Leading Independent Research Firm Confirms that Lumeta’s IPsonar Reduces Network Risk While Providing Rapid Return on Investment
Somerset, NJ–July 23, 2007 - Lumeta, the leading provider of network assurance solutions for enterprises and government agencies, today announced the publication of TheTotal Economic Impact™ of Lumeta IPsonar®, a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Lumeta.
Forrester Consulting found that those organizations that had deployed Lumeta’s IPsonar can significantly reduce their network risk exposure for a number of threats, including theft of proprietary data and intellectual property, network outages, worm outbreaks and audit penalties. The study also showed that customers realize significant quantifiable business benefits and positive return on investment.
Forrester conducted in-depth interviews with network security staff in an organization currently using IPsonar and found:
- Three-year risk-adjusted ROI of 85%
- Breakeven point (payback period) of 15 months after implementing IPsonar
- Reduction of exposure to specific risks as a result of gaining greater understanding of network facts
- Avoided cost of manual network discovery that is automated with IPsonar
According to the study, “In conducting in-depth interviews with a Lumeta customer that has implemented IPsonar, Forrester found that the company achieved significant benefits in the area of reduced exposure to specific categories of risk, including theft of proprietary data and intellectual property, network outages, worm outbreaks, and audit penalties.” With respect to risk-adjusted monetary benefit, Forrester Consulting forecasts the company realizing in excess of $2.3 million over a three-year period with very realistic additional upside from business events like major network migrations, IPv6 upgrades, major operating system upgrades and enterprise application deployments where IPsonar plays a significant role.
