NAPLES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ASG Software Solutions (ASG), a recognized innovator in enterprise IT software solutions and cloud computing, has been selected by Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) as the vendor with the “Best SaaS Solution” in the industry.

“In a very short time, we have enhanced our Cloud solution to provide the full stack of a Cloud Management Platform, including Datacenter Automation, Workspace Aggregation, Self-Service Catalog and Cloud Platform Management.”

With cloud computing becoming more prevalent in IT, large enterprises are actively searching for a cloud solution that solves business needs. Businesses want more agility and flexibility, simplified IT service delivery, better performance and security and a higher return on their IT investments.

“We believe that a successful cloud computing strategy is one that simplifies and automates IT service delivery. With cloud computing IT needs to become easier and faster to manage while providing best user experience,” said Arthur Allen, CEO of ASG Software Solutions. “ASG will continue to strive for innovative technology and leadership in cloud computing all over the world. I am extremely pleased that EMA recognizes the latest release of ASG CloudFactory as Best SaaS Solution.”

In EMA´s Cloud Radar report analyst Torsten Volk summarizes the benefits of ASG´s CloudFactory: “ASG’s grand vision of cloud, where each enterprise application is virtualized and managed centrally constitutes a paradigm shift for most customers. The ASG approach aims at helping customers receive the most value out of existing IT investments, by automating and orchestrating current and future applications and services along the lines of business requirements. These applications and services are then aggregated and centrally delivered through a self-service portal. EMA applauds this strong vision, which goes in line with today’s much discussed concept of the Software Defined Datacenter. Of all Cloud Management Solutions that we have reviewed during this Radar, ASG CloudFactory constitutes the strongest solution industry wide in terms of ‘cloud delivery’."

ASG CloudFactory helps:

• Enterprise customers take advantage of IT automation by effectively integrating and automating existing applications through private and hybrid clouds to increase agility, user experience, compliance and cost efficiency;
• IT organizations become more agile while reducing operating expenses;
• Telecommunications companies and other service providers create their own public cloud offering to increase value, add customer loyalty, and grow average revenue per user with cloud services.

"We are really proud to have led CloudFactory to be a truly unique solution in the industry,” says Pascal Vitoux, Senior Vice President of Development. “In a very short time, we have enhanced our Cloud solution to provide the full stack of a Cloud Management Platform, including Datacenter Automation, Workspace Aggregation, Self-Service Catalog and Cloud Platform Management."

EMA’s “Best Saas Solution” award is ASG CloudFactory’s second award. In September of 2012, ASG CloudFactory received KMWorld’s prestigious Trend-setting Product Award.
