"The Aternity Frontline Performance Intelligence Platform offers a helicopter view of the total frontline user experience, which will no doubt have a profound effect on any organization that needs to improve productivity and reduce costs," said Chris Shipley, DEMO 08 executive producer. "With Aternity, enterprises gain right-time business intelligence that will drive and influence effective IT and business decisions associated with end user experience management. I expect it will be a growing and popular topic for enterprises everywhere."

The end user experience management market is poised for dramatic growth - especially for next-generation frontline performance intelligence solutions. Gartner Dataquest predicts that between 2005 and 2011 IT spending on availability and performance tools, including those for end user experience monitoring and management, will rise by more than 45 percent, ultimately sizing the total market opportunity at more than $3.5 Billion USD. In addition, according to Jean-Pierre Garbani of Forrester Research, there are more than 30,000 enterprises that have more than 100 servers today - and 40 percent of these enterprises are potential targets for deploying end user experience monitoring solutions.*

Aternity is leading this trend through its advanced frontline performance intelligence platform focused on addressing areas such as pre-emptive problem detection, business performance correlation, application usage and usability, end user productivity analysis, and informed capacity planning. Aternity's platform is currently being deployed by leading organizations in financial services, healthcare, high-tech, and manufacturing. By leveraging Aternity, these organizations are bridging the visibility gap between the frontline user and IT/Line-of-Business (LOB) executives to help them understand exactly how the real end user experience impacts business results.

"We are honored to be part of this year's DEMO conference, which signals our official market entrance as the next-generation provider of end user experience management software," said Trevor Matz, President and CEO of Aternity. "We are currently engaged with Global 1000 enterprises who recognize the inherent value in advancing their organizations well beyond traditional monitoring solutions. By transforming every desktop into a self- monitoring platform that is end user experience aware, we're enabling these enterprises to harness the frontline intelligence they need to make effective business decisions that will drive increased productivity, performance, and usability."
