Apdex (Application Performance Index) Alliance Kicks off Webinar Series
Is your organization talking about SLAs but struggling with how to start? You need two things to make an SLA work–a service level management (SLM) approach, and a performance tracking methodology that supports your SLM approach. On Wednesday, May 12, at noon EDT, the Apdex Alliance will present a live webinar entitled “Service Level Management with Apdex.” Register for the webinar here. This webinar will help you transcend SLA confusion and start an SLM process.
SLM is the art and science of keeping application services running properly once in production. The key to successful SLM is to use metrics that are linked to the business. The Apdex (application performance index) methodology provides a key performance indicator (KPI) for each layer of a successful SLM approach.
Apdex is a numerical measure of user satisfaction with application performance. The standard converts many measurements into a single, easily understood number on a zero-to-one performance scale. In the webinar, Peter will describe how Apdex works, and will draw on examples from the Apdex community to explain how implementing the standard leads to better service level management.
