TekInsight.com Named Best Service Provider at System Builder Summit
BugSolver™ offers System Builders enhanced diagnostic capabilities
designed to reduce IT support time by up to 80%
IRVINE, Calif. - Oct. 13, 2000 - TekInsight.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: TEKS, TEKSW, TEKSP), a leader in developing, implementing and supporting Internet-based technologies, today announced that its product, BugSolver, was awarded a Peak Performer Award at the Fall 2000 System Builder Summit, a Gartner Group Vision Event. TekInsight was named Best Service Provider for its BugSolver application and recognized for its distinctive service that enhances system builders' business offerings.
TekInsight was honored for excellence and outstanding achievement in serving system builders. Award recipients were chosen from among the 220 system builders and 110 computer technology companies from the U.S., Canada and Latin America who attended System Builder Summit.
TekInsight was selected based on confidential surveys completed by system builders during the Summit. The Peak Performer Awards were presented to vendors in six categories including Best System Builder Program or Promotion, Best Overall Presentation, Best International Program or Promotion, Best Hardware Product, Best Software Product and the Best Service Provider Award.
"This is a great honor for TekInsight because the system builders who selected BugSolver over other products clearly recognized its value in providing cost-effective technical support for their systems," said Brett Martin, VP of Product Sales and Marketing.
BugSolver is a customizable problem reporting system designed to aid in the diagnosis and resolution of software or hardware application failures. BugSolver collects over 30,000 analytical data points at the time of a system failure, or on user command, and forwards the information to an Internet-based portal where the data is instantly available for review by a designated IT staff member. This enables instant, accurate resolutions to user or network issues without the need for user intervention. Because of BugSolver's ability to identify and capture complete system information, it can also serve as a dynamic asset management and migration analysis tool.
