Integrated Research is Australian company founded in 1988 which provides performance monitoring and diagnostics software solutions for business-critical computing environments around the globe.

The company was founded by Steve Killelea, the brainchild behind the Global Peace Index. Having stepped down as chief executive in November 2004, he remains as chairman of the company.

Overview
Headquartered in Sydney, the company has over 140 employees located in its offices in the USA, UK, Germany and Australia. With customers in more than 50 countries, PROGNOSIS users include the world's largest bank, stock exchange, airline manufacturer and telecommunications companies.

"EMA interviewed a number of PROGNOSIS customers in order to determine if they had been able to realize rapid time-to-value and low total cost of ownership. In all cases, the answer was an enthusiastic ‘yes’, which leads EMA to recommend Integrated Research solutions to anyone in IT that demands significant, rapid value for their IT investment dollars, at a low total cost."

PROGNOSIS is sold and supported through Integrated Research sales offices and via a global, channel-driven distribution network consisting of resellers, systems integrators and service providers.

Its customers include IBM, BHP Billiton, MasterCard, Dell, AT&T, Target and Verizon.
