New License Revenue Soars in Q2 with Diverse Customer
Acquisitions
Revenue from agentless application performance and network monitoring software rises more than 100% over prior year with gains in new market sectors
Braintree, MA -
July 15, 2008 - Heroix, a leading provider of
application performance and network monitoring
software, today announced record breaking revenue
levels from its Longitude application and IT infrastructure
monitoring software. Q2 Longitude revenue increased
104% over the same quarter last year, and revenue
for the first half of 2008 was up 49% over the
first half of 2007.
Longitude customer acquisition for the first
half increased 26% over last year, with wins in
“green” sectors such as solar energy
and resource management consulting, as well as
in more traditional sectors of healthcare, financial
services, publishing, education, technology, law
enforcement, state government, manufacturing,
transportation, and IT services. The company’s
new Longitude Professional Edition, launched in
January, showed immediate and consistent traction
with small to medium size businesses, while the
established flagship Longitude Enterprise Edition
continued making inroads in larger organizations.
“By offering Longitude packages at prices
accessible to every budget, we’ve demonstrated
that any size or type of business can afford a
feature-rich, commercially supported application
monitoring package,” said Heroix President
Rick Lane. “Organizations with limited resources
no longer have to make do with patchwork monitoring
or rely on costly, reactive firefighting in guaranteeing
IT service levels. Longitude is affordable, installs
immediately, and provides best practices proactive
monitoring within minutes.” Customer Bret
Moeller, CIO at Bunker Hill Community College
in Charlestown, Massachusetts, concurred. “There
are a few other systems that provide similar capabilities
but they are all very expensive. Longitude, on
the other hand, is priced at a level that fits
our tight budget.”
Other first-half highlights include a move to
a new, larger company headquarters in Braintree,
Massachusetts, as well as several product recognitions.
Longitude was awarded “Best of the Tests”
by Network World Magazine, and was named a finalist
