Save Money with Practical Network Management

Reduce troubleshooting time, spot issues before they impact users, and reduce admin overhead with no clients, probes, or agents.

It's always advantageous to operate as efficiently as possible, regardless of how the economy's doing. But in an economic downturn, IT organizations are often faced with budget cutbacks or hiring freezes, and since the largest costs in an IT organization are the personnel, making sure each staff member is working efficiently is critical. The right set of tools can actually help to reduce IT costs significantly, allowing organizations to do more with less. Cost savings can be measured in 'hard' costs, such as Wide Area Network (WAN) circuit billing and electricity costs; as well as 'soft' cost savings, such as the value of reducing or preventing downtime and increased staff efficiency.

Netreo has built just the right set of tools to help you save money - OmniCenter®.

OmniCenter can help you:

Manage larger environments with fewer staff

In many IT organizations today, even if the environment is expanding, the IT staffing is not. It is therefore imperative to make sure every staff member is using their time effectively. One way this can be done with the right management tools is by leveraging labor-saving functions, such as automating configuration changes and change control procedures, automating repetitive reporting and maintenance tasks, and ideally be simple enough to use that end-user stakeholders can be empowered to view reports directly, without involving IT personnel.

Identify and fix problems faster

A well-configured and easy-to-use management system can help to quickly identify the cause of network or system outages and notify the correct personnel, often before the users report the problem. Reducing the time required to identify and troubleshoot a problem has a measurable impact on IT staffing costs. In an environment with poor or incorrectly deployed management tools, simply isolating the problem can take hours.

Spot problems before they occur, and prevent them

With a comprehensive management system in place, an IT organization can begin doing truly proactive troubleshooting, and escape the constant firefighting mode of break/fix reactive troubleshooting. A good management system should identify potential problems before they impact the user experience at all.
