David Messina, VP Marketing and Product Management, Xangati If you applied Darwin’s theory of natural selection or ‘survival of the fittest’ to the business world today, nowhere would it be more appropriate than in the financial industry.

Survivor VDI Music (Enjoy listening to the Survivor Song, Ancient Voices, while reading the blog) One of our

David Messina, VP Marketing and Product Management, Xangati An old Italian proverb says, “From listening comes wisdom.” By listening carefully – really listening – you can learn a great deal. Listening helps us increase our understanding of another person’s motivations and needs – knowledge that can make us more effective on a personal as well as business level. Xangati has been on the road the past few months, speaking at regional and local VMWare User Group (VMUG) chapter meetings across the country. We’ve done some talking, of course, but also a lot of listening. Some of what we’ve heard is

David Messina, VP Marketing and Product Management, Xangati Much like BMC’s announcement with McAfee yesterday, today’s Xangati announcement signals yet another bridge built within the enterprise – but this time between the service desk and the end-user themselves. By bringing these unlikely collaborators together and eliminating the visibility gaps inherent when network performance issues arise, enterprise organizations can not only resolve technology issues more quickly but significantly increase productivity of both parties and reduce IT costs through greater efficiency. The technology alliance forged with BMC Software, along with general availability of the new Xangati Virtual Trouble Ticket (VTT) for BMC
