SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 24 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — AppDynamics, a part of Cisco, today released Agents of Transformation 2021:The Rise of Full-Stack Observability, the latest edition of its global research study, exploring the impact of the rapid acceleration of digital transformation created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the repercussions for global technologists. The findings reveal a dramatic increase in IT complexity caused by the need for urgent innovation – and the resulting technology sprawl. The research also validates a pressing need for full-stack observability with added business context to help technologists manage the IT estate, cut through the data ‘noise’ and observe what matters most to their business.
The shift to digital-first business models to weather the storm and minimize the commercial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, has placed technologists at the forefront of their organizations’ response. According to this research, this forced a 3X acceleration[1] of digital transformation projects. Unsurprisingly, technologists found themselves under considerable strain, with 89 percent[2] reportedly feeling under immense pressure at work and 84 percent[3] admitting to having difficulty switching off. Furthermore, many technologists expressed feeling frustrated about work (81 percent)[4] and experiencing increased levels of conflict with colleagues (63 percent).[5]
