Broadgap developed a trouble ticket
system for Tolt Technologies, a reseller of
Symbol data capture devices. The system had
strict SLAs in place, guaranteeing response
time of as quick as 15 minutes. Downtime,
therefore, could be very costly. As Broadgap
developed the application, they realized
they needed to be able to test it with all
possible wireless interfaces and would have
to rely on manual reporting of problems from
technicians in the field. Instrumentation
would not have been sufficient, so Broadgap
brought in AVIcode. Intercept Studio
enhanced the testing process and eliminated
the need for manual reporting of errors in
production. In addition root cause analysis
helped Broadgap to detect and resolve an
elusive bug.

level. With AVIcode's technology, CAS can
determine SLA performance, monitor
performance across application tiers, and
proactively identify application components
which require further development or
support.
CliniTech
Two of the largest physician-owned
medical clinics in the state of Washington
rely on ready availability of their
electronic medical record system, provided
by Clinitech. In order to best support these
clinics, Clinitech recognized the need for
complete visibility into their applications.
To gain this visibility, the company
deployed Intercept Studio into a production
environment with both server and
desktop-based applications.
Consumer Source Interactive
A division of Consumer Source Inc. and a
Primedia Company, CSI owns and operates
numerous classified websites, including
ApartmentGuide.com, NewHomeGuide.com,
Rentals.com, andAutoguide.com. AVIcode's

when they needed it.
When CSC experienced a slow down of an
application they developed for a state
agency to submit and receive information
about Medicaid claims, patient eligibility,
claims status, etc., they turned to
Intercept Studio to determine the root cause
of the performance issue. Intercept Studio's
ability to deliver a graphical event chain
to visually represent transactions across
multiple servers helped CSC identify a
series of SQL queries that were causing the
bottleneck. In addition, CSC utilized
Intercept Studio throughout their QA stage,
helping to reduce test cycles for use cases
from three days to one day.

an emulator to the ERP solution in order to
provide company-wide access to its data. The
complexity of this application required long
hours spent on isolating and diagnosing the
root cause of problems. Elisra selected
Intercept Studio to automate problem
detection and diagnosis, with the result
being dramatically reduced time to problem
resolution.

portal experiences nearly a million hits per
day, it was critical that MSNBC select a
monitoring solution that would not impact
system performance. AVIcode’s low overhead,
in production monitoring capabilities were
an ideal fit to provide proactive health
status information to MSNBC.

Research Council
NSERC is the national instrument for
making strategic investments in Canada’s
capability in science and technology. NSERC
supports both basic university research

TyMetrix selected Intercept Studio to
help ensure 24/7 availability of its
web-enabled e-billing application. Because
the system was customer-facing and critical
to their business, TyMetrix required
real-time, in-production monitoring which
only AVIcode could deliver.
Within three months of deploying
Intercetp Studio, Xceed Technologies, a
leading provider of intelligent network
analysis and post processing products to the
multimedia wireless industry, reports
execution time for its own software
applications has been cut in half.
"Intercept Studio has helped find the exact
cause of delays, which allows our developers
to fine tune the application, supporting
databases, and the queries for better
performance," says Xceed CEO Bary Azmi.
Mr. Azmi notes that Xceed's clients
demand enormous amounts of data at their
fingertips, which presents a significant
challenge since application performance is
in part dependent on how much data a user
queried. AVIcode's Intercept Studio helped
Xceed uncover application components that
were not performing optimally, and provided
all of the information the company needed to
eliminate those performance bottlenecks and
streamline their application.
