New Relic releases State of Observability for Retail report
Blog post from New Relic
The State of Observability for Retail report highlights how leading retail organizations leverage observability to enhance digital customer experiences and operational efficiency, with a reported fourfold return on investment. The report, based on insights from industry professionals, emphasizes the strategic importance of observability in minimizing downtime and optimizing customer journeys, particularly during peak shopping periods like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Retailers are increasingly adopting AI, IoT, and security measures to build resilience and streamline operations, with the industry outpacing others in addressing outages and achieving a median mean-time-to-detection of just 32 minutes. The trend towards full-stack observability is marked by a move to consolidate tools, with a preference for a single platform that connects IT performance data to business outcomes, promising transformative impacts on business operations and customer experience. The New Relic Retail Solution exemplifies this by providing a comprehensive, AI-enhanced platform that bridges observability best practices with business outcomes, offering real-time monitoring and analysis across all retail systems and applications.
