A Fortune 500 multi-service broadband communications company serving approximately 6.3 million customers nationwide is the nation's fourth largest cable television provider. Consistent gains in market share and a realistic forecast for sustained growth led this provider to seek a strategic tool that would enable it to more efficiently collect and analyze data from its two data centers and seven remote locations.
