EVOLUTION BENEFITS WINS NETWORK WORLD AWARD FOR WORK
WITH AVICODE
BALTIMORE, Maryland and AVON, CT, 8/08/2006 –
Evolution Benefits, the leader in innovative prepaid
benefits cards, has won Network World’s prestigious
Enterprise All-Star Award for its work with
Baltimore-based AVIcode, Inc.
Evolution Benefits’ Benny Program is a pioneering
service that enables better administration and
management of eligible benefits. As part of the program,
Evolution Benefits has introduced the Benny prepaid
benefits card which covered members can use to pay for
eligible, out-of-pocket healthcare expenses. Critical to
the success of this system is the ability to provide
their members with direct, uninterrupted, real-time
access to the Benny central database. To ensure
availability and reliability of their system, Evolution
Benefits selected AVIcode’s Intercept Studio, the
leading .NET application monitoring solution.
“By providing always-on monitoring of our application
for coding issues and performance bottlenecks, AVIcode’s
Intercept Studio enables us to react before customers
ever recognize there may be a problem or performance
degradation in accessing our database,” says Sean Erwin,
VP of Application Development at Evolution Benefits.
According to Erwin, Intercept Studio’s ability to
capture data in real-time has allowed Evolution Benefits
to troubleshoot, diagnose, fix, and redeploy
proactively, allowing customers to enjoy uninterrupted
service and a high level of confidence in the Benny
debit card. “As a result, uptime is now 100 percent and
ROI has been realized,” says Erwin.
“We are very proud of our work with Evolution
Benefits,” says AVIcode CEO Mike Curreri. “The
recognition by Network World confirms AVIcode’s
leadership within the rapidly growing application
management industry.”
Out of 200 nominations submitted this year, the
Network World Enterprise All-Star Awards honor only 40
companies for their groundbreaking network projects. The
award program looks for user organizations that
demonstrate exceptional use of network technology to
further business objectives and serve as role models for
their industries.
“They were named a winner for their approach to
application performance monitoring, which gave them the
ability to ensure their customers had seamless,
real-time access to data, using their existing systems,”
said Beth Schultz, editor of Network World’s Enterprise
All-Star Issue, and judge of the Enterprise All-Star
Awards.
Since they began using Intercept Studio, the firm has
experienced a 25-30 percent reduction in operating
costs, while consultant costs have been cut in half. The
original investment in the technology was recouped in
the first six months of use.
Enterprise All-Star Award winners will be announced
and profiled in a special Network World Signature Series
edition, to be published on September 25, 2006. For the
