I’m quite pleased that IDC has mentioned us in the “companies to watch for” section of their latest Performance and Availability Management report. What is also worthy of note is that we are in the top four corporations that sustained high growth rates over the past year, a feat that has eluded many of our larger competitors.

Toronto, Canada, September 29, 2009 - uptime software today announced its inclusion in IDC’s “Worldwide Performance and Availability Management 2009″ report.

Spending on these tools is justified by a combination of operational and staff cuts savings paired with improved end user productivity and customer satisfaction, thanks to faster problem resolution and increased mission critical application availability. up.time helps make this transition easy and cost effective.
