By on Nov 25, 2002McKesson chose ProactiveNet after a competitive evaluation period, citing ProactiveNet's unique combination of breadth of infrastructure measurement and monitoring coverage with depth of monitoring and management of WebLogic and Sun ONE J2EE application servers.
Like other companies in the healthcare market, McKesson relies on supply management technologies to streamline processes and reduce operating costs. McKesson's Supply Management Online application is its primary back-end online system supporting capabilities in order management, supply management, decision support, and financial management for healthcare clients and partners. ProactiveNet's monitoring, management, and intelligent root cause analysis features enable McKesson's operations team to reduce the time and effort needed to identify the source of application performance problems, direct the appropriate resource, and quickly resolve the problems.
"Supply Management Online is the core application behind our order management services, and we needed a comprehensive solution that could handle the load of measuring and managing the availability and performance," said Morgan Morris, Vice President, Architecture at McKesson. "After prototyping several best-of-breed application performance management solutions, we found that ProactiveNet's breadth of coverage, including support for WebLogic and Sun ONE, exceeded all our expectations. No other approach came close to ProactiveNet's operational scalability, reliability and flexibility."
