Evolving business themes come at us in waves. So far this millennium we have had The New Economy, The Cloud, and now Digital Transformation. Underpinning these themes are real, economically significant dynamics that drown out the bleating voices of pundits and cynics alike. The Internet is not a bubble, the cloud is not a fad, and digital transformation is, well, transformative. Let’s take a look at what that last one means for Financial Services.

This growth is expected as SaaS resolves the scaling challenges for a business, considerably decreases the total cost of ownership, and takes away the hassles of managing local hardware.
SaaS-based businesses are on the rise more than ever. Old businesses are rushing to turn their legacy software into SaaS-based solutions and new businesses are popping up offering SaaS-based solutions to everything imaginable. SaaS-based solutions are made up of multi-layered complex architecture with both internal and external components that require strategic constant monitoring and optimization.
Logs provide a wealth of information that is invaluable for use cases like root cause analysis and audits.
