Business Challenges

Applications are the face of your business and users have a multitude of choices. It only

takes a few seconds for a user to either accept or reject your app. The challenge is to make

your applications become the ones users stay with because they like the experience.

While impeccable performance is the key to a flawless end-user experience, there are

difficulties in ensuring great performance:

• Speed and complexity across the application delivery chain requires performance

management that can span across physical to virtual, on-premises to hosted components

and support new, modern application technologies.

• A wealth of data quickly becomes too much. Billions of metrics a day require new

approaches to visualization, and intelligent analytics to sift through the metrics and

identify the relevant variables.

• Mobile access can no longer be considered special and must be fully integrated into the

performance picture.

• Performance must be tested continuously, pre- and post-production, to ensure customer

satisfaction and retention.

Solution Overview

In a time when businesses are literally being rewritten by software, APM is necessary to

deliver a solution across the application lifecycle that is:

• Easy to deploy and manage with APM agents that get value in minutes.

• Proactive in identifying problems via automatic transaction traces and a unified end-user

view into every transaction—including mobile app, synthetic or web-based—to fix issues

before users are impacted.

• Intelligent in using APM big data to better understand your end users’ interactions with

your applications, from the mobile app and device all the way to the mainframe back end.
