Using Actional With OpenEdge The Zen of Business Transaction

							Using Actional With OpenEdge: The Zen of
Business Transaction Assurance

Speaker: Stefano Picozzi, Senior Presales Consultant




This session demonstrates Actional monitoring in an OpenEdge environment. Using the
5 key benefits introduced in Actional® Technical Overview for OpenEdge session, this
session will show how Actional delivers benefits in a real-world OpenEdge installation. This
presentation lets the audience experience the Actional product, which is UI focused, helping
customers visualize and govern their run-time environments.




Actional products are used by application teams to gain a holistic understanding
of the service inter-dependencies within their environment for help testing,
designing, and troubleshooting their environments. Customers have achieved
85% reductions in the people required for break-fix with a payback on the
investment in under two years while improving communications between
IT and “the business.” (Case studies and ROI calculator available at http://

Stefano will extend the conversation around the 5 key benefits of Actional
introduced in the “Actional Technical Overview Session” by demonstrating
Actional in an OpenEdge implementation. The 5 key benefits are:



     1.   Automatic Discovery
     2.   Highly Scalable
     3.   Performant (“First, do no harm”)
     4.   Invisible to Developers
     5.   Policy Optimization

The product demo will teach attendees how these features are used, and
improve the monitoring of OpenEdge implementations to achieve the results
mentioned above. This session is a companion session to “Actional Technical
Overview for OpenEdge Users.” Neither is a pre-requisite for the other.
