thoughts on business, service and technology operations and management in the digital transformation era

In this session, Lanir and I briefly talk about the third core component of a BTM solution which is Transaction Monitoring. This is an evolving area for Correlsense and Lanir shared that they are currently maturing their monitoring capabilities.

Hear about:

  • How BTM solutions should integrate and complement the typical existing IT management and monitoring architecture.
  • How proactive or predictive monitoring may be a part of a value focused BTM solution.
  • Start up partnering versus rolling your own.
  • How vendors will differentiate once they’ve solved the core discovery, tracing, tracking and stitching foundation with monitoring, analytics and intelligence capabilities.
  • How BTM solutions could enable end-to-end capacity and utilization planning, monitoring and management.

In our next podcast, I’d like to speak about the fourth core component of a BTM solution which is Transaction Analytics and Intelligence. I’d also like to chat about how BTM solutions may evolve to support emerging areas such as virtualization, cloud computing, mobile, web2.0, hyper-scale architectures and whatever else may pop up between now and then. Listen to our previous podcasts here, here and here.

If you have any feedback or comments on the topic of BTM for myself or Lanir please leave comments. If you’re a vendor, subject matter expert or practitioner in the area of Business Transaction Management (BTM) and would like to chat on a podcast, please feel free to contact me directly.

In this podcast, Lanir and I dive into the approach that Correlsense and their SharePath product takes for the second of four key areas that a Business Transaction Management (BTM) solution must incorporate which is Transaction Tracing, Tracking and Stitching.

Listen to the podcast for insight into the thoughts Lanir shares on these Transaction Tracing, Tracking and Stitching concepts (and more!):

  • Learn why transaction tagging may not be the best approach for transaction tracing and tracking
  • Hear about Correlsense’s innovative approach to tracing, tracking and stitching transactions
  • Listen to Lanir’s thoughts on why ARM is a great concept, could work if thoroughly deployed, and his opinion on why ARM never really took off
  • Why consulting, education and knowledge transfer between the vendor, monitoring tools group and key service and application groups (operations, application support/development) is critical to realizing the full value proposition of BTM
  • Learn about how the value proposition for BTM increases when extended to the end point using emerging End User Service Management (EUSM) or End User Performance Management (EUPM) solutions such as Aternity, Knoa, Serden and Coradiant
  • Why BTM solutions can fill the gap in your change, configuration, release management or CMDB strategy by providing the missing end-to-end logical components missing from most solutions today.

In our next podcast, Lanir and I will discuss the third core capability of a BTM solution which is Transaction Monitoring. Listen to our previous podcasts here and here.
