Modern application management delivers what customers want.

The competitive race to provide seamless, digital customer services has made IT the lifeline of the new digital organization. Modern IT teams work in lockstep with line of business owners, application developers, and DevOps teams to help manage application and services performance holistically. By doing so they can anticipate risks and proactively assess the impact of changes to ensure an uninterrupted customer experience.

IT environments are complicated.

Modern apps depend on an increasingly ephemeral IT ecosystem that is distributed across hybrid and multi-cloud and shared by other critical apps. App performance, therefore, can no longer be managed in isolation of the rest of the IT environment.

IT & app teams operate in silos.

IT is operating this complex environment unaware of its impact to mission-critical apps and services. When calamity strikes, both IT and app teams scramble within their silos, oblivious to the root cause arising on the other side.
