Fragmented Intelligence

Aging Portal
Flagship APM Portal required a facelift, improved user experience, and feature enhancements
No Mobile Footprint
No mobile apps for on-the-go access to application performance data
Acquired Complexity
Multiple acquired companies needed to be unified into a single coherent platform

One platform, total visibility

I led a 15-person global design team across the US, Europe, and China to unify Dynatrace’s acquired companies into a single APM intelligence platform. As part of an ongoing initiative, the design of the APM Portal was managed, improved, and tested by our UX team — using customer feedback and beta testing programs to ensure solutions met real user needs. We launched the company’s first native iOS and Android mobile apps, giving customers on-the-go access to application performance data. Through ethnographic research, persona development, and Design Studio sessions, we established product visions and mobile strategy across all divisions.
