BOQ's CIO of Finance, Peter Turnbull, said today that during a Proof of Value exercise over seven days, the selection was validated using live data taken from finance's systems, and within two days a number of IT metrics were on-boarded with the remainder of the time spent on-boarding metrics from key business services.

'IT professionals in general have to wade through a sea of operational metrics that are siloed across their technology portfolio. eMite has provided our teams with a platform that easily transforms this data into information which can be used in our day to day operations, and more critically, our strategic decision making.'

Turnbull said BOQ Finance had selected eMite as its service intelligence platform as it retools its operational environment, and he said that eMite's 'unique' data onboarding architecture, allowed it to leverage existing Microsoft skills within the organisation, 'thus lowering the overall cost of ownership.'

Out of the box adapters to Microsoft SCOM & VMware ESX were employed as well as industry standard SQL techniques, and Turnbull said this approach has seen BOQ Finance lower its reliance on eMite as a vendor and move rapidly to become self-sufficient with the platform.

eMite COO, Matt Elliott said the company's multi-dimensional service model was key in achieving the delivery of value within 30 days and enabling 'service visibility across a number of their key internal and external platforms.
