I’m glad to announce the following news! Onrego Ltd has been approved to Microsoft System Center Alliance, a global ecosystem of companies that work very close with Microsoft System Center and build solutions for System Center products. Onrego’s Online System Center, a cloud based System Center service is also the first member of Microsoft System Center Alliance from Finland.
Onrego and Online System Center has a solution page that describes what Onrego is and what Online System Center is all about. Here is a nice screenshot of the page:
So far we have launched web browser based portal to master the Online System Center and multitenant System Center Configuration Manager 2012 for MSP’s. Pretty soon we are about to launch couple of new great features to our service.

Multitenant System Center Configuration Manager 2012:
A month ago Onrego launched its first cloud service, Online System Center. Back then I posted about the launch of Online System Center and as a post-speech I wrote that Online System Center is not going to be the only cloud service Onrego is going to develop and produce. Let’s dive a little deeper into that subject.
We have had over 150 meetings with clients and partners since August 2012 and with the information gathered from the clients, we have drawn a clear picture of what kind of cloud services should be available next. But before diving deeper into the upcoming Onrego cloud services, let’s put together a few (mega)trends we have been seen so far. First, Microsoft System Center is the systems management solution corporations are going to implement. There is no question about that. Direct quote from one meeting: “we are not going to look any other management solution than Microsoft System Center”. Second, large corporations want to have scalability and flexibly especially to pricing models. They want to buy services as “pay-as-you-go” model with monthly fees. Third, within the next two years we are seeing that the most of the workload in companies’ datacenters have moved to hosters and IaaS service providers, but only to hosters with scalable pricing model. Fourth, many companies want to implement System Center Service Manager as the service desk tool and forget their service providers’ tools. Needless to say that Onrego Online System Center hits the spot for the most of these (mega)trends.
But now, let’s roll a little deeper into Onrego‘s future. Onrego‘s vision is to develop and produce cloud services that (1) allows our clients to get rid of their own datacenters and local area networks, (2) allows our clients to translate their current IT infrastructure into scalable and flexible one, and (3) allows our clients to have the very best IT infrastructure solutions with instantly ready use, with no upfront investments and with monthly billing. In other words, we produce IT Infrastructure as a Service. This includes services such as VDI as a Service, Active Directory as a Service, Datacenter Management as a Service, Top Level Experts as a Service, Cloud Orchestration as a Service, and so on. We started with Management as a Service (Online System Center) since being able to manage and monitor devices and servers is one of the core features of healthy IT infrastructure. Please see the following diagram of what Onrego‘s future is about to be.
We have also been building an ecosystem for Online System Center and later for Onrego online services and at the moment; our ecosystem consists of half of dozen well selected partners who are working with us and with our clients to make future be available today.
For partners and resellers who wish to be part of this journey I welcome you to contact us and arrange a meeting with us.
For organizations who are interested about these kinds of services I encourage you to ask us for a visit so that we can discuss together how our services would benefit your business.
I predict that the year 2013 will be very interesting! We will be seeing lots of companies starting to move their IT infrastructure services into cloud and lots of new service implementations that are cloud based. Whilst cloud based IT infrastructure will not be future anymore in year 2013, I predict we are also seeing hybrid solutions as well.
Today is the day! We have been working our asses off for the last three months and now our first cloud service is seeing the day light. Today we have launched Onrego’s Online System Center. System Center as a Service, Systems Management as a Service and Management as a Service. Let’s take a closer look!
We are very proud to present our first cloud service Online System Center. Online System Center is cloud based systems management service for managing workstations, servers and mobile devices, monitoring server, services and network devices as well as for running service desk. Online System Center is based on Microsoft System Center 2012 and run from Onrego’s cloud. The benefits for clients and partners are enormous! Microsoft System Center 2012 solutions are instantly ready to use without any upfront investments and invoicing is based on actual usage. Plus the solutions are configured already based on the best practices. Online System Center is the killer cloud service at the moment.
We have two websites for Online System Center: one in Finnish and another one in English. The address for the Finnish version is www.onlinesystemcenter.fi and English version can be found from www.onlinesystemcenter.com.
Since you can find more details about Online System Center from the websites, I’m not going to go any further with the details in this space. Rather than that, I want to share to you a few things our team at Onrego has done.
Three months ago we started only with a killer idea of building our own cloud service of Microsoft System Center. Since August 2012 we have had 150 meetings with clients and partners, we have built the first version of Online System Center, the first customers are already using the service and we have run a marketing campaign including teaser videos, websites, social media activities, press releases and upcoming advertisements. It’s been quite hectic time but we have loved every minute of it.
Our website www.onrego.com (www.onrego.fi in Finnish) had a timer of Online System Center launch. The launch took place on November 1st 2012 11 AM.
We produced three teasers which we uploaded to Youtube to give an idea of what we are doing and what benefits could Online System Center have.
Here are the teasers:
Teaser #1 “Amazing Things Happen On November 1st 2012”
Teaser #2 “Things Are About To Change On November 1st 2012”
Teaser #3 “The World We Are Living In On November 1st 2012”
We also produced two more videos of Online System Center and its features prior to the launch and upcoming sales and marketing activities.
