INS Will License EnterprisePRO(SM) to Provide Greater Purchasing Flexibility PR Newswire - December 15, 1997 08:04 INSS %CPR %LIC V%PRN P%PRN Jump to first matched term SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- International Network Services (INS) (Nasdaq: INSS), a worldwide provider of services and solutions for enterprise networks, today announced greater flexibility in the purchasing options available for its industry-leading network performance management solution, EnterprisePRO. "INS' clients now have the ability to acquire the EnterprisePRO network performance management solution as a service contract, or as a software license. For those organizations who prefer to amortize their network performance management expenses, and are in a position to make a multi-year buying decision, this licensing approach makes EnterprisePRO more financially attractive," stated John Drew, President and Chief Operating Officer. "With this new purchasing option, EnterprisePRO not only provides the best network performance management functionality we've seen, but also an attractive procurement option to enhance the ROI metrics of the service," stated Lori Arashiro, Manager of Information Technology at Becton Dickenson Immunocytology Systems (BDIS) in San Jose, California. "INS was the first to offer a turnkey network performance management service with EnterprisePRO," reported Ellen Carney, Principal Analyst/Director of Dataquest's network integration and support services research program. "These new licensing options make their leading edge solution even more attractive from a financial perspective." EnterprisePRO's turnkey delivery model allows clients to monitor and measure their network performance without the maintenance requirements of standalone software products and tools. This solution frees the client's information technology personnel from the task of gathering network data and allows them to focus on tasks that require more specialized skills. It also supplies clients with secure, web-based access to the wide range of network performance metrics they need to verify their internal/end-user and external/carrier service level agreements (SLAs). INS' EnterprisePRO is a web-based network performance management solution which enables clients to track the performance of key network elements and analyze long-term network trends for capacity planning and budgeting purposes. EnterprisePRO allows network managers and senior executives to monitor network availability and other key performance metrics on a device-by-device, department-by-department, or overall corporate basis. Since its introduction in July, 1996, EnterprisePRO has been adopted by some of the largest telecommunications, financial, high technology, and healthcare organizations worldwide.
