Dynatrace goes from a head-and-shoulders to a double-bottom

Long
NYSE:DT   Dynatrace, Inc.
Background

Dynatrace (DT) is a provider of software that makes it easier to monitor software running in the cloud. DT is providing something that is essential to the next generation of software running the world.

Less than a decade ago, it was a lot easier to monitor how software was working. An engineer could observe an application running on a laptop or desktop. If something went wrong, the engineer can attach a special tool to debug what was broken. Even software running on a powerful server in the companies data center can be observed easily.

Software that runs in the cloud is out of sight. Often you only know its working if a website returns the correct web page. But going beyond that becomes magnitudes more difficult than before. And lately, more companies are spreading software across multiple clouds from Microsoft, Amazon and Google. Keeping that multi-cloud software healthy is a big challenge.

DT built a platform that uses Automation and Artificial Intelligence to make this very complex problem much easier for software developers and system engineers. The addressable market is massive and growing as more companies are accelerating digital transformation forced by the pandemic. As companies move to second and third generation multi-cloud applications, the software is becoming more complex and harder to operationalize.

In addition to this core business, Dynatrace is innovating to take the data that passes through their product and turn it into invaluable business insights. Data is the new oil. That innovation will expand their total addressable market by billions.
