Paessler Headquarter, Nuremberg
Paessler AG, a leading provider of IT, OT, and IoT monitoring solutions based in Nuremberg, Germany, announces the successful
acquisition of ITPS Group, with subsidiaries in Switzerland, the Czech Republic, and Romania as well as business
activities in India. This strategic development comes in the run-up to IT-SA 2023 and marks another step in Paessler's
ambition to offer its customers a diversified range of individual features for any infrastructure and monitoring
objective.
ITPS, known for its software products under the name CORP-IT, has established itself in the IT industry through
innovative solutions. Based in Frauenfeld, Switzerland, the company was founded by Thomas Wächter, an entrepreneur from
Baden, Germany. Prior to this strategic development, ITPS was a valued Paessler Alliance Partner & Paessler Gold Partner for many years.
Three of the central solutions of ITPS, which are now being further developed and marketed under the Paessler umbrella
brand under new product names, are:PRTG SLA Reporter: Improved reporting capabilities for service level agreements (SLA), based on historical status data, characterise this
extension for PRTG. Customers benefit from the creation of granular SLA reports that can show uptime/downtime values as
well as root causes for outages. Data is stored in an MS SQL database, which facilitates integration with third-party
tools. Stakeholders can be easily and efficiently informed about SLA compliance. This makes PRTG SLA Reporter the ideal
tool to extend the included PRTG reporting features or to meet specific SLA reporting requirements.PRTG Data Exporter: This extension is a desktop application that lets you work even better with metric monitoring data from PRTG and
integrate it into a database management system. Customers can combine data from multiple PRTG servers into one database
and make this data accessible to external tools (directly through the database without an API). It supports MS SQL and
MySQL and enables integration with tools such as Microsoft Power BI or Grafana. PRTG Data Exporter is the ideal
complement for all users who want to connect their own analysis tools or who want to generate reports with their own
reporting tools.PRTG Database Observer: This product extension adds new database types, such as SAP HANA and IBM DB2, to the database monitoring capabilities
of PRTG. It enables detailed monitoring of additional relational database systems and provides predefined SQL queries
from database experts. Users can easily manage queries and test them in a dedicated Windows application. Monitoring
critical database metrics helps ensure optimal performance and user experience at all times. PRTG Database Observer is
the ideal tool to keep an eye on values that are critical for business-relevant processes.Helmut Binder, CEO of Paessler AG
"Our collaboration with Paessler has always been characterised by mutual trust and innovation," said Thomas Wächter,
founder of ITPS AG. "With this acquisition, we are looking confidently to a future in which we can jointly offer our
customers even greater added value. It is a significant step that combines the strengths of both companies and
concretises our vision for the future of monitoring."
Starting in the fourth quarter of 2023, ITPS products will be sold under the Paessler brand, further diversifying
Paessler's product portfolio of IT, OT, and IoT monitoring solutions.
"By integrating ITPS' advanced product enhancements and innovative technologies into our direct product portfolio, we
can offer our customers an even more comprehensive network monitoring solution," announced Helmut Binder, CEO of
Paessler AG. "This step illustrates our commitment to being at the forefront of technological developments and to
continuously increase the added value for our customers."
