Martello iQ Wins Top Marks in TechGenix Product Review

Microsoft MVP Brien Posey highlights the product’s ability to reduce the complexity of monitoring multiple Azure subscriptions and hybrid cloud resources.

 

Ottawa, Canada (February 22, 2021) Martello Technologies Group Inc., (“Martello” or the “Company”) (TSXV:MTLO), a provider of digital experience monitoring (DEM)solutions, announced today that its iQ softwaresolution has received a 4.5/5 rating in a product review by Microsoft MVP Brien Posey, published on TechGenix. Martello iQ is a digital experience and IT analytics platform that consolidates and analyzes data from multiple monitoring, IT services management and business applications for a more comprehensive view of how critical services and applications, such as Microsoft 365 are performing.

“Rather than simply building a third-party monitoring tool as so many other vendors have done, Martello has created a tool that not only imports the data produced by all of your existing monitoring tools, but performs root cause analysis to increase the availability of critical IT services,” said Brien Posey. “Multitenancy in iQ is especially valuable, allowing IT teams to monitor multi-cloud environments such as multiple Azure subscriptions. Though multitenancy is becoming increasingly common, relatively few IT tools currently support it, so this is an important differentiator for Martello iQ.”

TechGenix, which provides content and reviews to millions of IT professionals globally, published the ‘gold star’ review this month, highlighting the tool’s unique value to enterprise IT professionals. The review cited several factors in determining the Martello iQ product’s score, including the dozens of integrations it supports, ingesting data from all of the disparate tools that an enterprise class organization is likely to be using. The solution’s multitenancy is another critical capability highlighted by Posey, allowing IT teams to monitor multi-cloud environments such as multiple Azure subscriptions. The Martello iQ software’s ability to not only ingest but also perform root cause analysis dramatically reduces the time required to solve problems, by reducing the complexity that is inherent in monitoring hybrid cloud resources. This can help organizations increase the availability of critical IT services.

Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) in the Netherlands uses iQ:“Martello’s solutions have grown with us and helped us manage our multi domain and hybrid cloud environment more effectively,” said Willem Bouwman, IT Specialist, SQL Database and Monitoring Engineer in the Information Technology and Digital Innovation department of Leiden University Medical Center.

Cybersecurity Advice for SMEs Adjusting To The New Norm And Workforce Trends


Nijmegen, The Netherlands | February 8, 2021 --
Modern businesses are adjusting to the rise and advancement of the digital era (and all that comes with it) more and more. In many ways, ensuring the ongoing longevity and success of a business in this modern era is very much intrinsically linked to being willing and able to adapt and realign with the way that the modern world is moving.

Like never before, we have seen a tremendous amount of attention to detail and overall emphasis that is specifically geared towards allowing businesses to enhance and improve from the ground up.

Modern workforce trends are also becoming more enhanced and improved all the time. In fact, the enhancement and improvement of modern businesses is intrinsically linked to the willingness and capability for modern businesses to adapt and overcome challenges, improving significantly in the process.

For many businesses, this is a learning curve that they are still navigating. For small businesses specifically, there is quite a lot to be said about how small businesses can adjust to this new norm and the workforce trends that are coming along with it.

Shifting or expanding online

Some small businesses, believe it or not, still operate largely (if not entirely) on a traditional foundation.

While this is not necessarily a bad thing, we are definitively evolving into the digital era with exceedingly rapid pace. So, adapting to the new norm is crucial. And one of the best ways that small businesses especially can achieve this is to shift or expand their business online.

With more focus on modernisation in the professional landscape, the heightened focus on the online platform is driving businesses to new heights. And small businesses can always utilise that to their advantage.

Prioritising cybersecurity measures

Of course, one of the biggest and most important ways that small businesses can adapt to the new norm and take advantage of workforce trends is to prioritise cybersecurity measures.

Whether it is the full scale use of consumer-focused VPN services or the incorporation of a business-created cybersecurity framework that entirely encapsulates a business’ approach to privacy and security in the digital era and beyond, prioritising cybersecurity measures makes a world of difference in all the right ways.

The more that small businesses focus their energy, money, efforts, and time online, the more important cybersecurity is going to come.

Investing in convenience and efficiency

The digital era has created an inevitable amount of investment and active prioritisation surrounding convenience and efficiency. For small businesses today and in the future and beyond, one of the best ways that they can adapt and thrive in the new norm and prioritise workforce trends now and into the future is to invest in convenience and efficiency.

These are the cornerstones to longevity and success for any business in the digital era and they are even more instrumental for small businesses of all natures, origins, shapes and scales. In many ways, this is expected to be just the tip of the iceberg with the best still yet to come.

Continual and Continuous Monitoring

Cybersecurity is never a one-off affair. It is important to maintain visibility over network endpoints, including employee devices and activities, while respecting their privacy. Apparently, most attacks begin on endpoints used by people—not the firewall or your servers. With the remote work trend, businesses have more endpoints to manage because opportunities for attacks are multiplied.

Endpoint monitoring should be continual (major assessments at regular intervals) and continuous (on-going process). The aim of monitoring details of activities taking place on your network, especially the movement of files is to ensure greater visibility and eliminate blind spots.

Risk Assessment

While transitioning a workspace in line with modern trends, it is crucial to identify the changing nature of risks as well as new loopholes that may have opened up due to such a transition. Therefore, the risk assessment required in this situation would be geared towards analyzing the extent to which business operations rely on certain security functions, as well as the manner in which such functions have become affected due to the transition.

That is basically about answering the questions: what risks were the business exposed to before? And what risks are the business exposed to now? Changes are being effected so rapidly now but security-blind transitions only lead to latter regrets.

Conclusion

No one knows precisely how long the COVID-19 scourge will last. But we know that it has altered the nature of work significantly for years to come. The recommendations above will help SMEs maintain a strong cybersecurity posture amidst the rapid changes taking place.

A summarized checklist for effecting transitions is the following:

* Incorporate privacy and security considerations
* Ensure continuous efficiency (business as usual, or the nearest to it)
* Monitor network activities always
* Evaluate risks and security gaps

Critical Role of SAP S4 HANA in Digital Transformation Industry

SAP has played a critical role in giving dimensions to DT for the energy and power sector, since last 10-12 years. The alpha level analysis of AllTheResearch.com states that 53% of user stories fail while selecting the right tech partner who can help in achieving DT in agile and scientific manner.

“Today, when the entire world is connecting, interacting, and converging through the internet, it is important for all businesses to deploy technology to create better and easy user experiences to harness this scenario. 'Digital transformation' entails 'radical rethinking' and 're-strategizing' concerning deploying technology for usable, accessible experiences and better outreach to a wide base of customers for your product and services. Thus, driving home, the point that how crucial it is to irreversibly transform via use of digital technology in the current business & social scenario.” - As per renowned Digital Transformation (DT) expert.

Request for Market Intelligence report on SAP S4 HANA’s role in digitizing @https://www.alltheresearch.com/speak-to-analyst/428

Key Companies Mapped in SAP S4 HANA:

Technology Enablers (Tentative List)

  • ABB
  • Honeywell
  • Tech Mahindra
  • GE (including subsidiaries)
  • Eaton
  • Accenture
  • Siemens
  • SAP
  • Capgemini
  • Microsoft
  • IBM
  • Cisco

We have seen disruption SAP application has made on legacy business applications of the energy and power sector. In a way it has empowered existing leading businesses by offering a platform and environment which can enhance the business-critical systems. Naturally owing to the dependency of critical system energy and power users are very careful while attempting to change existing production SAP environments, due to possible outages. If we see the evolution curve, SAP has evolved from the original ERP R3 to ECC to S4 HANA. SAP S4 HANA is an in-memory columnar database architecture that is optimized for SAP users/systems. As per leading publisher AllTheResearch.com alpha level finding, in the next 3 years 88% of energy and power companies of the United States will embrace the SAP S4 HANA for below mentioned reasons:

  • Speed – Customized high-performance architecture of S4 HANA which uses SAP-optimized in-memory database model can deliver powerful speed improvements in addition to optimizing memory usage to minimize the amount required.
     
  • Integration of next-gen technologies- Although this pointer depends on the strategic outlook of companies, broadly speaking utilization of deployed IoT infra with Artificial Intelligence is a strategic roadmap of 75% energy and power companies of United States. Processes like Asset Monitoring, Meter to Cash, RPA enabled machine-human engagement and Advanced Metering will be either redesigned or upgraded by considering customer/user as a nucleus.
     
  • Optimized User Experience (UX)- There is a clear gap in the user-friendly interface between a resource who is a master of SAP script and a user who is using SAP for business-critical processes. This gap increases the number of support calls between SAP master and SAP user, which of course not the ideal scenario considering the fast-paced business environment. Now for this point, SAP Fiori delivers HTML5-centric GUI for users, making the SAP interface less complex and much better for the overall customer experience. 
     
  • To embrace the trend of Cloud first-Mobile first and Intelligent Technologies- As per a public document of SAP named as -Upgrading SAP S/4HANA: Why, How, and Best Practices; “SAP S/4HANA was first introduced to the market in 2015 as SAP’s strategic Digital Core solution for the Intelligent Enterprise. It was a bold vision to make a major shift from the very successful SAP Business Suite to a new future-focused solution that took a cloud-first, mobile-first, and intelligent technologies approach to SAP’s comprehensive ERP solutions”.

Believe it or not, the risk of storing sensitive datasets on the cloud and cybersecurity threat is expected to reduce -45% by the next 3 years. This will impact the integration of cloud by energy and power players of the United States. At present, most energy and power players run on-premises today, but the integration of S4 will impact the usage of Cloud technologies.
