“Splunk provides visibility into parts of our business that we never had before providing data across the company, not just our technology team,” said Sarika Attal, VP Enterprise Architecture and Technology Services, Papa John's International, Inc. (Papa Johns). “We now have full visibility in both our ecommerce and in-store operations with Splunk’s platform solutions helping us deliver the best service to our customers in a store, on mobile devices, via our third-party aggregators or digitally enabled call centre, Papacall.”
“Infrastructure complexity and growing attack surfaces are overthrowing traditional approaches for operational resilience and risk management. Today, organisations need end-to-end visibility in real-time combined with quick actionable insights to ensure their digital environments are consistent, performant and resilient,” said Archana Venkatraman, Analyst, IDC. “A growing number of organisations will adopt intelligent data platforms that deliver full stack observability, auto-remediation, and extensibility to include newer sources in their digital environments. Without end-to-end visibility, flexibility, and extensibility, organisations’ modern CloudOps strategies can’t be executed.”
“Forward-thinking organisations demand full stack integration across business processes to unlock innovation, improve security and drive business resilience despite the complexity of technology environments,” said Garth Fort, Chief Product Officer, Splunk. “The latest innovations in the Splunk Platform enable customers to address the complexities of multi-cloud and hybrid environments, rapidly identify signals from noise, and turn data insights into business outcomes.”
