Replay Solutions’ flagship record and replay technology maximizes quality in enterprise software by eliminating the time it takes to locate software application errors.

Replay has saved customers up to 80 percent of the time associated with error resolution, resulting in significant cost savings, faster time to market and higher ROI.

 

“Several factors attracted us to Replay Solutions. Their core technology conquers a significant obstacle in application issue resolution and allows IT expenditures associated with correcting defects in software to be reduced significantly. Issue resolution often consumes a large portion of software development budgets, so Replay’s technology presents a large market opportunity,” stated Blake Modersitzki, managing director at UV Partners. “Replay also has an exceedingly talented management team who knows how to deliver significant value to companies depending on strong software, free of risky vulnerabilities. The value in Replay’s technology is not only the time and resources applications teams save, but also the assurance that they will be able to recreate and resolve every single issue. UV Partners saw a strategic opportunity to help Replay deliver that value to the enterprise application market sooner.”

 

“UV Partners’ investment in us will accelerate our support for the breadth of enterprise environments our customers demand. In the midst of the current market conditions, companies are increasingly looking for cost savings and are turning to Replay for solutions,” said Jonathan Lindo, CEO and co-founder of Replay Solutions. “We see a number of opportunities in the current market to accelerate the expansion of our product offerings to bring new and innovative products to market, all based on our core, patent-pending technology. These products will address key pain points currently being experienced by companies that rely on software for their mission-critical business functions. Above all, Replay is committed to providing solutions that help our customers optimize costs, reduce overhead, and increase workflow efficiency.”
