A direct line can be drawn between the health of your IT services and customer satisfaction. In today’s competitive financial services market, high quality digital experience separates leaders from the rest.
Ever-increasing consumer expectations, the promise of ‘always-on’ digital services mean that customers have zero tolerance for poor digital experience, especially outages which render your services inaccessible.
The Challenge
Banking and finance IT environments are becoming more complex, awash with data that may contain hidden insights that could aid the avoidance of customer impacting outages.
IT teams typically use many different tools to understand the state of health of the infrastructure and applications that underpin the services their customers rely on day-to-day.
Inferring the health of key applications and services based on the monitoring outputs of these myriad tools, e.g., gaining the required
full stack observability, is increasingly challenging.
