| Large Financial Company Decreases IT Costs While Using Historical Trends to Plan for the Future “up.time is the most exciting solution that I've implemented in the past decade. With uptime software, we have turned a weakness (system performance and server monitoring software, and capacity planning) into a strength.” Wally Beddoe, Vice President of Technology, Telekurs Financial
Telekurs Financial, a leading financial institution that specializes in the procurement, processing, and distribution of financial information, is improving its capacity planning, process and system performance, and CPU and memory utilization by adopting uptime software for server monitoring and capacity planning. Strategic use of up.time helps Telekurs Financial to capacity plan for better efficiency and increased productivity, while reliably monitoring their critical real time data servers. The end result is an increase in IT savings of approximately 60% versus other products, a large cut in consulting hours needed, and met Service Level Agreements through best-in-class automated reporting.
Situation
Telekurs Financial was getting tired of large and bulky vendor solutions when it came to capacity planning and monitoring their server and application environment. After looking at number of software solutions, including HP Openview, Telekurs Financial chose uptime software’s “up.time.”
“Most software vendors make large, complicated, hard to use, and very expensive monitoring and planning products,” explains Wally Beddoe, VP of IT. “I needed a solution that was light, reliable, easy to use, and provided the right reporting and planning for a financial institution our size.”
Cost Savings When it comes to the total cost of ownership (TCO), uptime software’s application and server management software solution is simply more affordable than their competition. Telekurs Financial saved over 60% versus what they would have spent with other products and realized an ROI in excess of 500% this year.
It’s not just te licensing that equates to the lower cost, but the ease of installation, the lack of consulting needed, and the increase in productivity from its industry leading browser interface and best-in-class performance reporting. All in all, up.time provides the reporting and trending solutions needed for Enterprise monitoring and planning at a cost that is unbeatable in the marketplace today.
"uptime software has raised the level of confidence across our IT organization. Many of our technical analysts are big fans of up.time and love attaching credible up.time reports to their initiatives and assessments to show the value of their work," says Beddoe.
Historical Data Trending: Capacity Planning and Server Consolidation
“For capacity planning, we wanted to see historical performance and trending data in a way that was easy to understand. Our choice to use up.time for this was a no brainer.”
Real-time, Mission Critical Monitoring with Ease
“We don’t have the time to constantly baby-sit all of our servers—we need a solution that keeps us informed and anticipates problems before they occur,” says Beddoe. “up.time meets our needs for robust monitoring and planning, while still remaining usable and understandable at the same time. up.time has exceeded our expectations and I’m not sure if I’ve ever said that about a software company before.”
