New program enables resellers to deliver a diverse range of systems management tools with comprehensive support and attractive margins

Systems management software provider, Halcyon Software, has today announced the launch of its new reseller program for its range of systems management solutions, in a drive to recruit 12 new channel partners both in the UK and EMEA during 2006. This comprehensive channel partner program will enable resellers to deliver total systems management solutions for the IBM System i™ (iSeries™, AS/400™) and Windows Server platforms to large multinational companies, SME’s, corporate data centres and outsource specialists in the UK and Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

The Halcyon Software partner program is designed to assist resellers in cost-effective and comprehensive systems management tools through a broad program of partner support, deal registration, promotions and initiatives that deliver quick results and attractive product margins – sales values are typically in the range of £10,000 to £200,000+ and margins for qualified reseller partners are up to 40% of sales value.

Lorraine Cousins, Managing Director of Halcyon Software comments, “Halcyon has seen a consistent growth in its customer base, and has decided to launch its partner reseller channel in order to better serve those organisations who have an active interest in new systems management solutions. The relationship that Halcyon has with its resellers is for the long term – providing full technical support and customised solutions for the end user to solve exact requirements; that could not otherwise be solved using an out of the box solution.”

The Halcyon product portfolio consists of five systems management suites, each designed to monitor and control servers from any location, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and ensure maximum availability. This combination of products offers Halcyon channel partners the broadest and most comprehensive systems management tools available in the market.

Integrated into each of the Halcyon product suites is the Halcyon Enterprise Console, a GUI enabling the IT manager to view system messages and alerts on a single graphical screen. Colour coded options help identify different servers and different types of alert, so replies can be given to inquiry messages and alerts closed from a central console, from a single location.

Cousins continues, “The diverse range of systems management tools provided by Halcyon Software will enable companies to benefit from significant cost savings. Halcyon’s suite of products equips the IT department with the essential tools to become more efficient in day-to-day job routines, enabling it to respond to system events as and when they happen, and from any geographic location. One customer has reported savings in staff time of circa 63 hours per week since deploying our software. This they tell us equates to an annual cost saving of around £53,000, and what is more they are happy to confirm a Return on Investment of less than 18 months. Resellers of Halcyon’s systems management tools can expect a high level of interest in the range of solutions available, and a quick sales cycle, coupled with a full reseller and training support program”
