23.02.08 - Avolution signs contract with BT Global Services

Avolution, the market leader in metrics-based analysis of architectures, today announced that it had signed a multi-year contract with British Telecom (BT) Global Services for enterprise architecture related products and services within one of its major programmes.

Under the agreement BT will be using Avolution's ABACUS enterprise modelling solution to not only document the Enterprise Architecture of the programme but to apply the advanced techniques of impact, scenario and trade-off analysis to engineer an optimal solution for conflicting metrics such as performance, reliability, cost and agility.

Mr Mark Mamone (BT Programme Chief Technology Officer) said: "Enterprise Architecture is critical to understanding tremendously complex solutions such as the one BT is delivering in providing critical services to a major UK Government Department.  Furthermore, Enterprise Architecture is an essential component for, amongst other things, managing risk, delivering service excellence and helping to enable innovation. The ABACUS product is essential in supporting our capability in this space and together with Avolution, I believe we are demonstrating an exemplar in how Enterprise Architecture should be done".

"Avolution is delighted to be working with BT on this challenging programme," said Dr Tim O'Neill (European Manager of Avolution).  "The programme involves hundreds of thousands of users, from a multitude of locations, concurrently requiring access to critical business services, from a single converged solution.  With ABACUS and the highly skilled team in BT, this complexity can not only be understood but optimised".

About Avolution
Avolution provides the ABACUS® solution which is unique to the enterprise and process modelling space in that it can create multiple solution alternatives (architectures) and then run various simulations (Discrete Event, Monte Carlo etc) against each alternative for metrics such as Performance, Cost and Availability. In so doing it can recommend the optimal path for investment, with predictive and quantitative certainty. More information is available at www.avolution.eu.

• Build any number of solution alternatives and views all according to a completely flexible meta-model.
• Analyse your architecture(s) for metrics such as; Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), Performance, Availability, Agility and many more.
• View the architecture(s) and the results of any evaluation using advanced techniques such as; 3D, heat maps, capability spaces and trade-off diagrams.
