Easy-to-use performance tools with a consistent user interface across HP operating systems

Hewlett-Packard Journal, June, 1991 by Rex A. Backman

Conclusion

Market acceptance of the HP GlancePlus family has been favorable. The paradigm that previously existed for performance diagnostic tools was one of expensive products that were difficult to use and understand. This has now changed as Hewlett-Packard customers can use these new inexpensive and easy-to-use offerings. A successful first step has been taken to provide intuitive performance diagnostic tools.

Acknowledgments

The HP GlancePlus products have been a true team enterprise from the beginning. The performance technology center's Gerry Wade and Paul Primmer were the original proponents of bringing performance tools to all levels of Hewlett-Packard customers. Technical assistance was provided from several sources in the PTC Lab. Software engineering contributions were made by Richard Santos, Jim Knoop, Doug Grumann, Terri Csete, and Marie Weston. Project management under Joe Thomas deserves a special mention; it was his focus on customer satisfaction and quality that kept the development team focused on providing quality tools for our customers.
