Key advantages of the PatchView installation Reduced downtime & mean-time-to repair Improved compliance with physical network security standard Accurate real-time visibility into the physical connectivity Simplified routine provisioning and maintenance Improved resource allocation and utilization 100% accurate real-time documentation

Quote: “Since the installation of PatchView, we have been able to focus on the important aspects of the job. Previously we spent most of the time and resources on trying to ensure that both the implementation and documentation of the critical Moves Adds and Changes (MAC) were accurate.  The process was cumbersome and the documentation unreliable to meet and fulfill the ever more stringent audit trails, not to mention the downtime.  PatchView has streamlined the process, the implementation and the documentation whilst reducing downtime and allowing time to focus on the planning and strategic thinking. Furthermore, the accuracy of our data has not only allowed for improved service to the client, but faster implementation of MACs and improved uptime due to the increased knowledge and information within our control.“ - Vice President, Technology Infrastructure -
