Recent surveys by IDC and others have shown that this is a difficult time for IT managers. They are under severe pressure to keep up with the demands of the business while operating at significantly lower budget levels than during the dot-com explosion of just a few years ago. The results of a 2003 IDC survey showed that 41% of all respondents listed budget or cost-containment issues as their biggest challenge in managing the IT infrastructure over the next 12 months.

Our OpCentral(TM) service allows IT Managers to "do more with less" and at the same time gives Business Managers the reports and statistical data that is required to operate and track the efficiency of IT as a service to the business instead of as a cost center.

OpCentral(TM) is a monthly service. There is NO capital outlay required as there would be if you tried to deploy the same tools in-house.
