Centreon and ITConcepts PSO GmbH, an European IT service provider and agnostic system integrator specializing in the implementation of solutions that automate and improve business processes, are teaming up to help organizations increase operational efficiency by delivering the IT services that connect people, processes, and technology to deliver more business value.
“Through this partnership, we are reinforcing our presence in Germany and supporting ITConcepts as it delivers the crucial observability tools for operational excellence,” said Marc-Antoine Hostier, Chief Operating Officer at Centreon.
ITConcepts serves market leaders from the insurance, finance, and manufacturing sectors, among others, which are undergoing acute digital transformation. “ITConcepts’s consultants have decades of experience in implementing IT service management solutions, including infrastructure monitoring, service modeling and more. As the transition from on-premise to the cloud is well underway, we were searching for an IT monitoring solution that could bridge the gap, seamlessly integrate within the ITOps stack, and support our clients far into their digital future,” explains Marcus Westen, Managing Director, ITConcepts. “Centreon best matches those needs and brings the confidence that client projects will be successful.”
ITConcepts’s approach is all about aligning IT processes on best practices, helping clients select and implement the right software solution based on the most rigorous requirements. “The IT monitoring market has changed over the last few years. Retaining a solution that is fully focused on monitoring complex IT infrastructure can be a real struggle. Legacy vendors are no longer delivering the goods as they have built adjacent capabilities into their products, such as ITSM, often to the detriment of core IT infrastructure monitoring capabilities,” explains Thomas Krumsdorf, Managing Director, ITConcepts.
ITConcepts chose to partner with Centreon exactly for its razor-sharp focus on monitoring infrastructure and because it was interoperable with other tools in their stack, such as BMC service desk and ITSM solutions. “Rather than trying to do everything by itself, Centreon integrates with other tools in the ITOps environment, and stays on top of the IT infrastructure monitoring game through an extensive library of monitoring connectors (Plugin Packs) ensuring today’s and tomorrow’s technologies are monitored,” concludes Krumsdorf.

I've spent a lot of time in the channel, and one thing I keep coming back to is this: a partner program is only as good as what it looks like in the field. Many programs look great on paper, but when a partner is in front of a customer navigating a complex hybrid environment or trying to make the case for AI-powered observability, the gap between what a vendor promises and what it actually delivers becomes very clear, very fast ...
Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
