ChangeBASE AOK and CSS Announce Global Partnership

14th December 2009

ChangeBASE AOK the world leader in automated application compatibility testing and remediation, today announces the signing of a global partnership agreement with CSS Corp, a global technology solutions provider to enterprises, consumers and technology companies.

As part of the deal, CSS is standardising its service on the ChangeBASE AOK platform, enabling the company to easily identify and automatically fix any application compatibility issues that its customers face during software installation or migration projects.

This integration has now been completed and CSS has rolled out this new service offering to each of its 10 offices across the globe.

'CSS is committed to offering our customers the optimum solutions for aligning IT to business objectives at all times,' says Ahmar Abbas, Senior Vice President of CSS Managed Infrastructure Services. 'The launch of Windows 7 has seen a surge for large-scale migration projects and it is critical that any application compatibility issues are dealt with quickly and effectively. Whereas its competitors are only able to identify application compatibility issues, ChangeBASE AOK is able to automatically fix the vast majority of problems that it identifies. This market-leading proposition matches CSS’ own ambitions and is a natural fit with our business strategy. Through our work with ChangeBASE AOK, we can now ensure that multinational corporations, mid-sized companies and public sector bodies can undertake migration projects, such as the move to Windows 7, safe in the knowledge that application compatibility issues will be addressed quickly and cost effectively.'

'We are delighted that CSS has selected AOK as its global tool of choice to report on and resolve application compatibility issues,' says John Tate, Managing Director, ChangeBASE AOK. 'The recent launch of Windows 7 has once again brought application compatibility to the fore and we have experienced substantial interest from organisations wanting to sort out application compatibility issues quickly and cheaply. CSS has a strong track record in desktop migrations and its global reach puts the company in a great position to offer AOK as part of its service to clients.'
