DENVER, Sept. 11, 2020 — Spinnaker Support, the top-rated global provider of Oracle and SAP third-party support and managed services, and an emerging provider of Salesforce managed services, today announced first half highlights for the period ending June 30, 2020. The company saw record growth in sales, revenue, new customers added, and customer retention.

"I am extremely proud of our advancement in 2020, which occurred despite unprecedented global economic turbulence," said Matt Stava, CEO of Spinnaker Support. "The third-party Oracle and SAP support market appears to be entering the inflection point forecasted by leading industry analysts – who currently project market growth will triple by 2023. Software publishers are pushing their customers to abandon highly functional on-premise applications for unready cloud replacements. Instead, many organizations are turning to the support alternative we deliver, to retain and optimize what they have for as long as desired."

"At the same time, we launched our SaaS service practice," continues Mr. Stava. "The immediate availability of packaged Salesforce managed services fills a notable market gap. New customer projects are already under way and we are building a robust pipeline of prospects. I am excited about the talent we are attracting to address the massive potential of the Salesforce CRM market."

First Half 2020 Company Highlights

  • Year-over-year revenue growth of 21.3%, and sales bookings growth of 28.7%.
  • 31% of total year-to-date sales bookings came from customers headquartered outside of the United States.
  • Added new Fortune 500 customers globally including organizations headquartered in the United States, Japan, and Scotland.
  • Averaged <5-minute response time for customer issues spanning priority 1 to priority 4.
  • According to the most recent customer satisfaction survey, more than 500 respondents rated our service at a 98.6% satisfaction level – making Spinnaker Support the industry’s highest-rated provider.
  • Year-over-year employee growth of 19.3%, with emphasis on customer service and international expansion. According to Glassdoor, employees rate working at Spinnaker Support a 4.9 out of 5 stars.

Customers Quotes

"Spinnaker Support is 3-4 times better than SAP’s support. We talk to a real person and have a real resolution. It’s like you found the switch to the light in a dark room." Craig McBroom, Business Analyst, BancTec

"We have seen significant cost savings coupled with the reassurance that the quality of support has also improved. We are immensely delighted with the commercial flexibility of Spinnaker Support and their alignment with our six core values." Laura Donald, IT Procurement, Edinburgh Airport

"Spinnaker Support is a partner that is verified and trusted from various angles like Spinnaker Support is important. We are receiving professional support services, cutting costs, and have reallocated human resources. Even in the coronavirus era, we have been able to strengthen our core capabilities and improve our cash position." Hanssem, Korea

Executive Leadership Appointments

In 1H, Spinnaker Support added a record number of new employees, including the appointment of key executives. These include:

  • Chad Stewart as Vice President, Global SaaS Support Services, who is leading all SaaS business development activities, services delivery, and organizational development.
  • Martin Biggs as Vice President and General Manager of the EMEA region.

New Service Offerings

Spinnaker Support continues to add services to meet the immediate and evolving needs of its customers and the market. In March, the company announced the immediate availability of Salesforce® application management and consulting services, the first of several anticipated offerings within the new Software-as-a- Service (SaaS) practice.

In April, the SAP practice updated and launched technical packages for SAP Basis managed services and Business Intelligence managed services.

In February, the JD Edwards practice enhanced its existing managed services with a new, proactive 24/7 monitoring solution.

Awards and Certifications

Spinnaker Support continues to garner awards that recognize the excellence of its technical teams and services. In February, the company was awarded a record five international Stevie Awards including Customer Service Department of the Year, Front-Line Customer Service Team of the Year for the Oracle Support Team, and Innovation in Customer Service for the Global Tax and Regulatory Compliance Team.

Spinnaker Support recertified for ISO 27001 and Privacy Shield UK.

QTS Lauded by Frost & Sullivan for its Best-of-Breed Data Center Facilities Offering Unparalleled Reliability, Resilience, and Operational Visibility

Leave a comment

QTS leverages cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, and predictive analytics to make its data centers smarter

LONDON, Sept. 10, 2020 — Based on its recent analysis of the global data center infrastructure and operations market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes QTS Realty Trust, Inc. with the 2020 Global Visionary Innovation Leadership Award. It leverages a combination of cutting-edge technologies and industry-leading engineering best practices to offer customers both operational excellence and future-proofing. By incorporating long-range, macro-level scenarios into its innovation strategy, it enables first-to-market growth opportunity solutions. QTS expertly addresses the connectivity issues in the market with its network access points (NAPs), which bring unprecedented levels of flexibility, sophistication, enhanced economics, risk mitigation, and a healthy competitive environment.

QTS has created multiple NAPs; which are essentially data centers serving as ubiquitous global interconnection hubs that allow services utilizing subsea cables and terrestrial networks to peer and exchange traffic in an ideal manner. It established its first NAP in Richmond, which opened up access to global markets at extremely low latencies and high capacity levels. It has set up three additional NAPs, including one in Eemshaven, Netherlands, which also serves northern Europe, the Eastern blocks, and the Nordics. The other two NAPs are strategically located in Piscataway, New Jersey and Hillsboro, Oregon. All of QTS’ NAPs are structured uniquely to offer a range of connectivity options such as software-defined networking (SDN) networks, transport networks, Internet exchanges, cloud providers, and subsea cables.

"To move closer to its vision of creating the ultimate data center user experience that would change the landscape of data center infrastructure and operations, QTS started to build a software-defined company internally, with the sole purpose of delivering operational savings and creating newer business innovations," said Gautham Gnanajothi Global Research Director. "It built a fully digitized service delivery platform (SDP) to empower customers to optimally manage their real-time data center environments. The SDP encompasses a suite of 3D visualization tools and digital apps, through which it offers unparalleled visibility and control over critical infrastructure data."

One of the key differentiators of SDP is its ability to provide its customers with easy data access, improved connectivity, and sustainability. One of its exciting functionalities is its ability to accurately forecast power consumption for seven days with less than 1 percent variation. It is also able to use the same neural network to forecast power consumption for 30 days and 60 days with less than 5 percent variation. By deploying VR technologies, it creates innovative virtual collaboration tools and a 3D visualization application that provides an exact replication of a customer’s IT environment in real-time.

"QTS stands out for its commitment to enriching customer value and experience. Its growth strategy involves the cloudification of its initiatives of the past two years and its action plan for the next five years," noted Gnanajothi. "This vision is underpinned by its value differentiators, namely SDP, sustainability, NPS, and connectivity. These value propositions and strong customer focus will ensure QTS’ continued growth in the global data center infrastructure and operations market."

Each year, Frost & Sullivan bestows this award upon the company that demonstrates excellence in growth and customer value. It recognizes the superiority of the product/service as well as the overall customer, purchase, ownership and service experience offered, which has resulted in the recipient company seeing above-market growth and greater share of wallet. The award lauds the growth, diversification and sustainability strategies of the company.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

Hyland Healthcare Commended by Frost & Sullivan for Creating a New Standard in PACS Technology by Expediting Fully Informed Care Decisions

Leave a comment

Leveraging previously unstructured content via integration with EMRs, Hyland delivers a complete patient view for improved clinical decision-making and higher quality care

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 9, 2020 — Based on its recent analysis of the North American enterprise imaging solutions market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Hyland Healthcare with the 2020 North America Product Leadership Award. By overcoming traditional information silos between departments and information formats, the company has set a new standard for managing, viewing, and exchanging both digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) and non-DICOM records as well as data across an enterprise. Its full suite of content services and enterprise imaging solutions brings together structured and unstructured content into a single, comprehensive, and customizable view.

Hyland Healthcare
Hyland Healthcare

Hyland optimizes and streamlines data collection, transfer, and visualization, empowering healthcare enterprises to improve workflows and maximize reimbursements. Its extensive platform enables electronic medical record (EMR) integration of previously siloed information regardless of format, which is an unmatched offering within the industry. The solutions support all modalities for data and image viewing, including two-dimensional and three-dimensional visualization and tools, multi-linear reconstruction, PET-CT fusion, PET-MR fusion, computed tomography, MammoCAD, and structured reports. Furthermore, its products are vendor-neutral, which frees healthcare organizations to choose specific solutions and integrate them with existing systems.

"Hyland’s solutions leverage advanced custom application programming interfaces and context switching, incorporating them as part of an enterprise’s full solution to integrate with other vendor offerings, elegantly bridging the gap between imaging and content," said Dr. Suresh Kuppuswamy, Industry Principal at Frost & Sullivan. "Clinicians can make more informed care decisions as they have access to the patient’s complete medical record. The viewer integrates and displays both content and enterprise imaging information regardless of DICOM and non-DICOM formats within the healthcare organization’s EMR."

The company’s spectrum of solutions includes Acuo, a best-in-class universal archive to meet clinical and diagnostic viewing needs. Acuo creates a new viewing standard due to its unique interoperability, functionality, scalability, technical frameworks, and integration profiles. Meanwhile, the company’s web-based, zero-footprint, FDA-cleared enterprise and diagnostic viewer, NilRead, is built with differentiated and modern architecture for display on any device or browser platform. Other prominent solutions include ImageNext, an enterprise-wide workflow optimization tool, and PACSgear, a suite of enterprise-class connectivity solutions that allow users to capture vital encounter-based images and videos easily as well as documents and integrate them with a PACS or EMR.

"Hyland is currently investing in and working with international partners to develop a digital pathology solution that incorporates its zero-footprint NilRead enterprise and diagnostic viewer and Acuo VNA. Anticipating the future, it also designed its products to be cloud-based," noted Dr. Kuppuswamy. "As a result of its unmatched ability to enable enterprise-wide content viewing, more than 50% of the United States hospital market employs its solutions. The company is all set to expand further in the European Union, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Africa to entrench itself as a global market player."

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that develops a product with innovative features and functionality that is gaining rapid market acceptance. The award recognizes the quality of the solution and the customer value enhancements it enables.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

Leave a comment

– Asia Pacific & Japan set up as an independently-focused geography

– Former SAP APJ COO Phillip Miltiades named SUSE APJ President to drive customer centricity and business growth

SYDNEY, Sept. 9, 2020 — SUSE, the world’s largest independent open source company, has carved out the Asia Pacific Japan (APJ) region and is set to triple its business across the region in next three years. This is following the company’s positive performance in 1H FY2020 which saw an increase of 22 percent in annual contract value (ACV) bookings as compared to the first half of the previous fiscal year. SUSE’s cloud business also saw massive gains of 75 percent in 1H FY2020.

To support this success and reach the next phase of growth, SUSE has appointed Phillip Miltiades as president for APJ. Based in Sydney, Miltiades is responsible for leading and transforming the SUSE organization with laser focus on driving customer and partner business outcomes and success.

"Miltiades’ appointment will extend our capabilities to serve the evolving needs of customers looking to simplify their IT infrastructure, modernize applications and accelerate their business through digital transformation," said Paul Devlin, chief customer officer at SUSE. "His extensive selling and delivery experience with solid, lasting business relationships with customers are going to help us intensify our focus on customer engagement and deliver the values customers are looking for. He is a great addition to our leadership team and will further strengthen our market position as a leading open source software partner for our customers in the region."

"This is a wonderful time for me to join SUSE, and I couldn’t be more thrilled," Miltiades said. "Open source is becoming the backbone for driving digital innovation, according to Gartner*. Increasingly, open source is being adopted for leading edge innovation like mobile, big data, AI and machine learning, and we see great potential for growth across APJ. We provide simplified, innovative and adaptable open source solutions for our customers’ mission-critical business applications to help them achieve the outcomes they desire."

"We will accomplish this by bringing the power of the open source community and credibility of our engineering team to provide highly scalable, secure and high performing solutions that can be deployed anywhere, across any environment and maintained easily on any platform regardless of application or solution deployed. We simply want to be the easiest company to work with by bringing true open source, flexible software technologies with no vendor lock-in to support sustainable and meaningful business outcomes of our customers," Miltiades added.

As part of a phased multi-faceted investment and growth plan, SUSE aims to drive broader and deeper adoption of innovative open source technologies in key verticals including financial services, automotive, public sector, high-tech and manufacturing. SUSE will heavily invest in people to service key focus markets, and further enhance its engineering, services and support presence across the region.

SUSE customers in the region include Air India, JK Tyre & Industries, Mahindra, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Tokyo Institute of Technology, New South Wales Fire Brigades and Swinburne University of Technology.

Miltiades brings over 25 years of experience in enterprise leadership roles. Previously, he was the chief operating officer at SAP Digital Core, where he was responsible for running and growing SAP’s S/4HANA Cloud Technologies business across Asia Pacific & Japan. Prior to SAP, Miltiades also held several management positions in other tech-related companies.
