Aternity Inc., the industry’s technology leader in end user experience management solutions for Global 1000 enterprises, today announced the official launch of its worldwide Partner Program for independent software vendors (ISVs), system integrators (SIs), original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and technology partners. The Aternity Frontline Performance Intelligence (FPI) Partner Program is designed for vendors delivering products and services in the financial services, healthcare, energy, manufacturing, and retail industries, who are interested in enhancing their offerings with end user experience management capabilities based on Aternity’s award-winning FPI Platform. Aternity has already established technology partnerships with leading global companies including Intel, Microsoft, Oracle, Dell, and RedHat.

Aternity partners are well positioned to capture a share of the $3.5 billion total market opportunity for application performance and end user experience management, as projected by Gartner. By taking advantage of Aternity’s FPI Platform, partners deliver agile end user experience management solutions that provide rapid ROI and the fastest time-to-benefit for their customers. This is due to Aternity’s application-agnostic approach to end user experience management, coupled with the platform’s advanced analytics capabilities that arm partners with the breakthrough ability to generate comprehensive frontline performance intelligence from almost any enterprise application in days.

The first set of Aternity’s FPI Solutions for enterprise applications includes pre-packaged support for SAP, Oracle®, Siebel, Microsoft® Outlook-Exchange, Lotus Notes, Microsoft Office, and many more, out of the box. Aternity FPI Solutions will further enable Aternity FPI Partners to rapidly transform organizations into proactive IT enterprises, dramatically reducing business disruptions while driving increased productivity, performance, and usability.

“Our Frontline Performance Intelligence Partner Program will help broaden the impact and tangible benefits for enterprises that continually struggle with being able to identify IT issues before end users are impacted,” said Trevor Matz, President and CEO of Aternity. “By leveraging Aternity’s FPI Platform, our partners are able to extend their product and services offerings with innovative new capabilities. Combined with our rapid POC process and turnkey FPI solutions, Aternity partners are well positioned to demonstrate the value and business results today’s economic climate demands.”

The Aternity FPI Platform uniquely monitors the three key performance indicators that define and impact end user experience – application performance, desktop performance, and user productivity. The platform’s real-time analytics and correlation engine transforms these metrics into actionable business intelligence. Proactive IT enterprises leverage these end user experience metrics to drive strategic IT and business initiatives such as preemptive problem detection, probable cause analysis, informed capacity planning, application licensing optimization, and desktop virtualization management and orchestration.

“Aternity’s Frontline Performance Intelligence Platform offers significant advantages over existing end-user monitoring tools because it captures the real user experience and business behavior,” said Scott Leslie, CEO of Evidant, an innovator and leader in the area of Business Intelligence of IT (BIIT) software
