Our key aim at Scapa Technologies is to improve system performance by removing, as far as possible, the risks and cost of failure in deploying and maintaining IT systems. We do this by providing tools and testing services that can be used from initial development, through deployment, migrations, upgrades, general maintenance and day to day monitoring of the system in use. This month we will be launching Scapa Lite Edition (LE) for Remedy; an even easier-to-use solution based on Scapa TPP for Remedy. Scapa LE is the ideal solution for all those smaller-scale, day-to-day tests that ensure business operations for many organizations. Read on for further details about this exciting new product.

Also, read on to find out more about an invitation to our Thin Client customers to undertake a testing process review with us, our new partnership with KTSL, an Elite BMC Business Partner, and details of their upcoming Remedy Plus Forum event at the end of this month (26 February).

New Product – Scapa Lite Edition (LE) for Remedy

Scapa LE for Remedy will be released this month and is an ideal introduction to our suite of testing products. It delivers amazing testing functionality that retains all of the power of our full Scapa Test and Performance Platform, encapsulated in an easy to use GUI. With some experience of Remedy, you will be able to use Scapa LE to test large and small scale system deployments. Scapa LE will be suitable for different types of testing, from initial development, deployment, migrations, upgrades, general maintenance and the ongoing day to day monitoring of the production system, ensuring ongoing system performance and business operations.

Contact us for further details on Scapa LE for Remedy and to try it out on your system.

Scapa TPP for Remedy – Success Story

Scapa consultants have been assisting a multinational provider of IT and networking technology solutions recently on a large-scale project for one of their largest Remedy ITSM customers (in terms of the total number of licensees across various Remedy instances). Two cycles of testing were completed (against both a pre-production and a production system) with a capacity to simulate up to 2000 concurrent users and their core set of transactions against the latest version of Remedy ITSM. The whole testing project was completed in only FIVE days as time-scales got very tight, due to earlier delays. The customer avoided the need to move its intended go live date or launch an untested system and experienced a trouble-free launch of their service.

Special Invitation for Citrix, Microsoft Remote Desktop and VMware Horizon Customers.

We have recently been involved in a number of testing projects involving remote hosted desktop solutions, using Scapa TPP for Thin Client (e.g. Citrix® XenDesktop®/XenApp®, VMware™ Horizon™ and Microsoft™ Remote Desktop). We have provided advice covering the optimization and automation of testing processes, testing methodology, bottleneck identification and mitigation and performance analysis and tuning. The results of these projects have been incredibly worthwhile and are worth sharing.

We would, therefore, like to extend an invitation to our Thin Client customers to contact us for a FREE review of their current testing processes and procedures using, in combination, our consultants’ expertise in this field along with Scapa TPP’s unrivaled functionality.
