Early Detection Reduces Customer Service Inquiries by 80 Percent, Leading to Increases in Customer Satisfaction for Nation's Largest MSP Focused Exclusively on K-12 School Districts

Redwood City, Calif. – October 7, 2008 – Nimsoft Inc., the “Big 4” alternative for IT performance and availability monitoring solutions, today announced that Trillion, the nation’s largest Managed Service Provider (MSP) for K-12 school districts, has dramatically increased its IT efficiencies and customer satisfaction using Nimsoft. Designed for a service environment, the Nimsoft solution enabled Trillion to proactively identify and resolve potential problems before they impacted end user performance.

In the past three and one-half years as a Nimsoft customer, Trillion has proactively identified and resolved potential IT performance solutions using Nimsoft, resulting in a reduced number of customer service inquiries by 80 percent.

“Our customers rely on Trillion for ‘always-on’ performance. With Nimsoft, we are able to identify problems proactively before our clients are even aware of a performance issues,” stated Kevin Bethke, Chief Operating Officer for Trillion. “The single, end-to-end view and the proactive methodology has helped us reduce customer-originated help desk tickets by 80 percent.”

With more than 1,000 schools coast-to-coast, Trillion offers school district customers around-the-clock monitoring of network and VoIP telephony solutions. Previously, Trillion had been using a combination of open source and point solutions Nagios, Solarwinds and WhatsUp Gold, which did not meet their needs as they continued to grow.

In contrast, Nimsoft provided scalable, end-to-end performance and availability monitoring for the entire IT infrastructure. Nimsoft currently offers more than 100 dedicated probes supporting major operating systems and IT infrastructure from servers, networks and databases to applications and the end-users’ experience of those applications. Service levels can be set against availability, application queries and end user response times using synthetic transactions or real-user monitoring (RUM) statistics. NimBUS reporting intelligently packages the relevant monitoring data into understandable information for any level of the client organization, from client CEO to IT manager.

“Nimsoft offers managed service providers a proven solution with broad infrastructure support to enable services for complex environments, scalability for distributed environments and adaptability to the changing needs of the business,” commented Gary Read, president and CEO of Nimsoft. “With central and proactive views, managed service providers can identify the root of issues more quickly and thereby increase customer satisfaction. When we partner with managed service providers, we support them knowing that our solution is foundational to their business success.”

"With a single tool we can now provide a complete end-to-end picture of all components of an application and their integrated performance versus the straight-line, element-focused approach from before.

Because of NimBUS' easy drag-and-drop templates, we were able to cut down migration time considerably, get customers up and running with new NimBUS monitoring quickly and turn off the old systems. IntelliNet was able to convert all of its customers to NimBUS in less than 6 months."
