PaymentOne Expands Use of ProactiveNet

ProactiveNet Scales with Leading Online Payment Service Provider

SANTA CLARA, CA, July 26, 2006 - ProactiveNet, Inc., the time-to-value leader in Business Services Management (BSM), today announced that PaymentOne, one of the world’s fastest growing online Payment Service Providers, has expanded their use of ProactiveNet’s award-winning BSM solution. Initially deployed in 2002, ProactiveNet was selected based on its real-time performance monitoring and data analysis capabilities. Since that time, the amount of monitored devices has more than doubled. ProactiveNet tracks the end-to-end IT infrastructure, which supports millions of transactions and billions of dollars of e-commerce, and all the equipment in the disaster recovery center.

“We use ProactiveNet on every production device in the data center, including customer-facing applications, internal email servers, switches – everything,” said Carl Bralts, Director, Network Engineering & Computer Operations, PaymentOne. “The solution is a director’s best friend. It tells me proactively if something’s going wrong before it becomes a real issue, and it tells me where to look if there is a problem. It’s saved a lot of grief.”

PaymentOne’s advanced “No Credit Card Required” payment and marketing services increase digital merchant revenue by 15%-45%. PaymentOne’s flagship PhoneBill service enables consumers to simply charge digital services to their existing phone and broadband bills, without having to disclosure sensitive private financial or credit card information. The PaymentOne Carrier Network ™ (PCN) provides a single integration point and direct access to over 150 million billable consumers across more than 1000 network operators. PaymentOne clients have generated over $2 billion in incremental revenues and have acquired millions of new subscribers previously unreachable.

“If there’s a potential problem somewhere in the infrastructure that could affect the end user experience, we will know about it and fix it before it ever impacts our customers,” continued Bralts. “When you’re doing business online, reliability is a powerful motivator for your customers. As digital commerce expands and our customer base continues to rapidly grow, we plan to keep using ProactiveNet as one of the important elements of our overall IT infrastructure strategy.”

ProactiveNet works by automatically learning the normal performance behavior of every monitored entity across the end-to-end infrastructure, and can thereby solve difficult challenges like brownouts or intermittent problems. If performance degrades, ProactiveNet sends actionable alerts that help IT staff find and fix the anomaly before SLAs or end users are impacted. This capability virtually eliminates irrelevant alerts, so IT can focus on issues that threaten business services delivery. ProactiveNet’s patented service analytics engine also provides the unique ability to link SLA performance data directly to the performance of the IT infrastructure in real-time.

“PaymentOne is a strong example of a ProactiveNet customer leveraging the flexibility and scalability of our technology to better serve its expanding base of customers,” said Ajay Singh, president and CEO of ProactiveNet. “We’re pleased to be working with the company as they are truly deserving of their industry recognition and rapid growth.”
