Watch4Net Selects Eirteic Consulting as First Global Partner

New York, N.Y., September 10, 2007 - Eirteic Consulting, a leading provider of quality network and service management solutions, and Watch4Net Solutions, a leading provider of performance management and reporting, today announced that Eirteic Consulting is Watch4Net Solutions' first global reseller for its flagship product, APG.

Eirteic will offer Watch4Net's APG Suite, a carrier-class performance reporting application that provides real-time, historical and projected visibility into the performance of the overall business, along with their value-added packaged services that include training, deployment, integration and support services. As a Next-Generation Systems Integrator (NGSI), Eirteic's approach is rooted in documented best practices involving the people, processes and tools required to solve the toughest IT management challenges. APG will be a key element of Eirteic's portfolio of tools — serving as its performance management solution of choice for large enterprise customers.

With its innovative and unique design, APG enables enterprises to collect and aggregate performance data from various sources (fault management tools, network devices, enterprise data and home-grown tools) into a single repository, increasing enterprise-wide infrastructure visibility.

Benefits of the APG Suite include:

• Eliminates the need for additional polling overhead: data synchronization and consistency between systems are not an issue
• Adds value out of the box: adapts automatically to existing infrastructure (i.e. library of predefined reports dedicated to a specific vendor or technology)
• Reduces costs: automates performance reporting management, and identifies problems before they impact users
• Scales easily to support the largest and most complex networks

"We're honored to be Watch4Net's first global reseller partner," said Patrick Buttimer, chief executive officer for Eirteic Consulting. "Eirteic delivers on the three essential touch points for improving overall IT efficiency — People, Process and Tools — and with the addition of the APG Suite, this capability is greatly enhanced."

Michel Foix, chief executive officer for Watch4Net Solutions adds, "Eirteic's reputation for delivering the highest quality OSS solutions to global market place is outstanding, and we're pleased to have the APG Suite among their solution set. Additionally, we're excited about the value this partnership will provide our clients. While APG's value is evident 'out of the box,' providing our customers access to a true systems integrator, one that clearly appreciates the importance of connecting our tool, to the people and processes within an organization's existing infrastructure, is a win-win situation for all parties involved."
