Testimonials

The InSequence team was onsite providing tier 1 incidence resolution and support, ensuring a successful transition to the new technologies. Overall, the InSequence led effort was delivered five months ahead of schedule, below cost, and with no interruption to NGA’s critical National Security mission. I would highly recommend InSequence to other organizations.

Dr. Robert H. LaurineFormer NGA Chief Information Officer

The pilot showed that we could identify all end of life HW and SW and could project where products would go end of life. It also showed that potentially vulnerable versions could be identified in minutes. The feedback on the pilot was that the data represented a significant step towards understanding the cyber position for each agency.

The joint effort to integrate Flexera and ServiceNow has been completed bringing data from 111 additional data sources and over 65,000 Flexera Agents spanning 48 domains into the CMDB. This integration significantly increases the data available to both the ServiceNow CMDB and to the Flexera FlexNet Management Suite for maintaining CMDB inventory and attribute completeness and managing software license utilization & compliance.

The ability to have relevant data as we worked through the acquisition process was key. Everyone was able to get consistent reporting through dashboards and excel reports to track their status and manage workloads.

Asset ManagerDepartment of Defense Agency

Please express my thanks for a ‘job well done’ during InSequence’s recent visit to upgrade our FlexNet Manager application to the latest version. The upgrade was successful, and completed in half the scheduled time, due largely to InSequence’s excellent planning and preparations. The team was prepared for each issue that they experienced throughout the upgrade, and knew how to guide the fix action to keep the installation progressing with minimal delays. The whole experience was fun to watch.
