Singapore, January 22, 2019 – Hitachi Asia Ltd. today announced the launch of its latest integrated systems management suite, JP1 Version 12, which promotes the digital revolution of companies through the optimisation of business processes.

Hitachi offers “JP1 V12”, which strengthens “JP1”, a solution which has clinched top sales in Japan’s domestic operational management software market for 24 consecutive years. Hitachi’s new product, an intelligent integrated management base, “JP1/Integrated Management 2” (hereinafter called, JP1/IM2) visualises the information necessary for decision making by collecting various data from a variety of IT environment / Internet, integrating them, and applying them centrally in real time. JP1 can visualise the data according to the status or official positions.

In addition to the existing on-premise environment, “JP1/IM2” can manage various IT environments from multi-cloud environment to multi-vender systems centrally. “JP1/IM2” can also relate operational data such as configuration information, through data on the Internet, and consolidate them for display on a dashboard. It is possible to relate with the accumulated date specific to each company with the knowledge of engineers. JP1 can visualise the data classified according to its status or official position. Administrators and engineers can manage their IT environment and systems easily, respond briefly to an error and better comprehend the widespread impact on business operations.
