IT Governance
Which dashboards are you using ?
The governance of IT performance and costs can be classified into five levels: from "Chaos" (or lack of control) up to "Value" reserved for critical computing. And you, what level of control do you implement?
Faced with the need to meet the objectives of IT productivity, most companies have implemented the "REACTIVE" level to control the availability of access networks, servers and applications. The transition to a higher level is justified by the implementation of business-critical applications, such as ERP or a platform for e-commerce. No wonder that banks have reached the "Value" level considering the importance of the banking network in their daily activities.
Plethora of tools and measurement technologies
Anyone responsible for setting up dashboards, is first confronted with a plethora of tools ranging from "small" highly specialized software (free download from the Internet) to "bloatware" whose pricing study is already a project by itself.
The choice of measurement technology is also important according to the objectives and acronyms abound: active measurement, passive measurement, RUM, etc. ...
Lack of time
Once the technical platform has been chosen, you must set up an organization responsible for operating the measurement system and make it evolve to avoid rapid obsolescence. Not so easy to mobilize time of your production team to measure the production!
How to interpret ?
Finally, assuming that the right tools and measurement technology are in place and properly operated, the interpretation of measurements requires a baseline and knowledges (benchmarking) difficult to acquire internally.
In conclusion, we believe that evolving needs for Governance and dashboards validate a measurement service outsourced to a trusted third party that will deliver appropriate measures and update them regularly. In addition to the benefits of a SaaS approach, Alaloop's expertise is allowing you to control your IT in an effective and profitable way .
Visual monitoring of application
New test for the user experience (QoE)
Thanks to advanced graphics user interface (GUI) recognition, Alaloop can visually monitor the performance of your applications on the exact same conditions as your users ....
Alaloop implements a new framework developing scripts for performance measurement and monitoring of SLA application. Besides taking into account traditional keyboard input and mouse movement, the originality of this framework is the direct integration of screenshots of the application in the test script combined with the high performance of the graphics recognition.
 Thus, the logic of the test script is completely analogous to an user that sollicates an application (information input from the keyboard and / or validation with the mouse) and would wait for information to display on it's screen.
"The implementation of this new framework demonstrates both the willingness and ability of Alaloop to integrate new measurement technologies"
