Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) is an adjacent area to infrastructure monitoring which focuses on measuring and optimizing the end-user experience with IT service. DEM looks at multiple facets of digital experience across a range of digital interfaces. This can be websites, mobile apps, or web applications, for example. DEM is how IT teams can put themselves in the shoes of users, in other words, understanding digital performance from their perspective. This enables teams to discover and fix issues proactively – before users call the hotline. Through DEM, teams also continuously track and analyze data to optimize user experience quality. In short, DEM is the key to productive employees and organizations—including yours.
DEM: an essential requirement for businesses across industries
You may be thinking, digital experience is not something that your industry has to be concerned with… but think again. Today, no organization can afford to overlook the importance of digital experiences to ensure they remain competitive. And the more touch points with users and customers there are, and the more distributed the value chain, the more attention you should be paying to digital experience monitoring, pairing it with IT infrastructure monitoring. In fact, any organization with a digital presence can benefit from monitoring and optimizing user experience, because it directly impacts customer satisfaction, brand reputation, and revenue.
