2e2 has seen an increasing demand - from both its customers and the wider marketplace in these specific areas, partly driven by the recently introduced ITIL V3 but, predominantly, from organisations wishing to have a credible technology that can assist them in achieving long-term strategic goals.
2e2’s service management team is ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library) Version 3-certified; it works with executives and technical architects to design appropriate IT solutions.
By encompassing the newScale service catalogue as a core part of its Managed Service proposition, 2e2 believes it will increase its ability to support its clients business by offering clearly understood, consistent, standardised, and rationalised services and appropriate service levels with associated costs to both senior executives and end-users. 2e2 will become the first company in the UK able to offer this service on a hosted basis.
“newScale’s solution is a perfect fit with our current managed services offering. Through the partnership we will ensure that our clients infrastructures are inline with the ITIL. As a partner for this particular solution we are delighted to work with newScale and we look forward to a successful future,” commented Terry Burt, Chief Executive of 2e2.
2e2 will also deliver thought leadership training around the newScale Service Catalogue. 2e2 Training has state of the art facilities in London, Leeds and Birmingham . "Offering Service Catalogue training is a natural development for us, as it supports the delivery of our Managed Service across 2e2's client base,” said Samantha Kinstrey, 2e2 Training Managing Director. “Linked as it is with ITIL V3, we expect to see a significant uptake in this training over the next few months.”
“2e2 brings value to our expanding customer base, with its skills and experience and track record in IT services and management and competence in technology, infrastructure and communication,” said Mark Lindsay, Operation Director, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at newScale, Inc.
