Company Profile Introduction All companies today are focusing on the efficiency and effectiveness of their IT investments and the applications that define and run their businesses. What is most important to their success is the performance of these applications, information technology, security, storage and telecommunications infrastructures that they run on. In the e-Business environments of today, growth and profitability are inextricably tied to the performance of the business’s application infrastructure. Without clear visibility into all parts of the application, security and communications infrastructures, both in terms of real-time performance metrics and precise alert notifications to technical support staffs along with accurate reporting of SLA’s to IT managers on services being delivered to customers, more and more companies will find themselves even further strained. Availability and responsiveness of information systems drives every CEO and business manager today. Having real-time data, actionable Web-based reports and segment isolation information allows IT managers to proactively respond to degrading performance conditions, thus increasing their efficiency and productivity, while significantly reducing operating costs. Business Overview Network Telemetrics, Inc. (“NTi”) headquartered in Westlake Village, CA, is an innovative provider of Service Management software solutions that enable IT organizations to objectively measure, analyze and improve upon their IT Services, application infrastructures and world-wide telecommunications performance. NTi takes a new and fundamentally different approach to identifying and measuring bottlenecks and service disruptions, providing organizations with business-focused metrics that enable them to optimize computing resources to deliver Six Sigma quality and maximize their return on IT and telecommunications investments. NTi’s ServiceVuTM , ProViewTM Enterprise and ProViewTM DataCenter products provide the most granular and comprehensive view of IT service levels, application performance and end-to-end network quality of service, revealing performance and service degradations in real-time thus allowing proactive SLA management and cost avoidance best practices to be implemented. The NTi Service Management solutions support the Six Sigma and ITIL standards of measuring and improving quality, offering a disciplined and data-driven approach to eliminating inefficiencies and defects in any process – from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service.

The NTi Service Management solutions incorporate multi-level business-view dashboards, end-to-end problem isolation capabilities, drill-down diagnostics, automated operations, Web-based reporting and broad support for mainframe, client-server, e-business, VoIP, wireless and enterprise applications. Performance Matters: A Critical Market Need As competition and shrinking IT budgets drive more businesses to seek less complex, more comprehensive Service Management solutions and on-demand, actionable diagnostics of all or significant parts of their IT infrastructures, a critical need will grow, over the next five to ten years, for more intelligent, integrated and automated IT Service Management solutions. These solutions must not only be capable of automatically detecting and isolating problems between the infrastructure components, telecommunications providers and the applications but must resolve the root cause of a problem and in the future affect an automatic change or correction to the environment to resolve a performance degradation. The NTi Service Management technologies give IT management the unique ability to see into every corner, across all platforms, into all applications – anytime, anywhere. © Network Telemetrics, Inc. 818-735-9840, 5655 Lindero Canyon Rd, Suite 504, Westlake Village, CA 91362-4048 Dataquest estimates that the IT Service Management software market will grow to $8.3 billion in 2006, especially in such mission-critical industries as telecommunications, financial services, banking, energy, retail, transportation and in all government services.
