On the basis of its ASP model, a&o systems + services germany takes over
extensive IT services for newspaper group Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung
(WAZ) and material group Saint Gobain. The manifold requirements of the new
customers apply e.g. to administration and management of heterogeneously
distributed IT inventory, the technical customer service or network
management. a&o systems uses the product suite Valuemation of software
company USU for these modular services in their own data centre in
Frankfurt/Germany. USU standard solutions are employed for IT asset and IT
service management as well as for contracts, software licenses and
procurement. Applications consolidate all commercial and technical
information in a common database in a client-compatible way.

The singular components support ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library), the de
facto standard for structuring all IT operation processes. Additionally,
all other process and role models can be adapted. Thereby the use of
respective IT resources and performances is possible in a flexible and
high-grade standardised manner. Customers benefit from guaranteed service
level agreements and transparent, calculable costs. In the final stage of
expansion, a&o manages 9,000 IT systems at Saint Gobain and 4,000 systems
at WAZ.

For a&o, who traded under the name of EDS GFS until the start of 2007,
Valuemation is the strategic platform for IT lifecycle management.
Competences in business sectors and processes supplement the offered
overall solution as value added service.

USU. The Knowledge Business Company

Under the main idea 'knowledge means business', we have been developing
appliance solutions, aligned for the future, as a software house for more
than 25 years – products and consulting competence, with which our clients
can turn their knowledge into substantial added value.

For example Valuemation. Our clients obtain a broad and complete overview
over their IT processes, IT infrastructure and are able to display their IT
costs transparently, to account and control actively. More than 500 clients
administrate with this product group more than 30 million IT assets.

For example KnowledgeMiner. As an integrated research and navigation system
or portal solution, we activates the complete knowledge of a single
organisation with this technology. Call and service centres solve more than
ten thousand individual problems and request day for day, using the
technology. Departments like quality assurance, production or distribution
fasten their core processes and improve their quality.

The ability to form branch know how, competence of technology and user
demands to a integrated software system, convinces our clients for more
than two decades now. Long lasting partnerships connect USU with leaders of
the market in all areas of the eco¬nomy.
