Aternity Inc., announced the Aternity Frontline Performance Intelligence Platform at the DEMO 08 Conference. Aternity's platform uniquely bridges the visibility gap between IT management awareness of end user experience and the impact it has upon business performance. The end result is a dramatic reduction in business disruption and an exponential increase in frontline user productivity. Aternity is leading this trend through its advanced frontline performance intelligence platform focused on addressing areas such as pre-emptive problem detection, business performance correlation, application usage and usability, end user productivity analysis, and informed capacity planning.

    Gartner Dataquest predicts that between 2005 and 2011 IT spending on availability and performance tools, including those for end user experience monitoring and management, will rise by more than 45 percent, ultimately sizing the total market opportunity at more than $3.5 Billion USD. In addition, according to Jean-Pierre Garbani of Forrester Research, there are more than 30,000 enterprises that have more than 100 servers today - and 40 percent of these enterprises are potential targets for deploying end user experience monitoring solutions.*

    Aternity's platform is currently being deployed by leading organizations in financial services, healthcare, high-tech, and manufacturing. By leveraging Aternity, these organizations are bridging the visibility gap between the frontline user and IT/Line-of-Business executives to help them understand exactly how the real end user experience impacts business results. With the ability to preemptively detect problems, enterprises benefit from dramatic reductions in business disruptions.  In addition, organizations reduce support costs and Mean Time to Repair.

    "The Aternity Frontline Performance Intelligence Platform offers a helicopter view of the total frontline user experience, which will no doubt have a profound effect on any organization that needs to improve productivity and reduce costs. With Aternity, enterprises gain right-time business intelligence that will drive and influence effective IT and business decisions associated with end user experience management. I expect it will be a growing and popular topic for enterprises everywhere," stated Chris Shipley, DEMO 08 executive producer.
