"Managing IT infrastructure according to business services has created a significant shift in customer requirements," said Gary Read, president and CEO of Nimsoft.

"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."
