SAManage, a leading provider of SaaS (News - Alert)-based IT management software, has recently announced the launch of its latest SaaS based IT management solutions with Winvale for the US public sector. The partnership will enable SAManage to make its products available to federal, state, and local government agencies as well as the US public sector. These sectors will now have access to SAManage’s cutting-edge IT Asset Management (ITAM) and IT Service Management (ITSM) solutions on Winvale’s GSA (News - Alert) Information Technology Schedule GS-35F-0074S and on apps.gov, the GSA source for cloud computing applications.

In a release, Darroll Buytenhuys, president of SAManage said that, “At SAManage, we’re excited to offer governmental agencies a SaaS-based IT management solution that dovetails perfectly with the administration’s cloud-first strategy. Through the new alliance with Winvale, public sector users can now leverage all the power of enterprise-grade ITAM/ITSM while breaking the vicious hardware/software upgrade cycle that plagues on-premise IT asset and service management solutions. Since SAManage is delivered entirely via the cloud, users can manage their IT assets and services from any Internet-connected device. SAManage reduces total cost of ownership, but it also provides better management in the bargain, helping users to easily and quickly organize software licenses and contracts, check for compliance gaps, and manage their service desks, equipment, and other facets of IT operations wherever those users are physically located.”

Federal agencies and the United States public sector will have access to the industry leading SaaS ITAM and ITSM Solutions through Winvale’s GSA Schedule Contract. Vivek Kundra, a representative of the White House CIO, has taken interest in SAManage’s offerings and has opted for more and more governmental IT to the cloud. About one fourth of the federal government’s $80 billion dollar per year IT budget can now be moved into the cloud, benefitting the federal agencies through gains in robustness, flexibility, and cost savings.

Kevin Lancaster, managing partner at Winvale, added that, “Available on Apps.gov in addition to Winvale’s GSA Information Technology Schedule GS-35F-0074S, SAManage can be deployed in days, not months, and frequent feature upgrades are immediately accessible to every user. The introduction of the SAManage solutions to the federal sector is very timely, given the aggressive move of the Obama administration to cloud computing and specifically to Software as a Service. The rapid deployment and substantial total cost of ownership advantages will make SAManage an attractive alternative for federal, state and local entities."
