SHARE COVID-19 accelerated digital transformation projects worldwide, on average three times faster compared with other years. However, the rapid speed of innovation created additional complexities and forced information technology professionals to reevaluate their entire IT stack. AppDynamics, a Cisco Systems Inc. company, dove deeper into this concept known as full-stack observability in its latest Agents of Transformation 2021 report released Tuesday, which gauges how organizations are managing soaring IT complexity post-COVID-19. AppDynamics surveyed 1,050 IT professionals in 11 markets, including the U.S., U.K., Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Japan, Russia, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates. The respondents, consisting of chief information officers, board-level directors and senior to midlevel IT management, work in various industries, such as financial services, retail, manufacturing, automotive and the public sector. This follows a previous report AppDynamics conducted at the onset of the pandemic to understand the immediate impact of COVID-19 on IT.
