Scapa® Technologies selected as Load Testing and Performance Analysis Supplier for the UK Government’s G-Cloud Programme.
Scapa TPP cloud-based testing tool and services approved for the CloudStore ICT Catalogue.
Edinburgh, UK (March 01, 2012) – Scapa® Technologies, a leading provider of independent load testing, performance analysis and monitoring software and services, has been selected for the G-Cloud Programme, a pre-approved group of specialist ICT suppliers to the UK Government. Scapa Technologies’ extensive experience in ensuring the performance of some of the largest and most complex cloud-based Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (VDIs) makes it a valuable addition to the CloudStore ICT Catalogue.
Scapa Technologies’ Scapa Test and Performance Platform (TPP) has a unique approach to testing IT systems, including cloud-based VDI environments, to which the UK Government has shown a commitment by establishing the G-Cloud programme. By using real user behaviour to generate tests that run from end-to-end Scapa TPP detects system issues, current and projected, and measures system performance accurately. In addition, tests can be set up and run in minutes, allowing projects to be completed within days. For government departments planning to deploy a new or improve an existing cloud-based system, the benefits are clear: lower costs, increased agility and improved user performance. Testing with Scapa TPP ensures these benefits are experienced continuously from the time the system is deployed, providing the best return on investment – a key factor in all IT expenditure decision-making.
Based in Edinburgh, Scapa Technologies is one of a number of small to medium enterprises (SMEs) to appear in the CloudStore ICT Catalogue, which aims to simplify the process of purchasing IT products and services for government departments. The G-Cloud Programme actively encouraged SMEs to propose their products and services for inclusion in the catalogue.
Iain McLeod, Scapa Technologies’ Director said, “As a small, independent, Scottish company, we are delighted that our software and services have been chosen for inclusion in CloudStore alongside some larger software companies and systems integrators, such as BT, CSC and Microsoft. Being small is no disadvantage, however, it helps us to respond to customer requirements quickly and deliver bespoke services in shorter timeframes than may be possible otherwise. In fact, we have worked and continue to work with a number of the larger companies in CloudStore.” Discussing the potential opportunities that inclusion in the CloudStore catalogue could bring to Scapa Technologies, he added, “We believe that the combination of our software’s end-to-end testing and monitoring capabilities and our unrivalled consulting services is unique within the catalogue, and we are looking forward to having the chance to demonstrate the benefits of these to IT buyers in the public sector.”
