“It (Nodinite) offers plenty and is a very good product. We are looking forward to getting started with the repository model because it provides additional functionality. This will make it easier for us to get going with documentation.”

Nodinite monitors and generates log views of patient journals for veterinarians and lab files from radiologists. If an integration fails the IT department is notified. They can then use logs to see what triggered the alert. It is a quick way for NMBU to find out what has gone wrong and where. Alerts are often caused by synchronization errors between different systems.

Not all alerts raised by Nodinite monitoring NMBU’s system integrations in BizTalk are caused by human input or even by automatically generated data. With Nodinite the university has been able to spot faulty integration setups. Nodinite monitoring also provides transparency when an alert is created. This transparency leaves no doubt where integration messages fail and avoids a potential blame game.

NMBU plans to expand the of use Nodinite as a monitoring tool in the future. It is easy to install with great supporting documentation. One aspect the university particularly appreciates is the ability to access monitoring, logging, and repository information in the one and same location. As a bonus to this, Nodinite always shows the latest status of system integrations and the dashboard also allows for flexible viewing options.

One of the great features is the ability to delegate tasks and responsibilities. This can help alleviate often overburdened IT departments and is possible because Nodinite charges one license per business irrespective of number of users. When there is an opportunity in the future, NMBU’s IT department are considering delegating specific aspects of monitoring to support. This will allow the IT department to focus on core IT activities.
