EYE 2009 includes new modules and core product enhancements that allow business end-users to realise peak efficiency from IT services while maximising return from existing infrastructures. These additions stream network intelligence in real-time through browsers for accurate and current data to proactively to avoid network issues that often go unnoticed with oversimplified management tools or complex framework solutions.

From providing valuable ROI metrics, implementing ITIL processes and a more intuitive way to manage service delivery performance, to its open design architecture for easy data sharing, outstanding “out-of-the-box” customisable reporting and the product's solid engineering, EYE 2009 gives our customers exactly the visibility needed to manage their network more effectively and economically, states Dan Van der Westhuizen, General Manager Sales & Marketing at Quintica. “EYE 2009 will give our customers a strong foundation from which to execute their IT service management strategies.”

* Workflow-driven multi-server operation - Toggle between unique federated or consolidated schemes that streamline management of larger, complex distributed networks.

Provides an efficient, configurable, Web-based route to action and quick validation that is scalable for larger networks.
