Alere Projects Three-Year, 50 Percent Overall Administration Cost Savings Using SevOne's Distributed Application and Performance Management Solution
SevOne Enables Leading Healthcare Provider to Increase Network Availability, Redundancy and Uptime of Remote Centers in Disaster Recovery Situations
NEWARK, DE--(Marketwire - September 10, 2008) - SevOne, Inc., an innovator in network and
application performance management tools and solutions, announced today
that Alere (formerly Matria
Healthcare), a leading provider of integrated, comprehensive health
enhancement programs to health plans, employers and government agencies,
has standardized on the company's application and performance management
solution, PASTM (Performance Appliance Solution). Through the ability to
optimize element reporting, improve device administration and achieve a
holistic view of server performance, Alere has seen a 50 percent
administration cost savings to date and this trend is expected to continue
moving forward.
Through easy to use automation features built into PAS, Alere staff can
apply group policies at the device and object level to improve the
monitoring of devices, elements and interfaces, while significantly
reducing administration tasks and dramatically improving network operations
and productivity.
"With SevOne's Quick Status
View, IT staff questioning the health of a particular server, can
access the device and receive an instant CPU utilization, memory drive and
traffic pattern report," said Jay Scott, performance engineer for Alere.
"From there it's pretty much point-and-click on what you want to look at or
drill down on. In other performance monitoring solutions, I would have to
run three or more reports, until I found the information I was looking for.
With SevOne, it's a couple of clicks and I have everything I need at my
fingertips."
As one of the country's leading providers of managed wellcare which
includes operating regional call centers staffed by more than 3,000 nursing
professionals, the ability to expand database capacity while achieving a
high level of network reliability required a forward-projecting capacity
management solution that reported into the existing management interface.
Using SevOne tools customized to his environment, Scott was able to
increase network availability, redundancy and uptime of his remote centers
in disaster recovery situations.
Scott also points to PAS's return on investment, "The SevOne solution
deployed by Alere is able to monitor five times the number of elements for
half the cost of competing vendors while helping me achieve an overall 50
percent administration cost savings."
"Alere has a powerful mission of helping their clients in the overwhelming
task of transforming the healthcare system from within. SevOne is honored
to participate in their mission by helping to transform their internal IT
performance management processes. We are committed to Alere's success and
will work closely with their expert team as requirements evolve," said
Michael Phelan, SevOne's CEO.
