COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cherwell Software, LLC, (“Cherwell”) a global leader in service management, announced that its Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) solution Cherwell® Service Management is now available on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to deliver unified services and management for hybrid cloud environments. Today’s announcement is the first step in a broader collaboration between the companies to bring more efficient management of cloud environments to their shared customers’ service management environments, and, in several months, to expand access to Cherwell’s leading ITSM solution on AWS Marketplace.
“As enterprises continue to deepen their connections in the cloud, we aim to work with leaders in the space to continue to facilitate service management holistically – and that means anywhere they host infrastructure and data,” said Sam Gilliland, chief executive officer of Cherwell. “Availability on AWS is an important part of today’s launch, making it easier for us to enable current customers to integrate cloud management seamlessly, and, in the near future – to offer simple access to Cherwell as a SaaS solution directly from the AWS Marketplace.”
