BlogWe used to ask: how is my infrastructure performing? Then we began inquiring about the application. But in the digital business era what really matters is: how are users experiencing my service? Technology is having a profound impact on how we empower employees, work with partners, and support our customers. IT is no longer just a support function. It's a differentiator for business and the driver of digital experience.
