Through automated and user-defined analyses of captured data, Manager enables users to generate and print over 30 custom reports for functions such as network provisioning and optimization, managing reseller accounts, verifying routing and billing, and strategic planning.

The new release will be distributed to Manager users currently under maintenance at no cost.
