Dynatrace announced the launch of its Digital Game Changer Recognition Program. This new program will honor Dynatrace customers who are driving their company transformation through the use of application performance management (APM) and digital performance management. The first honorees will be recognized at the Dynatrace PERFORM Global User Conference on October 16, 2015 in Orlando, Florida.
Cloud and mobile are transforming business, driving APM into a new performance paradigm — digital performance management. Dynatrace is seeking performance leaders with the vision, commitment to excellence and passion for performance innovation to join the new leadership community shaping the future of our industry.
Do you or someone you know have the mind-blowing APM skills that fit the bill? An amazing professional who isn’t just fulfilling expectations, but taking APM to the next level to digital performance management — in other words, changing the game?
Nominate a Dynatrace expert today: North American nominations can be submitted here, and International nominations (EMEA, APAC, and LATAM) can be submitted here. The nomination deadline is October 1, 2015.
“Every day, we work with performance visionaries who are driving their organization’s shift to cloud and mobile. We created this program to recognize these digital game changers, bring them into the spotlight and give them a platform from which to share their leadership,” said Nicolas Robbe, CMO at Dynatrace.
The program will honor two categories of Game Changers:
- Digital Game Changers (mentors): Experts that have proven their mettle in the field, winning hard fought battles to transform their organization through DevOps, cloud and mobile. Game changers are seasoned experts, transforming tomorrow’s application performance landscape.
- Rising Stars: Passionate innovators who have shown a commitment to raising the bar and changing the game from day one. These digital natives are still early in their career and are poised to achieve great things. They’re building success by defining what’s possible in the digital performance arena.
The Digital Game Changer program is open to all Dynatrace customers, including those who are using Keynote and Ruxit solutions.

I've spent a lot of time in the channel, and one thing I keep coming back to is this: a partner program is only as good as what it looks like in the field. Many programs look great on paper, but when a partner is in front of a customer navigating a complex hybrid environment or trying to make the case for AI-powered observability, the gap between what a vendor promises and what it actually delivers becomes very clear, very fast ...
Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
