New York, NY – June 1, 2017 – Logicworks, a leading cloud automation and managed services provider, today announced a new set of DevOps tools for running applications on the Amazon Web Services cloud. Based on customer demand, infrastructure-as-code features like scalability, self-healing, and cost management are included in the second generation of the Central Automation Platform. These enhancements are already empowering hundreds of clients who run cloud-based healthcare and financial applications.

“Finding the expertise and time required to keep up with AWS’ pace of innovation is a significant challenge for IT organizations,” said Logicworks’ President and CEO Kenneth Ziegler. “By leveraging Logicworks’ Central Automation Platform, our customers can rapidly and securely benefit from the latest features, improvements and efficiencies.”

Logicworks has deployed hundreds of cloud automation engagements for customers throughout the world, leveraging its automated software platform to make sense of and deliver business benefit from the extraordinary array of public cloud services now available. Maintaining many financial services, healthcare, and commerce customers, the Central Automation Platform rigidly enforces enterprise IT compliance, cost management, and security. Customer engagements typically include upfront assessment of technical, operational, and economic impacts of cloud adoption, and proceed through to fully managed infrastructure and CI/CD integration for automated code deployment pipelines.

Functional innovations include:

Cloud Security and Compliance

• Logicworks has integrated the new service AWS Simple Systems Manager (SSM) into its automation platform, allowing for automated patching workflows, vulnerability scans and secure, auditable execution of changes within the environment.

Smart Environment Scaling

• Logicworks Central Automation Platform can go beyond standard tooling to orchestrate more efficient and reliable scaling events. It can scale down your deployed not-in-use infrastructure as well as perform other requisite tasks such as notifying a user or service, removing the scaled-back components from monitoring, take last minute snapshots so as not to lose work, or simply log the event for historical purposes.

Cloud Assessment and Design

• Using software analysis coupled with expert Solutions Architect reviews, Logicworks produces an architecture design along with remediation recommendations for customer environments. Customers can choose to deploy the design themselves or further engage Logicworks to ensure a scalable secure environment.
