Beyond the IT Monitoring Paradigm

Because Information Technology has become so deeply involved in the way companies do business (production, marketing, sales, management, etc.), IT is now considered part of the “critical path” to business. Consequently, companies have asked IT professionals to prevent any network, hardware or software failure that would negatively affect their customers’ satisfaction.

This is exactly the purpose of IT monitoring tools like BMC Performance Manager – to ensure that IT is running smoothly. Currently, powerful IT monitoring solutions have been deployed in every IT-sensitive company (i.e. 100% of the 100+ employee companies). These IT monitoring frameworks send alerts to operators and experts whenever something goes wrong with the network and must be fixed.

BMC Performance Manager is the best solution for such problems: it covers every piece of technology a company may use - from the network to the database (including hardware, software, etc). It provides advanced operator features, a centralized portal, strong reporting capabilities, and fine-grain event correlation.

We have a proven monitoring tool that helps IT professionals watch over their IT infrastructure. Why confine this tool to IT? Why not use our favorite monitoring solution on non-IT infrastructure related information? We could first try to monitor a non-IT condition that may affect our IT (worldwide virus alerts, the temperature outside) or even a non-IT condition that may impact our business (stock quote, news from our competitors, etc.)
