- Can your return on management investments be improved?
- Is the amount of money spent on management in proportion to the risk?

Business Issue:
Any technology performance and availability problems would directly impact customer satisfaction. The existing IBM Tivoli® system was out of date and not meeting the web infrastructure needs.

Nagios helped IT in functionality but they needed a more robust console and user interface.
Solution:
GroundWork Monitor delivered a low-cost solution that effortlessly expanded the Nagios deployment.
Value:
Unlike IBM Tivoli, GroundWork Monitor handled the event monitoring and alarm generation plus provides a status view when a problem occurs for a very low cost. This ultimately improves their customer satisfaction with better availability.
