How to make technology your strategic advantage

Siloed management and monitoring systems are becoming obsolete in the face of complex multi-cloud operations. To thrive, enterprise IT needs a quick, consistent and holistic approach to place it at the heart of value realization and enhanced business performance in line with accelerating digital change.

Find out how Dynatrace's end-to-end observability and business optimization platform can be your strategic advantage as a high-value business advisor.

Digital transformation has been a cross-industry hot topic over the past decade. It’s much more than a buzzword though, indicative of how businesses must continually evolve to stay relevant in the digital age. Our recent Global CIO Report revealed that 90% of technology leaders believe digital transformation has accelerated in the past 12 months — and over a quarter feel it will continue to do so.

These feelings of ongoing change are likely driven by the shift many have made to cloud-based business (with occasional return journeys made to on-premise for certain operations). It’s fair to say these multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud environments have opened the floodgates for more on-demand, secure business apps throughout every organization.

Just as the business app landscape has exploded, so too has the proliferation of tools needed to monitor and manage them.

At the same time, enterprise IT must change too — from being seen as merely a cost center to an enabler of tangible value. This means riding the pace of technology change, providing clear advice on where to go next to meet escalating customer and employee expectations in the digital space. Which requires in-depth knowledge of what’s currently happening across your technology landscape.

However, many businesses do not have the level of multi-cloud, multi-app digital skills and expertise at their fingertips to make this happen easily. Many teams continue to operate in silos, sometimes with different tools duplicating monitoring and management. This creates an overabundance of observability data without delivering tangible value to enterprise IT.

Our platform approach applies innate understanding of technology performance and its business impact, so you can manage and monitor all areas of your business technology estate from one place. This is enhanced by capabilities built around proactive automated responses and actionable insights.

The Dynatrace platform provides a unified view across fragmented observability operations, with the real-time data insight needed to respond to events as or even before they happen. This is augmented by intelligent automation that equips enterprise IT with quick access to performance understanding, as well as recommended actions, workflows, and answers.

We can also embed your security practices throughout software development lifecycle support to ensure your business can integrate with new technological advancements with confidence.

At the same time, there’s growing regulatory complexity across technology resilience, data security and sustainability. This is adding pressure already on enterprise IT to demonstrate tech ROI to the board, particularly at a time when zero-based budgeting approaches are gaining in popularity. The key to solving this challenge is a truly unified approach to tool standardization.

Achieving this will enable enterprise IT to have a direct, positive impact on business performance, productivity, and efficiency. But this requires commitment, to bridge the gap between technology and business. But how? Fortunately, Dynatrace is here to help.
