SQS & Enov8 collaborate to help businesses visualise quality on digital transformation

London, 06 April 2018 – SQS, the global leader in accelerating agility and performance through world-class quality, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with Enov8.  Enov8 is a market leader in “Enterprise IT Intelligence”  with a platform that encompasses  IT & Test Environments Management, Holistic Test Data Management and Release Management.With the growing appetite for adopting an Agile and DevOps approach, organisations need to be able to optimise their IT landscape and to “visualise” and manage a continuous quality governance process. This partnership supports effective management of Digital environment availability and configuration which is a key part of the SQS’ Continuous–Q service portfolio, already being adopted by clients.The partnership will leverage Enov8’s leading edge technology and SQS’ deep domain competence and global delivery capabilities to enable organisations to simplify IT operations, resulting in IT cost control, reduced disruption and streamlining of Digital project delivery.Rob McConnell, Global Head of SQS Digital Labs, says “We’re really excited to partner with Enov8. SQS invested a lot of time looking for a partner that would provide the capability to optimise our clients’ end-to-end Test Environment & Release processes. Enov8 is the unquestionable leader in this space and SQS will be using their technology to respond to customers’ Test Environment & Release Management expectations”.  Today, most organizations are managing their complex Non-Production Environments using spreadsheets, emails and other non-fit-for-purpose tools. This leads to manual, inconsistent and error prone operations that cause unwanted disruption, costs and project delays.Niall Crawford, Co-Founder and CTO of Enov8, said, “I am very happy that SQS has selected Enov8 as a strategic partner for delivering IT & Test Environment, Data and Release Management solutions. It is great to have a partner, like SQS, that intrinsically understands the problems that surround IT & Test operations, recognises customer immediate requirements; and understands how a combination of SQS services and Enov8 technologies can minimise the operational challenges a client faces. I am expecting a productive partnership between Enov8 and SQS and anticipate valuable success stories from the customers we engage with.”—————–
