Thought Leadership Team

Oxford Economics

As computing environments become more complex, organizations will continue to grapple with gaining much-needed visibility into system performance.

Not only can observability save them money—eight hours of downtime monthly on average costs more than $1 million—organizations will be well positioned to deftly navigate the inevitable shifts in economies and business priorities.
