Customers with Daily Network Performance Reports on the Web
Concord Communications(R), Inc. (NASDAQ:CCRD), the leader in Web-based network performance reporting and analysis solutions, today announced that Bell Atlantic is leveraging Network Health and the Internet to communicate network performance status and information to customers.
Bell Atlantic Data Solutions Group, a unit of Bell Atlantic, recently installed Network Health in their state-of-the-art enterprise management centers and uses the solution's automated, industry-leading reports to document the performance of their customers' networks. Customers in assorted industries, including global corporations, educational institutions and government agencies, access performance reports via the Internet daily to make informed and timely decisions about their network services.
"We selected this software tool because it's a cost-effective solution that can be quickly implemented, enabling us to provide customers easy access to useful data about their networks via the World Wide Web," said Don Montgomery, product manager of Network Management Services for the Bell Atlantic Data Solutions Group.
"With Network Health, we can arm our customers with the information they need to maximize the performance, availability and reliability of their data networks."
Delivers Better Customer Communication
Network Health enabled Bell Atlantic Data Solutions Group to move from an administratively expensive and time-consuming monthly customer report process to daily Web-based reports that customers can access anytime, anywhere through a Web browser. By "webifying" the way they document network performance, information is thirty times more timely and Bell Atlantic Data Solutions customers know they are receiving the most up-to-date information on their network performance.
"Organizations are increasingly turning to top service providers for maximum performance on the enterprise networks that drive their day-to-day business," said Dan Phillips, vice president of sales for Concord Communications.
