Business processes are becoming increasingly dependent on composite applications, and it is essential for on demand businesses to maintain their availability and performance. At the same time IT organizations are finding that traditional systems management tools are unable to identify or diagnose the new types of performance problems that composite applications introduce to the environment.

Organizations that are embracing composite applications can realize substantial value in implementing an application management solution that is appropriate for their environment. These solutions can proactively recognize and prevent performance problems at the end user while improving IT staff productivity through simplified transaction management, deep-dive diagnostics and correlation.
