Clarian Health Selects Watch4net for Performance Reporting and Automatic Analysis
MONTREAL, Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Watch4net's Testimonial
Challenge
"Current economic conditions are affecting healthcare providers in terms
of limited personnel and budget constraints," said Bob Swann, Executive
Director, IT Operations, Clarian Health. An industry typically marked by
growth is starting to feel the effects of the economic slowdown. Senior level
executives are being tasked to run leaner organizations with fewer resources
and still maintain a premier level of patient care. Watch4net APG Software
Suite marries process with technology, helping managers drive business
growth, manage costs, and deliver higher levels of performance, despite
current market conditions.
Solution
We determined that the lack of tools to look at time based performance
was impacting our business from a historical analysis perspective as well as
limiting our ability to do effective capacity planning. After an installation
of APG Software Suite onto EMC SMARTS servers, we were producing graphs and
reports that were emailed to various managers at Clarian Health within a few
hours. APG Software Suite has been a powerful tool in our capacity planning
and ability to create highly customized reports.
Result
The performance reporting and analysis now available to us through the
addition of the APG Software Suite to our EMC/SMARTS installation has
provided us with immediate benefits of real-time, historical and projected
visibility on our network and IT infrastructure.
