Saturday, November 21, 2009

The combination of a concurrent license structure and a 60-day guarantee on Cherwell's ITIL and Pink Verified IT Service Management software creates a unique offer allowing organizations to find the optimal number of needed licenses as they exit costly 'legacy' systems that required 'named' licenses.

Cherwell Software, a leader in developing ITIL and Pink Elephant Verified IT Service Management software solutions delivering enterprise-level functionality at a mid-market price, is shaking up the traditional licensing model in the Service Management marketplace, and being noticed overseas, with a unique and innovative guarantee and licensing structure.

Cherwell offers both the SaaS On-Demand and the On-Premise solution in a concurrent license structure which allows multiple users to access the licenses. In addition, the software has the ability to 'reserve' licenses for specific individuals who must always have access. Cherwell also offers a 60-day money back guarantee including return of unused or unneeded licenses.

Building innovative technology based on yesterday values

"As more and more organizations select Cherwell, we've found they often have a hard time determining the number of concurrent licenses they may need because the industry has long had a restrictive and costly 'named license' approach." said Vance Brown, Cherwell CEO. "The innovative approach of Cherwell's concurrent licensing combined with our 60-day guarantee, allows an organization to find the optimal ROI balance of needed licenses in the first 60-days of deployment."

The flexibility in terms of licensing and deployment has been noted by Stephen Mann and Chandranshu Singh of the Butler Group, Europe's leading IT Research & Analysis organization in a recent Technology Audit of Cherwell, "organisations can leverage Cherwell's delivery flexibility and license to deploy the solution 'on premise', access it on demand in a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription model, or employ it delivered as a managed service. The product is mostly sold with concurrent user licenses; however, organisations may alternatively opt for reserved licenses which are similar to named-user licenses except that they can be transferred to other persons within the organisation if required."

The full Butler Group Technology Audit report is available at: http://www.cherwellsoftware.com/analyst-reviews.

Cherwell offers a variety of webinars, including industry overviews such as Higher-Ed, Healthcare and Call-Centers; sign-up is available on-line at www.cherwellsoftware.com/webinar.

If You Thought Flexibility was Important Today…The Future Will Demand It!

Cherwell Software’s European Managing Director, Tony Probert, has been interviewed and featured in the Thought Leadership section of the November/December 2009 issue of VitAL, Europe’s cutting edge publication for IT professionals.

The topic of the article is “The Flexible Service Desk” where Tony notes that today’s service desk and the software being used, must be flexible enough to meet the ever changing needs of customers and the business, if a service desk is incorporating best practices.

Probert argues that for an effective service, “The four key issues will be: self-service; resolution at first call; reduced cost; and improved service. The service desk has to be able to put content in place to make all this possible and without the service desk building it well, it won’t work. If the current service desk software is not offering this level of functionality, the users will look for ones that do…..it isn’t unreasonable to expect that service desk software should be flexible and adaptable enough to flex sufficiently to accommodate unexpected future demands.”

Cherwell Software Secures Two UK Deals

Thursday, September 24, 2009
Cherwell Software, the developers of Cherwell Service Management, continues to gather momentum in the UK by signing two significant contracts. The software is designed for IT support professionals and offers out of the box functionality based on ITIL v3 best practice and unmatched flexibility for users wishing to customize screens, workflow processes and build new business applications leveraging Cherwell’s unique CBAT (Codeless Business Application Technology) platform.

Tony Probert, UK Managing Director, said: “Our ITSM solution is a world away from what the UK market has experienced so far; we’re offering a full ITIL v3 tool which is not only easy to customize, but powerful, intuitive, and cost-effective.” Tony Probert was previously responsible for FrontRange’s European operations as Managing Director and can claim over 18 years in the IT service management sector.

The first of the two contracts to be signed is with Bloxx, the enterprise Web filtering company, which has purchased a solution to support its UK customer base. It anticipates extending use to its offices in Holland, Australia and the US in the near future. Mark Smith, Operations Director, Bloxx, said: “We’re swapping out an established and well-known help desk package as Cherwell promises to help us continue to improve our customer service. Not only is the software more powerful, it’s extremely flexible and makes building new workflow models easy and quick. We’re planning a number of significant improvements to our IT service management approach now we have Cherwell on board.”

Cherwell District Council, located in Oxfordshire and with no commercial connections to Cherwell Software, has also parted company with a well-known service desk solution to move to the fully ITIL centric Cherwell Service Management solution. The objectives for the District Council were to develop new procedures based on ITIL best practice with a focus on improving customer service via enhanced incident and problem management systems, improved management reporting allowing ICT management to target resources more effectively and the use of self service to bring greater efficiency to the team and improving communication to the Council’s user community.

Pat Simpson, Head of Customer Service and Information Systems, explains: “We did extensive research of available solutions before deciding Cherwell Software was the best way to go. We have a strong philosophy of continuous improvement and our old software was not up to the new challenges we were setting ourselves. As we are publicly accountable for costs we were also keen to ensure that our choice represented excellent value – which Cherwell certainly does.”

The Cherwell Service Management solution is available via the traditional license model, or alternatively, on demand in a Software as a Service (SaaS) subscription model . To ensure excellent levels of service and support, Cherwell Software has appointed CRMWorks, IT Service Management and service desk specialists, as its full service delivery partner and is working closely with them to ensure that both contracts are delivered successfully and speedily.

This is enabled through what Cherwell terms ‘Codeless Business Application Technology’ or CBAT. CBAT’s scope extends from simple customisations to existing templates by business users through to complex business processes implemented by advanced users with the help of Web services-based APIs (for integration with other systems)…..Of particular note is the solution’s One Step Action feature which allows support staff to create a workflow for a single process by automating the execution of a series of oft-repeated tasks.”

“We are delighted that Stephen and his team recognized the power and flexibility of Cherwell by highlighting what we believe is a key differentiator with Cherwell Software – the ability to not only easily configure the existing content, but to extend the product to create virtually any other object or functionality – without writing code or using scripts.”

“In Butler Group’s opinion, deployment and pricing flexibility along with a low cost of ownership and out-of-the-box ITIL best practice-based functionality makes the Cherwell solution a very competent ITSM offering that should be considered by mid-market to enterprise-level organisations looking to improve IT operations through the adoption of optimised ITSM processes and ITIL framework best practices.”  Butler continued, “The solution provides comprehensive functionality through an intuitive and uncluttered interface with notable aspects being its flexible delivery model, simple licensing structure, ease of use, customisability, and intuitive design.”
