Cost Reduction
With its agent-less architecture and ability to be rapidly and easily customized via a graphical drag and drop interface, startup and on-going incremental operational costs for Performance Surveyor are at virtually undetectable levels.
Because it installs above any existing customer implementations Performance Management tools, and is fully automated, your existing staff resources don’t need to spend any incremental time managing your Performance Surveyor implementation.
And, because Performance Surveyor saves your staff time by automating both the capacity reporting and performance analysis processes, significant cost-savings are rapidly and easily realized.

Performance Surveyor significantly cuts the costs associated with delivering standardized, and periodic application capacity analysis and reporting.
Assuming a conservative, fully-burdened cost of a seasoned performance analyst/capacity planner is $150,000 per year, or $2,884.62 per 40 hour week. (or $72.11/hour).
40 hours per month of this analysts time was spent delivering standard application capacity reports and analysis across just 10 applications, yielding a “cost” of $288.46 per application per month ($72.11 x 40 / 10), or $34,615 (12 x $288.46 x 10).
Because this analyst could reduce the time spent doing reporting from 40 hours to 3 hours per month, and accomplish this now across almost twice as many applications (from 10 to 18) – this reduced the “cost” per application analysis and report per month to $12.01 per application per month, or $2,595 per year.
Before Performance Surveyor: $34,615 per year
After Performance Surveyor: $2,595 per year
Savings: $32,020 per year
Cost reduction and productivity enhancement ROI of 92.5%
This was just one, relatively small customer experience. Imagine the savings for typical organizations with thousands of servers, hundreds of applications, and a typical staffing level of 4 to 8 personnel.
Testimonials
“Performance Surveyor really should live on top of all other toolsets that gather data over time. Your federation approach is excellent. The only other way to do any type of analysis and reporting like this across performance and business data, is to write a bunch of custom scripts or SAS® code, and cut and paste manually with a charting tool, like Microsoft Excel – but that takes forever, is expensive, won’t scale, and isn’t as flexible.”
