SUPPORT PROGRAMS
Enterprise monitoring solutions rarely consist of one software application operating in isolation. In most cases the solution consists of a number of integrated applications working together. This presents a number of challenges to organisations deploying such solutions: Complex applications requiring highly specific skill sets; Complex integrations between multiple software vendors products; Vendor support limitations when dealing with integration issues. Kalibres Solution Support Programs address these challenges by providing a holistic support, maintenance and ongoing development program for HP Software monitoring solutions. Going beyond the normal break/fix software support model, the Programs deliver tangible business benefits by ensuring that the monitoring solution is not only well maintained, but also continuously developed to meet changing business needs.

PRODUCT UPGRADES
One of the challenges organisations face with monitoring systems is keeping up to date with new software releases for the deployed applications. Kalibre can assist by providing an analysis of the possible upgrade paths and advising on the best way forward. We can also assist with the upgrade process, providing detailed implementation plans, and performing the upgrades with minimal downtime.
