Redwood City, California – April 3, 2007 – Nimsoft, Inc. the emerging leader of service level management, announced today that Calumet Photographic, Inc., a major retailer and manufacturer of photographic solutions in Europe and the United States, has selected Nimsoft to automate the monitoring and management of their mission critical systems. NimBUS provides Calumet an ability to proactively manage and comply with service level agreements in addition to lowering the costs of ongoing management of their worldwide IT infrastructure.

According to Doug Fischer, Calumet IT manager, "Calumet strives to employ the latest technology as we continue to build our global presence. To meet our many needs, automated monitoring of our vast systems is of paramount importance. We found the best fit with Nimsoft's easy-to-implement service level management solution. Nimsoft's flexible interface has reduced the complexity and lowered the costs associated with ongoing operations."

"Managing IT infrastructure according to business services has created a significant shift in customer requirements," said Gary Read, president and CEO of Nimsoft. "Large enterprises such as Calumet have discovered that NimBUS is a scaleable solution with a single architecture that genuinely helps simplify and streamline the monitoring and management of heterogeneous enterprises. Nimsoft is truly a next-generation alternative that is replacing large and expensive traditional solutions that have long dominated global IT environments."

The NimBUS product suite allows us to manage, monitor and report on all these areas from one simple-to-use interface.

"We were excited to see how quickly NimBUS deployed compared to OpenView. In a typical 10 server environment, I'd say we cut our deployment time by 80 percent. Where we used to take days to bring up new customer SLAs, we now do it in hours. NimBUS also requires less highly paid personnel, and less staff time overall, for ongoing support. By reducing our personnel requirements we've saved quite a bit of money."
