Case Study | Osprey Consultancy Osprey Consultancy provides third and fourth level IBM (Lotus) Notes and Domino support through annual contracts to clients of various sizes spanning several industries.

The nature of annual contracts equals high opportunity costs if a project is not completed in a timely manner.
Difficulty in diagnosing after the initial troubleshooting by the client, since it was sometimes carried out based on unfounded assumptions, and gave rise to further issues.

Faster project delivery times by reducing the number of repetitive tasks.
Greater accuracy for large scale changes with databaseEZ’s verification process.
Increased focus on strategic thinking and other value-added activities using time gained.
Stronger business relationships forged by consistently providing quality work quickly.

"For me, databaseEZ and the rest of the Ytria toolset are priceless."

Situation where writing an agent to fix or undo things does not work.
Writing an agent daily, even if it’s in 15 minutes, results in many hours in the long run.
Agents that were written for a one time use may be left behind and accidentally activated in the future.
Difficult to update or modify inherited applications through Domino Designer.

Inspecting records, grouping them in batches and fixing all the various things that went wrong.
Faster solution since using scanEZ for a few minutes is less than the time required in writing an agent.
Facilitated ad-hoc reporting in scanEZ saves lots of time for database managers.
Updating design views with accuracy and consistency with viewEZ.

"Any self-employed developer should have scanEZ."

Case Study | Teradyne Fabrice Langlois, Notes Developer and IT Systems Architect at Teradyne, a world leader in test equipment design and manufacturing.

End users wait for weeks to solve basic requests because a design change in production is required to run the formula.
Some Notes tools lock up the Notes client or display pop-ups which prevent you from doing anything else.
Finding rogue agents required checking every database.

Significant increase in response rate to end user requests for basic things. They were completed in three hours with scanEZ instead of three weeks.
The ability to work independently of Notes since Ytria tools are standalone applications.
Days manual testing and validation saved with viewEZ for periodic major updates.
Recognition and a promotion for Fabrice Langlois.

"Having the Ytria tools furthered my career."
