Case Study: The Blue Book Building & Construction Network achieves 24x7x365 website performance and rapid issue resolution with SmartBear AlertSite

SmartBear AlertSite Monitors Websites and Generates Alerts to Identify Performance Issues and Accelerate Root-Cause Analysis

The Blue Book Building and Construction Network, owned by Contractor’s Register, is the largest commercial construction industry network, connecting contractors, suppliers, architects and owners for more than 100 years. Because its web applications are the primary communications interface for members, the organization needed reliable, 24x7 monitoring to detect slow pages or outages immediately—while relying on a relatively small IT staff.

After testing three tools, they selected SmartBear AlertSite for synthetic, real-browser monitoring from multiple U.S. locations. AlertSite provides instant mobile alerts, historical performance reports and root-cause drilldowns, helping the team pinpoint issues (including a DNS problem), avoid an unnecessary west-coast data center investment, and maintain continuous site performance for roughly 20,000–35,000 weekly visitors and about one million weekly page views.
