As technology consultants, we are usually focused on the next project coming down the pike, and we often forget to celebrate our successes.

Scapa has been a Citrix Partner for almost 20 years, working with their core products from the early days of WinFrame, through MetaFrame, Presentation Server, XenApp, XenDesktop and so on.

Although the latest release of BMC Software’s Remedy ITSM platform – version 9.0 – contains no major new features, it has been re-engineered from a C-based into a Java-based application. The significance of this change will, doubtless, be to facilitate future development of this business-critical system. Scapa Technologies has a vast amount of experience […]
