TrueSight captures real-world metrics on application performance for every user and facilitates rapid resolution of any problems.”

“We selected Coradiant because it had direct knowledge of Blackboard and was the only turnkey solution available on the market. It was extremely easy to get up and running. We literally unpacked the box at noon and were collecting data by 3 p.m.,” said Nick McClure, lead systems programmer at the University of Kentucky. “Now if a student or faculty member calls with a problem, we can get the data needed to restore performance. That saves us a lot of time and cost.”
