Rackspace teams up with Digivante

Cloudy Rackspace is coupling with Digivante to provide its European customers with AI-based digital performance analysis and continuous website and application testing services.

Rackspace Technology customers across EMEA get Digivante’s expertise and technical capabilities, it’s said, mainly because many businesses rely heavily on digital reliability and app development.

Digivante CEO, Daniel Berry, said: “With little or no automation, traditional manual application testing can be time-consuming, error-prone and difficult to scale, often resulting in either poor quality applications deployed to production or significantly delayed releases. Building automation into your testing and blending it with crowd testing in the right way reduces costs and increases velocity.

“Delays of any kind can be extremely costly. According to IDC, an hour of downtime in enterprise environments can cost between $500K to $1M – so no organisation can afford frequent downtimes in a competitive market. Automating application testing helps maximise efficiency and improves the service our customers can enjoy.”

,Rackspace Chief Relationship Officer, Mahesh Desai, said: “Application testing can be unnecessary stress for businesses that already have a lot of challenges to overcome and are simply trying to deliver on customer expectations. Our joint offering with Digivante is a crucial step towards helping further augment the process for our customers and take the burden off their shoulders.

“App modernisation is a fundamental element of our customers’ ongoing cloud journeys, and this partnership enables us to help them to do so more easily.”
