More about the project

Intelligent Application Monitoring for modern SAAS-Solutions

The family-owned company EPLAN has been offering software and services for all aspects of engineering in the sectors of electrical engineering, automation and mechatronics since 1984. The solutions that EPLAN always develops according to the motto "Efficient Engineering" are used today by more than 58,000 customers worldwide. In order to continue the idea of Efficient Engineering, EPLAN has decided to supplement its solutions with a cloud variant. For the Cloud Security & Operations area, it is essential to know the status of its systems at all times and to be able to rectify potential problems quickly.

Therefore, Telekom MMS implemented a highly automated application performance monitoring solution based on Dynatrace, which is connected to EPLAN's self-developed monitoring framework. The integration of the new solution has increased the reliability, performance and usability of the monitoring system and ensured improved collaboration.

Monitoring for new SaaS-Solution

In rolling out a new software product, it's not enough to get off to a good start and then sit back and relax. Especially not if it is a SaaS solution that is being rolled out worldwide. After go-live, it is crucial for business success to keep a constant eye on the performance and usability of the solution. That is the only way in which improvements and optimizations can be achieved, and the only way to ensure a high level of product acceptance among users. Before launching its new solution, EPLAN was therefore looking for a modern, user-friendly monitoring solution that can make exactly this possible.

Solution

State-of-the-Art-Monitoring in the Sector of Security & Operations

To meet these requirements, Telekom Multimedia Solutions introduced a highly automated application performance monitoring solution based on the Dynatrace SaaS solution. EPLAN employees were also trained to ensure the smooth introduction and integration of the new solution.
Dynatrace is connected to EPLAN's own monitoring framework and embedded in the WebServices operated in the Azure Cloud. Dynatrace is also connected to the SecOps area of EPLAN and to Telekom Multimedia Solutions. Dynatrace automatically gives alerts in the event of anomalies or faults, so that "human monitoring" can subsequently take place. In the future, self-healing mechanisms (NoOps) are to be implemented.

Result

Monitoring is More Than Just Observing

Due to the modern application performance monitoring solution, EPLAN's Security & Operations team now knows the status of its systems around the world at any time of the day or night. Thanks to the automatically generated alerts, it can intervene immediately and in a targeted manner if there are problems or if there is a need for optimization.
In this way, the company ensures the safety and performance of its systems, the usability of its products and ultimately the satisfaction of its customers. With the new monitoring solution, EPLAN is fulfilling its motto of "Efficient Engineering" entirely.
