Today, we’re happy to announce the addition of six new partners to the AppDynamics Integration Partner Program. Using Customer Feedback to Drive IPP Success In terms of off-the-shelf solutions, it became clear that there was a demand for integrated solutions in the testing space, or information technology service management (ITSM) tools, as well as solutions that enable automation of IT for maintaining hygenic procedures. As a result of this effort, we were able to drill down and rank order our priorities based on what our customers said were the most pressing IT problems. To that end, we launched independent research to inform our strategy and validate some of our hypotheses about customers’ needs. But with the IT landscape rapidly growing more complex, we couldn’t let our momentum distract us from ultimate goal: Stay close to our customers so that we continue to deliver the most value possible. The momentum behind the launch of IPP meant that in October 2019, we doubled the size of our integration partner ecosystem with partners including, but not limited to: HashiCorp (Consul), Atlassian, PagerDuty, Appvance (AI-driven testing), Signal Sciences (Web Application Firewall) and ServiceNow. Doubling the Size of Our Partner Ecosystem in Just a Few Months In our efforts to carefully curate an ecosystem of leading, customer-minded technology partners, innovative companies continue to approach AppDynamics and Cisco to join us in solving highly relevant and complex problems facing the enterprise today. We’re happy to report that the reception to the program in the marketplace has been incredibly positive. These partners help bring to life the “Visibility” and “Action” pillars of our CNS vision for delivering the broadest coverage and greatest impact across our customers’ complex, distributed environments. To further this mission, we aligned with like-minded companies with a passion for problem-solving, and we were delighted to bring on inaugural partners from Turbonomic, Harness, Apica, Atlassian Opsgenie, BigPanda, Evolven, Moogsoft, Virtual Instruments, now Virtana, and xMatters. With the CNS, we want to ensure all aspects of our customers’ IT landscapes can be monitored, proactively remediated, and continuously optimized so that their end users have the best digital experience possible. IPP has played a pivotal role in making the vision of the Cisco AppDynamics Central Nervous System (CNS) a reality. With IPP, our customers have a direct impact on the solutions we build and how we solve key challenges facing the enterprise today. That’s why, in June 2019, we launched the Integration Partner Program (IPP) alongside other leading technology companies. We want to make our customers incredibly successful.
