ISOdx is a forensic software tool that enables organizations to resolve
technology support issues faster than ever before. Our customers include
independent software vendors (ISV’s), managed service providers (MSP’s) and
original equipment manufacturers (OEM’s). By using ISOdx, our customers have
reduced their Mean Time To Resolution (MTTR) by 92% while simultaneously
improving Customer Satisfaction by over 300% and realizing a 100% Return on
Investment (ROI) in six months or less. ISOdx is the only solution that
enables technology support organizations to improve their efficiency,
effectiveness and customer satisfaction by capturing point-in-time snapshots
of their customer’s IT ecosystems and applying customized analytics to resolve
issues faster than ever before.

ISOdx 4.3.2 was released in Q3 of 2011 and includes new functionality that
allows seamless integration with any IT Help Desk Ticketing System by
leveraging the ISOdx standardized Application Programming Interface (API) /
Software Development Kit (SDK). With this new functionality, the ability to
access the forensic information captured by ISOdx is made transparent to the
end-user taking the support call; they can use the same ticketing system they
have always used to access the forensic information critical to resolving
issues faster and improving customer satisfaction.

The genesis for developing our API/SDK is rooted in the quarterly “product
road map” conference calls that we conducted earlier this year. The calls are
structured as a collaboration with our customers and we encourage their input
and feedback on the product enhancement plans that the ISOdx engineering team
presents. During these calls, our customers indicated that value of the
forensic information captured by ISOdx could be increased by providing
alternative access methods, in addition to the standard ISOdx web interface.
We worked with our customers to develop a high-level design for the API/SDK,
specifically identifying what functionality would be required for the first
phase of the enhancement that would be delivered in ISOdx 4.3.2. After
completing the high-level design, the ISOdx engineering team was able to
complete the detailed design, development, testing and deployment in
approximately 3 months. We partnered with one of our customers to conduct
a “beta” implementation of the API/SDK, and during the thirty-day beta period,
the API/SDK performed flawlessly – not a single bug was identified.

From a technical perspective, the ISOdx API/SDK has been developed using the
most current, proven methods available for large-scale, enterprise solutions.
The API adheres to standards similar to Google Data and leverages the Atom
Syndication Format, the Atom Publishing Protocol, XML & REST. The SDK is
developed in PHP and is a self-documenting development kit that allows our
customers to build proprietary, customized interfaces to the API.

The first customer to use this new functionality has successfully integrated
ISOdx with their Remedy ticketing system and has realized significant benefits
as a result of this combination in less than three months (refer to supporting
documentation from this customer for details on the benefits derived).
