LandAmerica Selects Netuitive to Optimize IT Operations

RESTON, VA, Sep 30, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- LFG | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Netuitive, the leading provider of self-learning performance management software, today announced LandAmerica Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: LFG), a leading provider of real estate transaction services, has selected Netuitive to gain real-time understanding of application and service health and to ultimately manage their enterprise systems in a more proactive, efficient and effective way. This choice demonstrates the value of Netuitive's technology in an economy where organizations are trying to cut operational costs and maximize current IT investments.

"LandAmerica's challenge is similar to what many other companies are facing today: needing to do more with less," said Nicola Sanna, president and CEO at Netuitive. "The only way to remain resilient and continue to derive value from previous technology investments is to invest in solutions that can self-learn and optimize the performance of existing legacy systems."

LandAmerica is in the process of centralizing its title and escrow systems through a strategic initiative called Project Link. The goal of this initiative is to streamline processes and increase operational efficiencies by moving from a distributed regional approach to an enterprise implementation, where it can view, monitor and manage its centralized systems from a single, unified dashboard. Netuitive supports this initiative by giving LandAmerica a real-time perspective on application and service health relating to all currently active applications and systems. Netuitive's self-learning, automated technology will help LandAmerica manage IT proactively through advanced, forecasted warnings of incidents, degradations, and outages.

"With Netuitive, we can do more with the manpower and management systems we already have," said Ken Meszaros, vice president of Global Networks at LandAmerica. "Given the state of the real estate market, LandAmerica must run an efficient IT department to maintain our competitive edge. This means putting in place solutions that can automate most of the tasks associated with managing the performance of applications and services -- and do so at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods."

LandAmerica evaluated several competing products and selected Netuitive for a number of reasons, including:

-- Netuitive's smart, self-learning approach. Netuitive is the only company offering performance management products that replace human guesswork with automated mathematics and analysis. LandAmerica views this ability to automatically correlate and determine normal system behavior as a huge differentiator for the company during its evaluation period. -- Netuitive's graphical interface and ease-of-use. Netuitive provides an unprecedented level of visibility from a graphical perspective. According to LandAmerica, the Netuitive out-of-box experience was unmatched. The product proved simple to configure and manage, allowing any non-technical user to navigate and utilize the interface. -- Netuitive's comprehensive view of the enterprise. Netuitive provides a normalized and unified view of LandAmerica's infrastructure and service health, taking into account tools and solutions from third-party vendors. Netuitive pools information into one, overlying dashboard that automatically captures, integrates and correlates data from any disparate source. Netuitive's ability to accurately report on an overwhelming amount of data -- in real time -- was an important deciding factor for LandAmerica.

LandAmerica joins an impressive list of more than 250 Netuitive customers, which includes the world's two largest banks, the U.S.'s two largest telecom companies and second largest retailer, and large government agencies such as the U.S. Air Force.
