Monitors Performance and Availability of Hospital's First Web Applications
from the "Outside-In"



LEXINGTON, Mass., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Gomez, Inc. (www.gomez.com), the
leader in Web application experience management, today announced that El
Camino Hospital has deployed Gomez's Web performance monitoring solutions to
ensure the performance and availability of two recently launched Web
applications - its public Web site and its physician application site.

Nationally recognized as a leader in technology adoption, Silicon Valley-based
El Camino Hospital's new public Web site serves as its online "front door" to
patients, physicians and its community and garners over 2000 visits a day. Its
new physician application site handles the submission and credentialing of new
doctors. Both Web applications mark the first phase of El Camino Hospital's
strategy to create and deliver new Web portals to better serve its community.

By deploying Gomez, El Camino Hospital is able to monitor the performance of
these two Web applications from the "outside-in" using measurement nodes
across California. This enables it to track how fast and available its sites
perform from the perspective of its end-users throughout the state. If
performance drops below acceptable thresholds, El Camino Hospital receives
alerts with granular detail about the problem and its root cause, enabling the
hospital to quickly address the issue before end-users are impacted.
Additionally, given its plans to develop more online services, the hospital
now has a baseline of its Web performance against which to measure performance
optimization.

"El Camino Hospital has a reputation for adopting state-of-the-art technology
that benefits our patients, staff and community. So ensuring that our new Web
applications perform well was at the heart of our strategy from the outset,
"said Greg Walton, CIO of El Camino Hospital. "Deploying a professional
solution like Gomez helps us verify and improve the quality of our online
services for all end-users. This not only protects our investment in our Web
strategy but also our reputation."

"It's rewarding to see a leading healthcare provider take Web performance so
seriously," said Matt Poepsel, Gomez's VP of Performance Strategies.
"Hospitals like El Camino Hospital understand that online services can augment
operations and productivity in a cost-efficient and brand-enhancing way - and
that delivering quality Web performance plays a critical role in its success.
By using Gomez's Web performance monitoring solutions, El Camino Hospital is
proactively ensuring that its Web applications run at top speed and
availability."
