The Houston Airport System needed to continue to monitor the 250 device network while reducing monitoring costs. Pate Consulting suggesting using an Open Source product that would give us greater visibility and control over our network devices and reduce our current monitoring costs. With the help and guidance of Pate Consulting, within sixty days, we were able to make the switch to the new product and will pay for the cost of the new system with just two months of network monitoring savings. Total annual cost reductions are over 500%. Rarely do we ever get an ROI of that magnitude and we would not have achieved these savings without the help of Pate Consulting.
