As director of software development at Dartware, I am involved in the day-to-day process of listening to our customers, understanding what they really need and want from network monitoring software, and directing the development team to make sure high-priority needs and wants are met. We will soon release InterMapper 5.1, the latest result of these efforts by the development team. Some of the new features slated for InterMapper 5.1 include:

• Probe Groups
• Google earth integration
• SMS notifiers
• Database improvements
• More global device list actions
• Assorted smaller conveniences
• Grid layout
• Command-line import/export capabilities
• Insert icon
• Server logs preference pane
