BBA Aviation's IT planning takes flight with Sumerian's Capacity Planning as a Service

Sumerian, the U.K. headquartered predictive IT capacity analytics provider, has announced that BBA Aviation, the global aviation support and aftermarket services provider, will be implementing its Capacity Planning as a Service (CPaaS) to provide critical IT capacity visibility and insight across its organisation.

BBA Aviation's portfolio of businesses support a broad spectrum of aviation customers in the Business & General Aviation, Commercial and Military markets.

Sumerian's Capacity Planner CPaaS will provide BBA Aviation with the confidence that it has a fully available IT infrastructure at its fingertips, by enabling its IT team to make informed and accurate capacity decisions. The powerful data visualisation and advanced predictive trending will allow BBA Aviation to instantly visualise its capacity position and proactively ensure continually optimized headroom across its estate.

David Stevens, CEO, Sumerian stated: "The importance of having an informed view of your IT estate cannot be stressed enough. By providing the company with data-driven insight, CPaaS will enable BBA Aviation to make informed decisions and stay one step ahead of its competition on service delivery."

With businesses increasingly adopting cloud-based, virtualised IT infrastructure, a company's ability to have a single view across its entire IT estate is becoming ever more important. IT systems distributed over multiple platforms, whether on premise, cloud or virtual, create more complexity in the IT environment, making it challenging for IT managers to stay abreast of their IT estate. Sumerian's CPaaS helps empower businesses moving to the cloud by providing them with this information, as well as scenario-based modelling for informed decision-making around changes to IT infrastructure including consolidation, migration and expansion.
