News Facts

• BDNA Corporation has signed a reseller partner agreement with ManageForce Corporation, an Oak Brook, Illinois-based enterprise software service provider.
• ManageForce indicates that it will use BDNA IT Genome Center products, including BDNA Discover™ and BDNA Normalize™ as supported by BDNA Technopedia™, to help customers assess the current state of their software services delivery posture and indicate ways to optimize the cost effectiveness of alternative and next-generation software service delivery models.
• ManageForce provides consulting and managed services to help clients reduce software licensing costs, particularly for enterprise applications that include Business Objects, Hyperion, JD Edwards, MicroStrategy, MySQL, Oracle, SAP and SQL Server.

Just in Time, Just Enough Enterprise Software

• ManageForce’s services are designed to take cost, complexity and waste out of enterprise software service delivery.
• The ideal state for enterprise software is to maintain inventories of active enterprise software licenses on a “no more, no less” level required to maintain a reliable level of service.
• This can be accomplished either through a dynamic, “supply chain” approach to license management or software-as-a-service with ManageForce in the role of managed service provider.
• In either case, BDNA IT Genome Center products add visibility, agility and transparency to the software service delivery process, and in so doing, strengthening ManageForce’s positive differentiation and customer value proposition in the competitive market for software service delivery.

• BDNA’s IT Genome Center solution set, which includes BDNA Technopedia, BDNA Discover and BDNA Normalize products, helps enterprise IT managers improve the speed and quality of IT management decision making, reduce IT cost of ownership, and enhance the value of new IT investment and initiatives.
• BDNA Normalize correlates customer infrastructure configuration data generated by Microsoft SCCM or other asset inventory products with information from BDNA Technopedia, the industry’s most comprehensive encyclopedia of technical and product lifecycle information containing more than 9.5 million data points on more than 87,000 commercial IT product models and versions.
