Heroix Recognized for Excellence in Customer Care.

NEWTON, Mass. -- Heroix (http://www.heroix.com), a leading provider of application performance monitoring software, was recently recognized for its customer service when Heroix Founder and CEO Howard Reisman was invited to deliver the keynote speech for the 2006 Storage & Systems Management Conference produced by ReedLogic. In the address, "Technical and Customer Care," Reisman described Heroix's approach to building strong customer relationships and laid out his vision for the industry.

"Many companies may have successful technology, but the reality of dealing with the company afterwards is less than pleasant, and that's not an effective model," said Reisman. "At Heroix, it is built into our culture to be very focused on the customer, and we have very close relationships with them. Our employees have greater longevity than at most software companies, so they are able to get to know our products, the industry and the customers quite well, which results in a much faster, more efficient conversation with customers to get to the root of their issues."
