Precise Marks One Year of Independence with Precise 8.5

New Release Helps Companies Do More With Less and Provides Seamless Migration for Symantec APM Customers

Redwood Shores, Calif. - March 24, 2009 - Precise today announced the immediate availability of Precise 8.5, its first major release since becoming an independent company. Precise 8.5 offers significant extensions for Transaction Performance Management (TPM) and offers a migration path for Symantec APM customers to help them preserve and develop their existing Symantec APM investments.

“As one of the largest U.S. investment and insurance companies, it is critical to our business that our application and database performance remains optimized,” said John Lamb, assistant vice president of platform management services for The Hartford Property and Casualty Group. “Precise allows our IT service management teams to collaborate around a central view of our service level agreements expected by the business.”

Precise 8.5 extends TPM to the latest developments in the storage tier, manages transaction performance for composite applications, and offers the first performance management solution for DB2 environments. Precise 8.5 also offers new, centralized administration and automated deployment capabilities that allow smaller, less experienced teams to effectively manage large deployments. 

“We have worked closely with our customers around the globe during the last year. With the economical downturn we have seen them shift from building new infrastructure to making what they already have work better,” said Mark Kremer, CEO of Precise. “Our customers tell us that they look to Transaction Performance Management to help them provide the same or better levels of service at significantly lower costs.” 

Precise 8.5 is immediately available. Customers can visit www.precise.com or email sales@precise.com to learn more.
