Novadigm Customer 7-Eleven Wins InfoWorld 100 Award Radia(R)
Optimizes Uptime of Revenue-Generating Software Services at a
Fraction of the Cost MAHWAH, N.J., Nov. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- Novadigm(R), Inc. , a leading provider of adaptive software
change and configuration management solutions, today announced that
its customer 7-Eleven, Inc. has earned a prestigious InfoWorld 100
award from IDG's InfoWorld magazine. 7-Eleven was honored for its
use of innovative technology to add business value with its Vcom(R)
self-service financial services kiosks. "The InfoWorld 100
recognizes companies like 7-Eleven that made the best use of
technology to enhance their businesses," stated Steve Fox,
editor-in-chief of InfoWorld. "7-Eleven built innovative
self-service financial services kiosks to meet critical technical
and business objectives." Vcom(R) is 7-Eleven, Inc.'s initiative to
provide consumers with a wide choice of self-service financial
services, including check cashing, money transfers, and bill
payment. Vcom -- short for "virtual commerce" -- is technologically
and commercially unique. It uses a purpose-built and highly
adaptable, multimedia kiosk as a proprietary platform for a panoply
of financial and other services, which can be added, changed, and
removed remotely over 7-Eleven's pre-existing store network.
Essential to success of the Vcom concept was finding a
cost-effective means to deploy and maintain software and
multi-media advertising content on the Vcom devices quickly and
reliably. The solution selected was Novadigm's Radia(R) Management
Suite, which automates deployment and ongoing maintenance of
software-based services according to policy, with self-healing
capabilities that ensure systems availability without the high cost
of manual update and repair. Software deployments can be fine-tuned
according to store locations and other business policies, a
critical factor for financial services when operations must vary
according to state regulatory requirements. 7-Eleven also uses the
Novadigm management solution to easily access diagnostic data
(software logs) on the machines. "An important customer touchpoint,
Vcom had to be available 24/7 to assure the program's success,"
said Keith Morrow, 7-Eleven's CIO and vice president of Information
Systems. "7-Eleven leveraged its existing Novadigm solution already
managing our in-store servers, to ensure rapid, reliable software
changes-the life-blood of the innovative Vcom revenue model.
Novadigm's solution fully automates our software management
process. As a result, 7-Eleven optimizes uptime of
revenue-generating Vcom services at a fraction of the cost
typically required to maintain high systems availability." "We
congratulate the 7-Eleven IT team for being honored as an InfoWorld
Top 100 IT Visionary of 2003, and we're proud that our Radia
software management solution plays a key role in this award-winning
implementation," said George Kellar, vice president of marketing
for Novadigm. "Our customers worldwide understand the importance of
managing the software infrastructure to optimize security and
stability of critical systems that support business needs. They are
among the forward-thinking organizations that exemplify the best of
IT today." Novadigm's Radia Management Suite is a comprehensive
software management solution designed to help companies build
adaptive software infrastructures that can respond in real-time to
changing business needs. Unlike traditional software distribution
tools, Radia offers automated change and configuration management
according to policy, and provides continuous self-healing of
managed systems to keep software in its desired state-secure,
stable and up-to-date. The InfoWorld 100 awards are covered in
