives comprehensive SaaS and Cloud IT management solutions.
Houten, NETHERLANDS – November 4, 2011: Redwood Software and Delaware Consulting announced a strategic partnership. Combining Delaware’s leadership as a multinational IT services provider (headquartered in Belgium) with the agility and power of Cronacle™ by Redwood gives customers a complete IT automation solution - all within a flexible software as a service (SaaS) model.
“Delaware Consulting provides a scalable, component-based service offering designed to manage or co-manage our customers’ complete IT infrastructure” says Guy Clarysse, Business Plan Manager for Infrastructure Services at Delaware Consulting. “We design, implement and manage solutions around proven SAP® and Microsoft AX, SQL, AD, Exchange and Lync technologies.”
“Cronacle is the engine Delaware will use for IT process management. The SaaS delivery model offers complete flexibility for our customers,” says Clarysse. “We strongly believe in cloud solutions and, for example have SAP Human Capital Management as a service available to our customers. This approach offers many benefits. Initial license and maintenance costs - as well as the cost of upgrades - are eliminated. Unruly capital expenditures become predictable operational expenditures based on volume and use. With Cronacle, our customers can effectively and flexibly automate their processes and have a monthly bill based on volume.”
“Our partnership with Delaware Consulting is another step in our corporate effort to offer new automation and job scheduling alternatives to customers via SaaS and cloud delivery models,” says Marco Geerinck, Vice President of Redwood Software, Inc. “Delaware Consulting is an ideal partner for us. Their strategy, vision, customer-focused philosophy and global reach fits with our approach perfectly.”
“It's an ideal combination,” Clarysse says. “Redwood offers Cronacle software in a SaaS model, delivers expert training, expert consultancy, support - everything our customers need. Delaware Consulting manages the Cronacle infrastructure and delivers added value to the customers with functional and business expertise.”
Recently Delaware Consulting and Redwood acquired their first mutual SaaS customer, about to go into production beginning of 2012.
Redwood and Delaware see a bright future for their unique technology and service delivery model - giving customers maximum enterprise IT optimization at a manageable cost.
