Montréal (Québec), Canada – October 7th, 2005 – DMR Consulting, a division of Fujitsu Consulting, and N(i)², a software development company specialized in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) management solutions, announced today their partnership for the distribution of ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library) compliant solutions enabling organizations to better align their IT service operations with corporate business objectives.

The N(i)² Solution is a modular and scalable solution that offers businesses absolute visibility on their IT, network, and supporting infrastructure resources, as well as on their associations. The N(i)² Solution offers IT and network professionals relevant, accurate, even spatial information regarding their inventory, enhancing customer service while maximizing the return on investment of their assets.

This end-to-end visibility is provided by an Inventory module combined with a Configuration Management module (CMDB) that together optimize IT and network resources management by streamlining wide array of information via a federated data model. Whether data is provided entirely by The N(i)² Solution™, or in collaboration with leading 3rd party IT management solutions, the CMDB serves as the foundation of a series of ITIL compliant modules that enable organizations to automate, standardize, reinforce, and document best management practices.

« IT is directly linked to companies’ business models and in return represents a significant portion of their operational budgets. IT organizations are constantly feeling the pressure of ensuring reliability at lower cost. This results in great management challenges for which ITIL proposes validated processes », says Pierre Hamel, Senior Vice-President, Practice - DMR Consulting. « ITIL has been adopted in Europe and has been quickly gaining popularity in North America over the last year. The N(i)² Solution’s modularity allows businesses to efficiently implement these processes within their working environment, while quickly benefiting from increased productivity and financial returns », adds Hamel.

« DMR Consulting maintained leadership with its technological vision and quality services for over 30 years », says Joseph Hatchuel, President and CEO of N(i)². « Its commitment to offering the best ITIL expertise demonstrates once again its ability to integrate new management processes in its service offering.
