System Health Check for Windows NT

System Healthcheck is the quickest, most cost-effective way to identify security and performance problems -- before they affect your customer's critical business operations.

Advanced, expert system-based tools are used to collect information on your customer's system or LAN configuration. The collected data is analyzed against accepted practices, and the findings -- together with recommendations for corrective action -- are documented in a summary report. A technical specialist reviews and discusses these findings with your customer.
