IT Network Data Consolidation and Visualization
NEPTUNE, N.J.--(Business Wire)--
Planet Associates Inc., the leading provider of Infrastructure Relationship
Management (IRM) software and services for Enterprise Networks, has recently
been awarded an ESI/SmartBUY BPA by the Department of the Navy for Planet IRM
software and associated services. The ESI BPA award is part of the DoD
Net-Centric Information Technology Asset Management (ITAM) initiative to gain
visibility across IT assets purchased by the Department and leverage the data to
enable smarter enterprise IT strategy and acquisition decisions. The addition of
GSA SmartBUY status allows all Federal Agencies beyond DoD to benefit from the
negotiated terms and discounted pricing.

"This award is an acknowledgement of DoD and GSA confidence in Planet IRM`s
current federal implementations and the desire to make our software easily
available," said William Spencer, President and CEO of Planet Associates. "The
need for critical infrastructure visibility is apparent, and Planet IRM has been
proven to increase oversight and facilitate more reliable asset management."

Planet IRM is designed to consolidate critical infrastructure information and
streamline IT operations through a single, centralized, visual data repository,
which improves operational efficiency and service levels, reduces network
disruptions and downtime, and provides the cohesion necessary for accurate and
thorough critical system analysis.
