Dynatrace and Microsoft enable dynamic organizations to accelerate their digital transformation powered by cloud observability and security, and enhanced by AI. By leveraging our advanced cloud analytics and automation platform, organizations increase efficiency, unlock new business value, optimize cost, and enhance productivity. This enables innovators to modernize and automate cloud operations, deliver software faster and more securely -  overall creating competitive advantage and empowering each organization to achieve more.

Enterprise Strategy Group research reveals that tool sprawl is the key barrier to business alignment, with companies using an average of 8-12 observability tools. The resulting data silos prevent AI-driven platforms and IT admins alike from gaining the context necessary to make business-aligned decisions, resulting in manual task overload and a cloudy overview of one’s hybrid environment.

This webinar brings together Torsten Volk, Enterprise Strategy Group Principal Analyst, with experts from Dynatrace and Microsoft to explore strategies for simplifying observability across hybrid cloud environments. 

Register now to transform your observability from siloed to unified and to discover how:
• Unified observability becomes a competitive advantage 
• The Azure-Dynatrace integration accelerates digital transformation 
• AI-driven automation benefits IT Operations in 3 areas
• To implement observability strategies that scale with business demand

Simplifying Hybrid and Cloud Management with Dynatrace and Microsoft: Strategies for Modern Businesses

Cloud has long been established as a mature production approach to application and data hosting, but two things are certain: it is anything but simple and anything but static. New applications are constantly being developed, deployed and updated, and AI has become a major agent of change. Now more than ever, keeping your environment running and secure requires tireless focus.

But while all this change brings new challenges, it also presents opportunities to bring together operational security objectives and practices. During this discussion led by Jim Frey, Principal Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, you’ll discover which technical outcomes are generating the most excitement and how you can overcome key challenges in delivering effective observability.

Watch the webcast now to learn how you can integrate observability, AI and security to reduce risk and improve your end user experience.

Next-Gen Cloud Management: Integrating Observability, AI and Security

Enterprise Strategy Group research tells us that 54% of organizations recently surveyed expect to advance generative AI (GenAI) into production this year.
