AppDynamics Adds Channel Distribution for Government Vertical

AppDynamics has added a channel dimension for its government vertical-focused Application Intelligence Platform.

The analysis engine offers IT operational and business insights into application performance, user experience and mission outcomes. Government software applications typically run in complex, far-reaching IT environments, contain millions of lines of code, and include intra-agency dependencies. Visibility into application performance across these distributed and complex environments — which often include components in local and remote data centers as well as the cloud — is challenging but nonetheless critical.

Authorized channel partners can now use the Promark General Services Administration (GSA) schedule to sell AppDynamics solutions to U.S. federal, state and local government agencies. A first partner is Promark Technology Inc., an Ingram Micro subsidiary and U.S.-focused value-added distributor (VAD).

“With the increased demand for application intelligence, AppDynamics will be a centerpiece for us and our federal partners,” said Todd Hartung, director of GSA sales for Promark Technology. “We are excited about expanding our GSA offerings and making the AppDynamics Products available to our channel partners. Our resellers now have access to an offering that will enable them to provide government buyers with a solution for managing complex software infrastructures and cloud migration.”

“We look forward to building upon this strategic relationship with Promark, as they have a unique understanding of the technology challenges and issues that are most important to federal government buyers,” added Mike Fraga, AppDynamics’ director of federal sales. “The very functioning of the nation — meeting the needs of employees, military, and citizens — depends on applications and infrastructure that perform efficiently day-in and day-out. This is a new opportunity to deploy AppDynamics to help ensure optimal application performance for government agencies.”
