OSM signs up to resell PUM in Europe
15th August 2008
PERTH, Western Australia and ASCOT, UK. August 15th, 2008: Perth software house, Applecross Technologies Pty Ltd. ("APTECH") today announced the signing of a European-wide support agreement with Open Systems Management Ltd. ("OSM") for its Privileged User Manager ® ("PUM") software. The agreement provides users of the PUM software in Europe with help desk facilities that operate within their time zone, so reducing the time taken to respond to support queries.
The agreement is a result of the early success of the PUM software in Europe, driven by legislation such as the European Data Directives that can require controls over the access rights of administration accounts. PUM allows end user organizations to manage and monitor the use of those administration accounts, providing an indelible audit trail of all activity.
Neil Chaney, CEO of Applecross Technologies said, "The very low price points at which PUM is licensed necessitate that support is primarily provided by electronic means. The size of some of our prospective users in Europe, however, means that we must be able to provide interactive support in the event that it is necessary. OSM has been in the business of supplying and supporting UNIX and Linux based systems management software for nearly twenty years and has the best reputation for support in the business. We are very proud to now be able to offer our European users that level of support."
Chaney went on to say, "Improved security and auditing is required by most end user organizations to meet the demands of recent legislation. PUM provides for significant extra functionality to help facilitate compliance."
Dr. Mohamed Kharbouch, OSM's Customer Services Manager, said, "The functionality of the PUM product and the quality of its code makes it an attractive addition to OSM's stable of products. The fact that its user base will overlap considerably with our own means that we will be able to provide additional support to some of our major customers."
The agreement commences immediately and all European users of PUM are encouraged to contact OSM's help desk if and when they require interactive support. Contact details:
