Concord snaps up netViz

Johannesburg, 26 Aug 2003

Concord Communications has signed an agreement to acquire netViz Corporation. netViz software enables users to visualise business processes and allows them to map relationships within the supporting technology infrastructure through data-driven icons.

In addition, Concord has licensed Tavve`s root cause analysis and discovery of layer 2 and 3 network topology - part of Concord`s strategic initiative to build on its ability to optimise application availability and performance across networks and systems.

"The integration of these technologies, with Concord`s flagship product, the eHealth Suite, will fundamentally redefine the IT management landscape by providing a new, more automated means of application service optimisation," said Concord South African country manager Iain Goodway.

He said Concord`s new roadmap would enable enterprises and service providers to employ data-driven icons to visualise and take action on the critical relationships between business processes, application services, and network and system infrastructures.

"This competitive differentiator will allow customers to measure the performance and availability of application services, map the dependencies between business processes, and manage the complete application service," Betz explained. "Integrating netViz and Tavve technologies will further increase the eHealth Suite`s value proposition by capturing the business context of information and delivering IT knowledge while ensuring a low total cost of ownership."

Currently, Concord`s eHealth Suite is used by approximately 3,000 organisations worldwide to optimize application performance and availability across networks and systems. These new technologies will build upon the eHealth Suite`s ability to deliver an average ROI of 251% within three years.
