– Our customers demands uninterrupted access to critical data and regardless of whatever happens the company activity must continue. We were recommended op5 Monitor of one of our customers and we decided to leave the system we already had, says Kenneth Karlsson, responsible for IT at SunGard in Sweden. The old system was dependent of one platform and we choosed op5 Monitor which is based on Open Source instead. Now we have better functionality and it is easier to configure and support the maintainance. You can even say that we now sleep better at night because we know and rely on Monitor to give us alarms if it is necessary, Kenneth tells.
Uniterrupted access to critical information means that, regardless of whatever happens, you can continue to perform your business. SunGard offers a multitude of services that includes business availability, information security and technology solutions.

An important aspect is to handle a broad technical perspective. SunGard customers have many different solutions for their specific systems. The system overview must take care of this in a easy way so that services and applications can be overviewed in an affective way. op5 Monitor has that capability through the open source interface.
op5 Products is developed from an amount of projects from the Open Source world. Through an userfriendly interface, technical basic functions and a comprehensive support including new releases, the company delivers a complete system that competes with the ordinary “closed systems”. The customer has access to the source code and is free to add or modify functions for his own company without special tools or special consultant time.
