In 2024, simply having an observability practice is a given. In this era of observability, a high-functioning team will set leaders apart from their peers. Leading observability practitioners don’t fix issues by putting hundreds of people into a virtual room, or frantically messaging in a temporary Slack channel to find root causes. Because leaders embed observability into their development practices early, a feature launch is a quiet non-event.

Digital experience monitoring (DEM) is the evolution of application performance monitoring (APM) and end user experience monitoring (EUEM) into a comprehensive tool that analyzes the efficacy of an enterprise’s applications and services. Essentially, DEM combines these functions and goes beyond both — all to ensure consistency across the customer experience.

As IT costs continue to balloon, many organizations are caught between the desire to scale and the pressure to cut costs. It’s an incredibly delicate balancing act leaders struggle to maintain: while 66% of companies in one study said they plan to increase their IT budgets, 84% were worried about a recession, while 63% struggled to secure IT talent. By spending on infrastructure, organizations are forced to spend less on innovation. But what if there is a way to have both?

Gaining insights from your data requires more than collecting and analyzing metrics and logs. With the acceleration of customer and business demands, site reliability engineers and IT Ops analysts now require operational visibility into their entire architecture, something that traditional APM tools, dev logging tools, and SRE tools aren't equipped to provide. Observability enables you to inspect and understand your IT stack; but what is it, and how does it differ from IT monitoring?

Most IT organizations have adopted event management as a central practice to help find and fix what's broken, but today's tools focus on managing the volume of events-they do not deliver service context. Without context, you are ill-equipped to focus on the right problem at the right time. What you need is something different-something that makes IT events less eventful and more insightful-and now, you can finally do it!
