Rural Sourcing Helps Flexera Seamlessly Integrate Two Applications After a Corporate Acquisition
After acquiring RISC Networks, a cloud migration analytics company, Flexera was looking to integrate RISC’s CloudScape product into the Flexera suite of products. CloudScape gives Flexera’s customers the ability to assess, prioritize, and price which on-premise workloads they should migrate to the Cloud.
Although Flexera wanted to leverage the current RISC IT staff for the integration work, that would leave a gap in support of the CloudScape application. They needed a partner that could maintain the current application, provide new development and enhancements, and handle deployments to AWS. They needed this same partner to be able to quickly handle the knowledge transfer process, so the reliance on RISC’s subject matter experts would be minimal.
