Amartus partners with ServiceNow to offer industry standard inter-party automation process and APIs
Amartus has partnered with ServiceNow to offer Enterprises and Service Providers a combined solution for rapid implementation of MEF LSO (Life-cycle Service Orchestration) industry standard processes and APIs to automate trading & operation of services that underpin todays Enterprise Network & IT environments.
Enterprise Networking and IT environments are undergoing radical transformation driven by the need to connect their increasingly global and mobile employee, customer & partner base to business applications running in geographically distributed cloud locations.
No single service provider offers the range and reach of services involved; they must partner with others. The resulting Network & IT environment is truly multi-provider, where the services of each partner provider run in their own network/infrastructure, and they meet in globally distributed co-location sites.
The only way to manage such a Network & IT environment is for the providers to adopt a common set of automated business processes and APIs for trading and operating those services. The MEF LSO standards were specifically designed for this purpose and have / are being adopted by leading service providers worldwide.
Under the partnership, Amartus and ServiceNow will offer Network & IT Service Providers and Enterprises a joint solution for rapid implementation of industry standard inter-party process and APIs whereby Amartus’ nBrace Inter-provider Automation solution will be pre-integrated with ServiceNow’s best in breed business and operational solutions, starting with Order Management and extending to Trouble Ticketing and other solutions over time.
“Amartus nBrace Inter-provider Automation perfectly complements ServiceNow, by enabling plug-n-play, API driven inter-operability between service providers as well as between enterprises and service providers. Use of standard, automated processes and APIs are a must-have to be able to manage today’s multi-provider Enterprise Network & IT environments,” says Michael Kearns Chief Strategy Officer at Amartus. “By working in partnership with ServiceNow, we make it easier for Enterprises and Service Providers to implement the standards.
