"We reviewed more than 260 entries for this year's Best of TechEd on strategic importance to the market, competitive advantages and value to the customer.

"We are delighted that Windows IT Pro has recognized Heroix Longitude for the outstanding value it provides to companies as they strive to lower the cost of delivering IT services," said Howard Reisman, Heroix CEO and Founder. "Customers are saying loud and clear that they need robust, comprehensive performance monitoring, but without the high prices and long implementation times. That’s what Longitude delivers."
