Identify Software's AppSight Application Problem Resolution System Voted MSD2D 2005 People's Choice Award Winner

NEW YORK, June 9, 2005 – Identify Software, the leader in application problem resolution software, today announced that its flagship product, AppSight™ Application Problem Resolution System, is the winner in the .NET Components – Debugging and Testing category of the MSD2D 2005 People's Choice Awards. MSD2D is a well–respected online resource for the Microsoft .NET community.

Identify's AppSight automates the problem resolution process, which largely remains a manual, error-prone, communications-intensive activity that involves architects, developers, testers, as well as operations. AppSight minimizes the lengthy and costly process that includes iterative attempts to gather information about a problem and recreate it before even beginning the root cause analysis.

"The fourth annual People's Choice Awards recognize the best products and companies in our industry. Visitors to our web site cast their vote for the products they view as the very best in their respective categories," said Jackie Nguyen, MSD2D vice president of sales. "MSD2D readers are professionals interested in learning more about various solutions for the Microsoft .NET Framework. Their votes serve as solid peer-to-peer recommendations of the winning products."

"AppSight is designed to make it easier for development teams to uncover root causes and resolve application problems quickly and to dramatically improve the quality of the applications they are building," said Yochi Slonim, CEO of Identify. "This award reinforces the outstanding results our enthusiastic customer base of more than 600 companies is experiencing every day with AppSight."

AppSight leverages patented AppSight Black Box software technology to monitor application execution and capture a synchronized, real-time log of user actions, system events, performance metrics, configuration data, and code execution flow – much like the "black box" flight recorder on an aircraft captures a real-time record of a flight. The AppSight Black Box log can be replayed and analyzed to quickly pinpoint the root cause of all kinds of application problems, whether related to performance, configuration issues, user mistakes, or code errors. Because AppSight allows IT professionals to simply replay, rather than recreate the problem, it eliminates up to 70 percent of the cycle time traditionally consumed by root cause analysis and streamlines the problem triage process.

Identify® is the leader in application problem resolution software, helping hundreds of enterprises and software vendors speed application delivery, increase application quality, performance, and availability, and reduce application support costs. The company’s AppSight Application Problem Resolution System leverages patented Black Box technology to monitor application execution and to capture, communicate, and determine the root cause of application problems, thereby dramatically accelerating problem resolution processes across the application lifecycle.
