CA Technologies is working with SAP to extend application-performance solution offerings and an application-performance services implementation package.
CA Technologies is also delivering a new offering called the CA Application Performance Management Rapid-Deployment Solution.
These offerings are expected to provide customers deeper monitoring insights with tested best-practice implementation services to deliver fast time to ROI.
SAP began reselling CA Introscope as the SAP Extended Diagnostics application by CA Wily in 2008, helping customers to gain increased visibility into their large and complex Java and .NET environments. CA Technologies and SAP are now cooperating to extend the solution with other application performance management tools, to be made available to SAP customers.
They anticipate that customers can gain even deeper insights that will help them to measure the performance and quality of Web-based, end-user transactions as an application traverses a network. By monitoring performance from the business process down to the transaction-component level in real time, customers may be able to identify, prioritize and resolve problems before end users are affected.
“By offering more of our Service Assurance solutions for use with SAP Extended Diagnostics, we expect that customers will be further enabled to provide their end users with higher-quality service,” said Mike Sargent, GM, Service Assurance, CA Technologies. “We anticipate that will translate into higher customer satisfaction and retention, and greater ability for customers to drive more revenue.”
With the CA Application Performance Management Rapid-Deployment Solution, CA Technologies intends to help companies get up and running quickly with SAP Extended Diagnostics and enable them to realize accelerated value.
CA Technologies plans to rapidly install and deploy the CA Application Performance Management Rapid-Deployment Solution with a predetermined, estimated time schedule and fixed-price implementation service.
It combines SAP software and content with additional services from CA Technologies, providing customers with information to help better manage application performance across physical, virtual and cloud environments throughout their lifecycle.
Capturing transaction performance data from problem sources — application, end-user and infrastructure — and using integrated end-user experience information to help reduce problem resolution guesswork is expected to further enable SAP customers to provide a high-quality experience for critical business services.

Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
