Company Offers Introductory Discount to New Monitoring Customers
San Diego - October 21, 2003 - WebmasterSolutions, a provider of performance testing and monitoring services for e-business, today announced that the Company has changed its name to Webmetrics, effective immediately. The name change is part of the Company`s overall strategy to more accurately reflect its evolution and focus within the web performance management market. Under this initiative, co-founder and former Chief Technologist Tim Drees will also begin serving as Webmetrics` Chief Executive Officer.
"Our new corporate identity signifies our commitment to delivering web testing and monitoring solutions to a broader audience of users," said Tim Drees, Co-Founder and newly appointed CEO. "As our business model and technology have matured, our customer base has become far more diversified. The name change represents our ability to deliver a comprehensive suite of web performance services appropriate for companies of all sizes, from all industries."
Profitable since its inception in 1999, Webmetrics has experienced significant, recent growth as more companies acknowledge the importance of testing and monitoring business-critical web sites and applications.
