GROUPE OPEN : Open becomes a Platinum Partner of HP Software in France

Open becomes a Platinum Partner of HP Software in France

Paris, 30th April 2014- After several years of fruitful collaboration with HP Software, leading French Digital Services experts Groupe Open recently became a HP Platinum Partner, the highest level of partnership awarded by the software giant.

Having worked with HP Software since 2005, particularly on testing, Open has developed a comprehensive mastery of HP tools covering everything from upstream consultation to operational roll-out. This expertise also extends to application life cycle management solutions: functional testing and automation, performance testing, mobile testing and intelligent test stub management.
Open has also developed a range of cloud services and solutions based on the automation, orchestration and service portal functionalities offered by HP Software (specifically HP Operations Orchestration, Server Automation and Cloud Service Automation).
Open is thus in a position to offer its customers a comprehensive service covering the entire
'DevOps' value chain, which also incorporates solutions to the specific demands of mobile applications!

"Gaining Platinum status gives Open privileged access to the full range of HP Software resources, allowing us to offer our clients the most efficient solutions possible: training programmes, employee certifications, access to pre-sales, support and HP labs," explains Stéphanie Meissonnier, Open's Head of Partnerships. "Platinum status also entitles us to special conditions for these services, not to mention the opportunity to create joint development operations, which we are very excited about."

The partnership between Open and HP continues to go from strength to strength, and on March 24th this year the Groupe Open received the award for the partner with the fastest rate of growth (+300%) in the EMEA region for the HP Software range. The award was presented at the HP Global Partner Conference in Las Vegas.
