Tango/04 announced Version 8 of its flagship monitoring solution.
Tango/04 pioneered the Agile Service Management concepts in 2007 to allow companies to deploy certain ITIL processes in a rapid and agile manner. This version simplifies Event Management and Continual Service Improvement, helps to improve user experience, and proactively detects any degradation or suspicious activity at the business level.
It also introduces ThunderCloud, a scalable Business Service Management (BSM) back-end that allows rapid and universal access to monitored information; builds upon its Holistic Monitoring concept by improving the ability to show key indicators through attractive, real-time dashboards; and adds a completely new Web Client, plus dozens of new features across the board.
It is also faster and sports an improved Real-Time Service Model (RTSM), a concept that Tango/04 also pioneered, devoted to rapidly modeling service dependencies and relationships for accurate root cause detection and business impact analysis.
Tango/04 software is in use in several of the twenty largest banks in the world and has a strong foothold on the insurance business as well.
Typical uses of Tango/04 products include BSM, SLM, Security Event Management/Regulatory Compliance, Business Process Monitoring, Data Consolidation Monitoring, Branches Management and Infrastructure Monitoring.
