A cost-effective, multi-tenant, IT Management-as-a-Service solution, CA Nimsoft combines industry-leading monitoring and ITIL®-based service management. The unified solution provides Xigent Solutions the visibility necessary to help keep customers’ critical systems and applications up and running.

Xigent Solutions evaluated several products and selected CA Nimsoft for its breadth of capabilities, including its ability to scale and its ease of management. With CA Nimsoft, Xigent Solutions can be much more proactive in improving operational efficiency and improving customer satisfaction.  This saves Xigent Solutions time and resources, while enabling them to build a trusted relationship with the customers they serve.

“Most of our customers are small- to medium-sized businesses that are looking to us to manage their IT infrastructures,” said Chuck Ballard, director of Managed Services at Xigent Solutions. “CA Nimsoft provides us the insight we need to become a stronger trusted advisor to our customers. This helps to boost our value proposition to customers and delivers even more excitement around our services.”

With automated alerts, CA Nimsoft enables Xigent Solutions to continuously improve their services. In some cases, they’ve been able to help customers save significant IT investments, simply by keeping track of where infrastructure resources are being used. For example, one Xigent Solutions customer was running out of disk space on their storage infrastructure and was about to spend significant budget to expand resources. Xigent Solutions evaluated the situation and discovered another solution.

“CA Nimsoft alerted us that the customer’s storage was filling up and we were able to identify that it simply wasn’t provisioned correctly,” said Ballard. “As a result, we were able to recover about 500 GB of space which helped the customer avoid a $50,000 investment in new equipment that they didn’t need.”

“CA Nimsoft is ideal for managed service providers like Xigent Solutions, who have to efficiently support large numbers of customers with dissimilar IT environments,” said Nick Ellis, senior vice president, CA Technologies. “Our licensing model is especially attractive to MSPs, since it allows them to keep their costs continuously aligned with their revenue streams—allowing them to be exceptionally effective and appropriately profitable.”
