John Mc Loughlin, MD of J2 Software says that in the tough economic environment of today, companies are constantly looking for ways to survive, and protect their market share. Organisations have less time to focus on security and compliance than ever before - and tight budgets have made system security specialists a luxury in modern day organisations.
"You know these areas have to be addressed; but other things always seem to take priority. Our partnership with Skyview means that we can help. You will now have the ability to allow our offerings and expertise to bring the required attention to security as well as monitor it so you don't have to."
Mc Loughlin adds that J2 has always helped its customers achieve simpler methods for compliance and security monitoring by providing easy to manage data security and policy enforcement solutions.
"I am thrilled to add the SkyView IBMi focused solutions to our arsenal. This will add a fully installed and configured Security Compliance Reporting solution for IBMi, AIX platforms and Linux installations to the J2 portfolio. The solution set is very focused on specific equipment and it takes all the complexity out of compliance and security management problems."
He says he is excited about this opportunity to work with SkyView Partners, as the company brings a leading solution focused specifically at the IBMi, AIX and Linux environments. "This will provide our clients total peace of mind that their compliance and security policies on this equipment are easily and automatically covered."
John Vanderwall, chairman, CEO and co-founder of SkyView Partners adds: "The resources that customers have for their IBMi environments are a precious commodity and developing compliance reports takes time away from the day-to-day details of running of the business. SkyView Partners has created a solution that includes installation of its products, configuration of reports as well as scheduling the reports to be generated for regular monitoring by trained security experts. All customers need to do is check their email for the feedback and recommendations."
Vanderwall says SkyView has found the ideal partner in J2 Software. "J2's proven track record, and well established footprint, particularly in Africa, puts them in a perfect position to distribute SkyView's solutions." J2 has implemented solutions and provided services at many well-known and highly esteemed organisations with sites running in South Africa, Angola, Botswana, Kenya, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. We look forward to a long and successful relationship with J2."
