As a CIO you are responsible for the overall corporate IT structure, the IT technicians that keep the network up and running and the C structure demands you must answer to. You are the person in the middle and as the person in the middle, everyone in the company expects you to make everything to work smoothly with no down times, no security breaches and no problems at audit times.

First and foremost, our solution, ANSA Platinum helps CIOs proactively plan and act to defend the network, its data, and protect themselves in the job survival game.  A proactive approach is crucial to preventing most network and security problems.  A proactive approach allows a CIO to sets up continuous data protection policies, put in place programs that keep the organization compliant with government and corporate regulations, and wisely reduces operational costs.

How can ANSA Platinum Make an CIO's Job easier?

• Reduce operational costs –By automating labor intensive tasks, such as security patching, asset management, software deployment, compliance auditing, or desktop energy management, IT professionals have more time to perform other mission critical tasks.  Faced with mandatory reductions in force, automation of labor intensive tasks insures the enterprise IT infrastructure remains secure and operational despite lower staff levels.

• Making It Easy to be Green.  ANSA Platinum can deliver hard dollar energy savings, reduce the carbon footprint and improve the operational effectiveness of any IT department. A small company with only 400 desktops can achieve a realistic reduction of $47,000 a year. This is the equivalent of removing 42 cars a year from our roads and freeways.

 

• Patches can be automatically delivered to all PCs at one time. Critical security patches can be installed as soon as they become available.

 

• Knowing what software you have and how it is being used will be a big help at audit time. Unused software can be uninstalled saving maintenance and support costs and possible security problems.

 

• Compliance audits time consuming and very expensive. But if you are ready and all work is done ahead of time, with relevant reports printed, costs can be drastically reduced. Also, it is much easier if an organization stays compliant every single day, instead of the turmoil of the all-out effort at compliance months before the audit is to begin. If your organization is compliant everyday the audit is no longer a fire drill, but becomes a part of the standard operating procedure. ANSA Platinum can help your organization become ready for compliance audits and it can also help keep a company compliant 24/7.

 

• ANSA Platinum provides a secure environment that usually pays for itself.  Comprehensive patch management and effective, timely anti virus deployment greatly reduce the chance of avoidable cyber attacks.  Industry acclaimed configuration management, white lists, and other policies required by your team, regulates who has what deployed on their desktop.    Your enterprise can set effective policies for SOX, HIPAA, PCI and know that those policies are assessed as required, then remediated to and enforced 24/7; not just for an expensive audit procedure.  That means reduced compliance and drastically reduced audit costs.

 

• The cost of ANSA Platinum is one of the lowest in the marketplace. Not because it is less than our competitors, but because we have found a way to build a comprehensive product that outshines the others at a more attractive price point. As far as Autonomic Software is concerned, working to lower to lower our customers costs is just good business.

 

• ANSA Platinum has been built from the ground up by security experts. We have built it to be scalable, flexible, and fast, 100% accurate, visible, and policy driven. The aim was to put in the hands of each customer a solution that is easy to use, and fills their network management and security requirements for a long time in the future.

 

• Automation of labor intensive repetitive tasks saves CIOs a lot of headaches. When tasks such as patching, compliance checking, system auditing, and software deployments are automated.  CIOs can depend on the automation to complete the task assigned, validate that the task was done and report the results.  This knowledge affords a great deal of peace of mind. …and with a true intelligent, autonomic solution like ANSA Platinum, if problems arise they are remediated, a report is sent, and ANSA goes on with the task at hand.

• Easy-to-use report generation allows CIOs to generate different types of reports that provide targeted information to the IT management team, CFO and the CIO. Operational and managerial reports are delivered quickly and in the format that each manager wants. The reporting functionality is flexible and can drill down to obtain data that may not be available any other way. These reports provide clear and accurate views of the network and its use. Security, compliance, hardware and software use, licenses and lease information are among the information that can be used to plan, maintain and upgrade a network for optimum use.

Seeing is believing. We are sure we have a true autonomic solution that installs quickly and we are confident that the tasks you need to be accomplished will get done quickly and accurately.
