Third Sky and PMG Speed Time-to-Value and Alleviate Risk With Service Catalog Quick Start Program

New Offering Includes Modeling Workshop, Mentoring and Usage of PMG Service Catalog Suite

ATLANTA, Aug. 24 -- Leading full service IT Service Management (ITSM) solutions provider Third Sky, Inc., and PMG.net Inc., the technology leader for enterprise service catalogs, today announced availability of a joint Service Catalog Quick Start Program. This new offering combines Third Sky's acclaimed Service Catalog workshop and consulting with usage of PMG Service Catalog Suite (PMG SCS) software, empowering companies to quickly define and deploy their first online and fully actionable service catalog.

"By combining Third Sky's Service Catalog expertise with PMG's market leading software, IT teams can quickly complete the definition of services in their Service Catalog and publish it for draft review," said Lou Hunnebeck, Vice President of ITSM Vision & Strategy for Third Sky. "This allows the momentum from the modeling workshop to carry forward to drive rapid completion of an organization's service catalog," Hunnebeck continued.

The Service Catalog Quick Start program provides a proven, facilitated approach to developing a Service Catalog that helps organizations leverage ITIL best practices to realize the following benefits:

  --  Begin the cultural shift from a system-oriented perspective to a
      service-oriented perspective
  --  Create a foundation and framework for improving the processes that
      govern the design, transition, and operation of shared services
  --  Quickly and easily define services and present them in a professional
      manner using PMG's user-friendly, web-based system
  --  Deploy an actionable Service Catalog, available for immediate usage
      within the enterprise.

"Companies can leverage the ease of configuring PMG's Service Catalog Suite along with Third Sky's mentoring as a low cost option for quickly automating labor intensive processes and reducing cycle time by 50-80%," concluded Joe LeCompte, PMG principal.

PMG offers the most comprehensive, yet flexible and easy to use multi-lingual service catalog & request management solution available. PMG SCS includes more than 1,000 templates, providing best-practices based formatting, attributes, descriptions, and graphics, further accelerating the creation of any organization's service catalog.

PMG SCS leverages deep experience in e-Commerce, portal deployment and collaboration. This solution is the combination of:

  --  PMG iRequest: an e-Commerce online catalog and request system
  --  PMG iDeliver: a BPM suite providing powerful EAI and workflow
