Guidewire Performance Management Guide

Insurance organizations are constantly replacing legacy systems and practices with streamlined ones that help them compete better. In the area of billing, policy and claims management, Guidewire is broadly adopted. However:

* Rollouts are complex and delicate and require a thorough analysis of identifying impacted systems and stakeholders
* Implementations require understanding improvements that can be made to existing systems that Guidewire will need to integrate with
* Complete end-to-end performance visibility of Guidewire deployment is necessary for IT to ensure 24/7 performance and availability

10 Reasons Why Developers Need Application Performance Monitoring

In today's business world, user expectations for application performance are incredibly high. This comes at a time, when, from a developer's standpoint, challenges are constantly growing.

In particular, developing business applications today is more complex than when a single application ran on dedicated hardware with its traffic running over a corporate backbone network. Now, applications typically are comprised of multiple components, each running on different systems (virtualized, distributed, hybrid, and cloud) all interconnected using a variety of company-owned, public Internet-based, or even cellular networks.

To build such modern applications, developers could use some help. That is where application performance management (APM) solutions come in. Read this whitepaper to learn 10 ways developers can use APM to improve the quality and performance of their software.

Integrated Hardware Maintenance for Non-IBM Products

Storage, server and networking hardware, like people, have life spans. Like human adolescents, they need to be nurtured when they’re younger - with updates and refinements to maintain a healthy, productive life. Once these products reach midlife, their stability increases and the need for updates decreases. As the equipment ages, its performance may not be as optimal as it once was. However, with cost-effective support, it can still perform many useful functions. Tailoring maintenance to a piece of equipment’s lifecycle, in this manner, is a practical way to help extend its life and cut costs.
