Since we started Opstera, we have had the opportunity to partner with a number of great companies and engage with numerous Enterprise customers. It was always our belief that the Enterprise segment is primed to grow and at the same time, they have embraced new SaaS based services for Operations needs.

While all that is interesting, selling into this market segment was challenging and we were fortunate to have partnerships with Microsoft and vendors. One unmistakable characteristic that we noticed was how System integrators have increasingly taken over Ops in Enterprises and in many cases were pseudo decision makers on software affecting Operations.

Today, we are announcing that Avanade has acquired Opstera software to augment its managed services portfolio. This is an exciting move for us, because it allows us to build on the foundation we had laid out in building and managing hundreds of customers. Additionally, along with the recent acquisition of Azaleos, Avanade has bolstered its product portfolio of providing managed services for applications deployed into public, private or hybrid environment.

This brings our Opstera journey to a fantastic culmination and over the coming months we are looking forward to rationalizing how we offer the AzureOps service and explore the possibilities of combining that with other exciting technologies. This is great news for customers, product, and team.
