IT Analytics Solution

IT Analytics Solution software complements and expands upon the traditional
reporting that is offered in most Symantec solutions. It brings multi-dimensional
analysis and robust graphical reporting features to Symantec Management

advanced knowledge of databases or third-party reporting tools. It empowers
users to ask and answer their own questions quickly, easily, and effectively.
