CA Technologies Application Performance Mgmt

In a time when businesses are literally being re-coded by software, applications have now become the face of your business. In the age of rapid adoption and rapid rejection, you have mere seconds to impress your app users. This is the reality of the App Economy. Despite the enormous complexity of today’s application delivery chain, your end-users expect a flawless app experience, regardless of how, when or where they access your app. This means app issues aren’t IT issues, they’re customer satisfaction and retention issues.
With the APM 9.7 release, CA introduces its E.P.I.C. APM strategy, a solution that creates a competitive advantage in the App Economy by proactively managing the user experience. E.P.I.C. APM delivers a solution that is Easy, Proactive, Intelligent and Collaborative (E.P.I.C.) across the application lifecycle. CA APM 9.7 is the first proof point in our E.P.I.C. APM Strategy, starting an E.P.I.C. trend that will build with each new release.

Many IT Operations teams and key stakeholders have visibility into the performance and availability of important infrastructure – networks, servers, databases and more - that all support their business critical applications. But very few have a good “Outside-In” view of the real world application performance – that is, what their customers and employees are actually experiencing on a web or mobile device.

Join Steve Perich - Senior Consultant, CA Technologies, for this session to learn why an “Outside-In” view of application performance is so critical to improving service quality, and how replicating every step of your user experience with cloud-based, always-on monitoring can give you a huge advantage in proactively ensuring a great end user experience 24x7 for your customers. You’ll also learn how you can verify that your SaaS vendors and managed service providers are meeting agreed SLAs that support your business and customer goals.

It’s Time to Impress Them

Mobile applications are becoming the face of your business. And the first impression means everything. But monitoring the user experience from the mobile device to the backend application infrastructure is extremely challenging. Do you really know what impression your apps are leaving?

Join Julie Craig of Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) along with Jonathan Lindo and Scott Edwards of CA Technologies to learn about the new trends in end-user experience within APM. Hear why mobile-to-mainframe transaction visibility is necessary in order to deliver the high-quality services your app customers expect.

In the age where applications reign supreme, your organizations must be agile in application performance management and app development in order to meet the market demands and stay competitive. Even with mature APM solutions, developer, test and operations teams are strained by operational complexity, accelerated release schedules, and big data challenges to quickly find the root cause of issues affecting end user experience.

The power of advanced analytics and data science can help us make the most of the vast cache of APM data we collect and help our DevOps teams supercharge user experience. It’s time to take some of the load off of our humans and let technology make it easier to focus on meaningful changes in user, application and system behavior. Analytics are becoming a valuable component of APM solutions to redefine triage, improve application quality, and delight the end-user.

Isn’t 30 minutes of your time worth a better night’s sleep knowing your app is doing what is supposed to do and keeping your customers happy?

Successful use of APM doesn’t happen by accident or wishful thinking. There are specific tasks and capabilities than an APM practice will establish and evolve in the course of becoming competent with the technology, as well as savvy with the philosophy and lifestyle of performance management. This session will discuss how we identify and harness KPIs to make sense of your APM "big data", and how these techniques will help to prepare for your upgrade to the new features and functionality with APM 9.6 and its tight integration with Advanced Behavior Analytics (ABA).

We have been validating analytic techniques for APM data and have found that using KPIs, directly from your managed environment, has a distinct advantage versus a generic set of metrics. This ensures that your analytics are farming meaningful data, and not getting distracted with excessive volumes of spurious metrics. And is a technique that you can apply today, as you begin planning for your upgrade tomorrow.

Users expect fast and reliable mission-critical applications. But older monitoring tools and the pressures of multi-platform, multi-tier applications can leave IT staff struggling to deliver optimal application performance or identify and solve problems quickly. Principled Technologies found that to keep up with today’s dynamic applications, IT administrators require application performance management (APM) tools with strong analytics capabilities. These tools help IT staff monitor how well each application performs on its various platforms. They zero in on the most useful metrics in an ocean of data and offer actionable intelligence on application performance issues. The ideal APM analytics solution effectively finds and automatically fixes issues, cuts downtime, ensures SLA compliance, and is simple to manage, so IT can deliver the high-quality service users demand. This ability can translate to a superior user experience and increased revenue.
