"It is one thing to create the technology to monitor network performance, and quite another to present the data in a format that is meaningful to management. Net-Evidence has achieved this beyond the capability of any of its competitors" says Martin Butler in a recent Technology Brief.

Martin, who founded the well-respected Butler Research Group and then sold it to Datamonitor in 2005, now heads up Martin Butler Research (MBR). The new company focuses "Information Efficiency", providing straightforward and clear recommendations to executive-level clients on how best to reduce business costs and use IT resources effectively. In MBR's unique grid-based ranking system, Highlight scores the highest position - "potentially high output for a low level of input (cost)", as Butler puts it. The company also liked Highlight's implementation model, which requires no special training and lets user start small, with minimal outlay, and scale up as their needs grow.
