Under the agreement, Fintecs and SAMpartners will work together to provide visual documentation of software asset management projects for a wide range of clients in the UK. Fintecs managing director Tony Gratton says,
The techniques we have developed for the visual mapping of complex IT processes are a perfect fit with the compliance consultancy projects that SAMpartners carry out on behalf of large UK corporations in software asset management. Although developed originally for the complex IT systems found in financial institutions, our visual mapping techniques are finding application in many other industries and types of business.
SAMpartners chief executive Tony Fisher says,
It’s not often that old IT hands like me get excited about software but the visual mapping approach that Fintecs has developed is truly original. Typically, the results of any IT project are documented and presented to the client in a primarily text-based form. Fintecs has developed a novel way to show the same
information in a way that is truly informative. It is quite astounding how vast amounts of data can be presented in an simple, easy-to-absorb form – it’s something you have to see to fully appreciate.
Now we can offer our clients the option of having their systems documented in a way that is genuinely useful to them as a management tool. We are already talking with a number of major clients about using visual documentation and they are also excited by the possibilities. I have no doubt that visual mapping is going to be the IT documentation technology of the future.
Fintecs Tony Gratton says,
Our alliance with SAMpartners is the first of what we believe will be many such co-operative ventures. After the key field of software asset management, there are many more important areas of IT in which visual documentation can make an innovative contribution and we expect to announce further alliance with channel partners in the near future.
