Cloud Computing Pioneer Chooses MetraTech's MetraNet As Billing Platform
LONDON, April 15, 2010 - Nervogrid - Information Technology (IT) service provider for the SME
sector - has selected innovative billing software and customer care product
provider MetraTech (www.metratech.com) and its flagship product
MetraNet as the billing solution for its Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS)
offerings. Nervogrid will benefit from MetraNet's unique dynamic business
modelling-based building system as it paves the way for their fully-managed,
secure and performance-guaranteed pay-as-you-go IT services, offered to the
education, financial services, legal and manufacturing/logistics industries.
"We need to be able to quickly syndicate a wide variety of IT services
from a diverse set of vendors and provide our clients a high level of
automation in a cost-efficient, pay-as-you-go model," said Aleksi Partanen,
Chief Executive Officer of Nervogrid. "Most of the billing solutions we
looked at are very rigid and don't come close to providing the flexibility
and scalability that our billing platform requires. MetraNet was the only
settlement, customer care and billing system that could map into our SOA
Service Delivery Platform and dynamically deliver the change management
necessary to service our clients both today and over time."
MetraTech's billing software will merge with Nervogrid's DaaS offerings
and allow businesses to focus on their core expertise and use the 'cloud' as
a virtual IT infrastructure. Clients can outsource the management of business
applications, desktop infrastructure services and datacenter services to
Nervogrid. All these IT services are centrally-produced and managed in
Nervogrid's datacenters and delivered to customers over a network. Services
are subscription-based and clients only pay for what they use, whether it is
by the number of users, worksites or gigabytes. Services are fully scalable
from a single user to multi-site environment with hundreds of users.
"It's exciting to see companies like Nervogrid successfully exploit the
power of Cloud Computing," said MetraTech's Scott Swartz, Chief Executive
Officer of the subscription and cloud billing expert. "The unparalleled
flexibility and elasticity of MetraTech's dynamic business modeling approach
is a perfect fit for Nervogrid and other businesses that want to create Cloud
Computing and Software-as-a-Service offerings. We are looking forward to
working with the Nervogrid team to make their innovative DaaS IT services
highly successful."
