Quote, attributed to Christina Long, Sales Manager, 1st Advance Ltd.
“SMEs are being tasked to support IT services that are much more sophisticated than in the past. EYE NPE affords our customers enterprise-class management functionality generated from a tried and true enterprise network management product from an established vendor. 1st Advance is always searching for the best IT solutions for our customers and we are excited to be able to offer Entuity’s EYE NPE as an alternative to SolarWinds.”

Quote, attributed to Peter Licursi, Vice President Global Sales at Entuity
“Mid-tier IT organizations rely on the same IT technologies for end-user productivity and efficiency as their large enterprise counterparts, but lack the comparable management resources. 1st Advance plays a critical role in enabling SMEs to cost-effectively implement automated, accurate network management to maximize their IT infrastructure and ensure high levels of end-user performance. 1st Advance can now equip their customers with EYE NPE, an enterprise-class management solution, at a fraction of the cost of existing less functional products.”
