OpTier announced availability of OpTier APM for PeopleSoft environments.
Enabled through new support for the Tuxedo platform, this support brings PeopleSoft users end-to-end visibility into their PeopleSoft environments and diagnostic capabilities that will accelerate deployments, upgrades and ongoing change management throughout the PeopleSoft application lifecycle.
OpTier’s ability to provide production-ready, low-overhead tracking using its patented ACT (Active Context Tracking) technology enables PeopleSoft customers to track each transaction across the entire infrastructure. It gives full visibility where time is spent – from the end-user response time to relevant individual SQL statement impact on the backend database through the web server network latency. This provides customers with the power to quickly identify and isolate issues within a PeopleSoft environment, and understand whether the root cause lies in the Web, JEE, Tuxedo, Oracle or any other application connected to the PeopleSoft environment.
OpTier APM’s transaction-driven approach and ability to pinpoint performance problems can help PeopleSoft customers:
- Successfully deploy PeopleSoft applications across their enterprise
- Manage PeopleSoft upgrades without impacting performance on live systems
- Assist in Change Management by evaluating the potential risk and business impact of making a change
- Use application mapping to deliver valuable information for PeopleSoft auditing
- Identify single points of failure for Incident and Problem Management, and to aid in disaster recovery planning with OpTier’s transactional approach that keeps data in context
"Oracle’s PeopleSoft applications, whether for HR, Finance, or supply chains are required to address complex business requirements that, by nature, span the enterprise,” said Amir Alon, CTO at OpTier. “With the end-to-end transaction visibility and diagnostics in OpTier APM, customers will have the unique capability to significantly reduce the time it takes to isolate and troubleshoot issues in their PeopleSoft environments, making problem resolution faster, cheaper and easier."

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 ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 23, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses the NetOps labor shortage ...
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 ...
