True Digital User Experience Management

For over two decades, Advanced Integrated Solutions has worked with hundreds of Fortune 500 and 1000 companies and a plethora of state, local, and Federal government entities to help their CIO’s, IT Directors and Managers design and implement reliable enterprise system management solutions to ultimately achieve one thing – to provide a reliable and positive digital experience for the community of users IT is supposed to serve. The reality of our collective efforts, thousands of man-hours and millions of dollars spent, is at best a C+ in terms of results.  While we touted technology, technology was the very thing that prevented us from truly succeeding in our efforts to provide a truly positive digital user experience for our customers. 

With the advent of Dynatrace, technology is finally able to help us fulfill the goals of monitoring, managing, and maintaining our end users’ digital experience.  Dynatrace not only manages the traditional applications and infrastructures that many companies still rely upon, but it also elegantly handles the complexities of hybrid and pure cloud environments, is a cloud-based SaaS solution, and employs artificial intelligence to dynamically adjust to changes in infrastructure and applications.
