Overview

FTD flourishes in peak season with Dynatrace

"Dynatrace is the monitor and protector of the customer journey."

Jay Topper - Chief Digital Officer at FTD

Challenge

FTD has been undergoing a major digital transformation in an effort to modernize its services and redefine the end-to-end customer experience. This led to the launch of a new digital e-commerce platform, which is 100% microservices-based and running in the cloud. As a result, it needed a new, more modern approach to monitoring to ensure it was able to maintain end-to-end observability into the customer journey across its modern e-commerce platform, without any blind spots.

"Dynatrace had empathy in understanding what we were going through, so we really were side by side as we went through this experience."

Jay Topper - Chief Digital Officer at FTD
