Panorama9 Simplifies IT Manager's Lives with Cloud-based Dashboard: US Launch Opens New MarketNew patch management feature further enhances suite of tools that streamlines processes for managing dispersed workforces Panorama9 <www.panorama9.com> announced the U.S. launch of their web-based dashboard that manages IT services for small and mid-sized enterprise (SME) companies. Already popular in Europe, Panorama9 brings IT management to the cloud to help SMEs cut their IT costs, while keeping their networks, services, and devices running at peak performance. Panorama9 takes minutes to install and cuts the time spent on administrative tasks, such as patching, inventory, and distribution, in half. An easy-to-use dashboard offers a comprehensive view for the IT manager, with real-time tracking and alerts on company assets, IT availability, security vulnerabilities, non-compliant systems, and more. In addition, the company launched a new patch management feature to take the complexity out of managing the endless array of critical updates across all the different devices, applications, and operating systems in a business’ IT environment. The new patch management feature tracks and automatically updates vulnerable systems and devices, including workstations and servers that are missing important Microsoft patches or have outdated versions of third party applications such as Mozilla Firefox, Adobe Flash, or Sun Java Runtime. “Increasingly, small to mid-sized companies are turning to the cloud because of ease of use, low cost and extremely fast ROI. Panorama9 has quickly made a name for itself within the IT community in Europe and we’re excited to bring the solution to the US market, where cloud computing and IT management are two of the top 10 priorities for CIOs in 2012, according to Gartner,” said Allan Thorvaldsen, CEO and co-founder of Panorama9. Panorama9 is Thorvaldsen’s third SaaS venture. He previously co-founded SoftScan, a hosted anti-spam and anti-virus email service which became the market leader in Scandinavia and number five worldwide for hosted anti-spam solutions. In 2009, SoftScan was sold to Symantec. Panorama9 is a modern IT tool designed for today’s work style. The intuitive, elegantly designed dashboard offers enormous flexibility, including the ability to monitor and update systems when employees are working remotely. The expandable solution easily integrates with other cloud-based services, as well as with any help desk or CRM system. Panorama9 is a subscription-based service with tiered pricing plans starting at $99/month. New users can sign up for a 30-day free trial and deploy within five minutes. ABOUT PANORAMA9 Panorama9 is a cloud-based, IT management platform bundled into a single dashboard to show you everything about your company’s assets, IT availability, security vulnerabilities, and non-compliant systems. Your organization can cut its IT costs through improved up-time without having an infrastructure to deploy or manage. The Panorama9 system will gather information from two vital sources – through locally installed agents on your computers as well as by external testing completed via Panorama9’s cloud-based system.
