"As we have takenadvantage of Intercept Studio's easy configuration and customization features,our results have improved even further.

Very little training was required toget an overview of application health, and using Intercept Studio has greatlyimproved the efficiency of the Ajenti system and its supporting services."Adoption of AVIcode's real-time application monitoring solution enabledAjenti users farmers monitoring their water meters, licensor staff trackingwater usage and data managers following data quality among them to monitortheir own utility usage much more reliably as system errors are automaticallydetected and diagnosed, resulting in problem resolution occurring often withinminutes rather than days."According to recent research, the cost of downtime for companies in theenergy industry can be up to $2.8 million per hour," said Mike Curreri, CEO atAVIcode.
