Strategic Alliance for Transforming Operational Technology

ANTHOSA CONSULTING Announce a Strategic Alliance with CENTREON and ZEDEDA to Accelerate Innovation at the Edge across Asia, Australia and New Zealand

The partnership will digitally transform operational technology (OT) through complementary Human-Centered Strategy, Observability, and Edge Orchestration capabilities.

Melbourne, Australia—July 25, 2024 – ANTHOSA CONSULTING, a dynamic and forward-thinking boutique strategy consulting firm; CENTREON, the leader in digital performance monitoring; and ZEDEDA, the leader in edge management and orchestration, are joining forces to accelerate Innovation at the Edge for transforming operational technology (OT) across Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

This powerful alliance will deliver complete visibility into IT and OT assets, securely orchestrate distributed workloads, and effectively manage edge deployments in complex engineering operations. It will streamline the implementation of critical technologies that drive real business value, like AI on edge, while proactively addressing challenges of edge environments like poor security, low bandwidth, and intermittent connectivity.

Engaging customers to co-design the strategy is crucial for gaining stakeholder support, and is essential for long-term transformation efforts. When we collaborate with stakeholders, we let them take ownership of the strategy, enabling them to drive operational efficiency and improve customer experience.

Anthosa’s unique service engagement pattern in scaling transformations has significantly improved operational efficiency and customer engagement for many businesses. We have a success rate of over 75% of customers achieving transformation goals, with over 60% sustaining these performances beyond three years. This outperforms industry averages of 56% and 12% for achieving and sustaining these goals, respectively (according to McKinsey).

Chamara Somaratne, Founder of Anthosa and a Digital Transformation Leader with over 25 years of experience, expressed excitement about the partnership: “It brings complementary capabilities for driving IT/OT transformations. I am thrilled about enabling ‘intelligence on edge’ to realise the benefits of AI/ML for optimising operations and improving services.”

“This partnership will enable customers to jump-start their edge deployments, making it easier for them to take advantage of technologies like AI/ML and quickly see real business impact,” said Michael Maxey, Vice President of Technical Business Development at ZEDEDA.

“Through this partnership, we’re easing the complexities of deploying edge solutions by offering complete services from conceptualization to implementation of a future-proofed hybrid infrastructure,” said Marc-Antoine Hostier, Centreon’s Chief Operating Officer.

The 2024 Gartner CIO and Technology Executive Survey found that 94% of Australian and New Zealand CIOs and technology executives planned to implement AI and machine learning over the next two years, and 78% expected to increase their investment in business intelligence and data analytics this year. This alliance will be well-placed to support this.
