OcuCue is the First Company to Offer Visual Analytic Solutions to Network Engineers
Thursday, March 4th, 2010
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OcuCue is the First Company to Offer Visual Analytic Solutions to Network Engineers
Network monitoring finally catches up with the growth of the Internet
Vero Beach, FL, March 2, 2010 – With the internet cloud expanding to connect almost 13 billion devices, businesses are dependent upon efficient network monitoring more now than ever. Surprisingly, technical personnel have utilized the same network monitoring approaches for more than two decades. Finally, IT engineers have a new, simple solution: OcuCue.
Unable to view details of the devices at the top level, IP network engineers have drilled down through layers of information to diagnose problems. Now OcuCue enables engineers to see details at a glance and respond promptly. Founded in 2009 as the sales agency for VisualCue Technologies’ solution in the IP networking space, OcuCue serves up fresh, detailed visual cues that reflect current conditions in a custom format. Visual cues in the form of customized icons can be updated frequently, are easy to comprehend and are universally understood. A picture is worth a thousand words, and pictures that update themselves are worth even more.
“I’ve had a lifelong interest in the visual display of quantitative information,” said OcuCue President Stuart C. Woodward. “When I was introduced to VisualCue Technologies’ visual perception innovations, it was clear to me that dramatic advances were possible.”
Visual analytics provide a new approach to help businesses streamline their activities. As the icons are self-explanatory and accessible to non-technical personnel, they can transform the way technical staff interacts with management and personnel who face customers.
“Existing monitoring solutions built for engineers leave out operating personnel and business management who are thirsty for better information,” Woodward said.
OcuCue is ideal for a variety of industries. Customized icons can be created for any application, including routers, severs, media connections, airports, fleets, networks and campuses.
“We offer IP engineers an innovative way to get more information, easier and faster,” Woodward said. “Visual icons can be understood by our clients’ customers as well, providing our clients with an additional source of revenue and incremental margin.”
