Service Level Management, Companies now look at how the performance of IT systems affects the bottom line.
So now it's a matter of measuring and communicating how well systems are performing in support of revenue goals

Business Impact Management
When IT needs to correlate system performance and end-user experience with key business objectives, IT needs business impact management. Solutions of this type gather metrics, transform them into information that is meaningful to people outside IT and present this information in easy-to-understand reports. Armed with these reports, IT can fully participate in discussions regarding business performance and the contribution of IT

Application Performance Management
For organizations that need to better understand how customer-facing applications are performing, application performance management solutions are the answer. These solutions measure the performance of individual components, actively monitor application availability and capture the end-user experience. Now that customers routinely touch IT systems, it is critical that their experience with these systems is well understood and that performance is reliable.

Data Collection
Candle Insight Analyst leverages Candle's strength in performance and availability data collection. Data is taken from multiple monitoring points -- actual end-user activity, as well as simulated transactions. The wide range of collection capabilities enables a thorough understanding of the effect of application service-level nonconformance on critical business processes. You can easily measure KPIs, including end-user response time, transaction volume, download speed, availability, device-level data and network performance. In addition to Candle's unique data collection sources, Candle Insight Analyst is designed to accept and natively correlate data from third-party sources. Business metrics from your critical application reports or activity levels from a CRM tool can easily be imported and correlated with Candle performance metrics.
Data collection tools include Candle Insight ETEWatch®, which precisely measures end-to-end application response time from the user's point of view, and
Candle Insight eBA*ServiceMonitor® 3, which measures the actual end-user experience against expected levels of service.
