Optimize customer experience with real-time insights

Kapital Bank, the largest financial institution in Azerbaijan, needed an observability solution to help optimize its digital services. The bank began its digital transformation journey three years ago in collaboration with international IT services partner Bakotech and local firm Ultra. However, customers became more accustomed to online and mobile banking during the pandemic, so the bank needed to accelerate its transformation to meet evolving needs and maintain its market leadership. Open-source monitoring solutions such as Nagios provided some insights but could not proactively identify issues and often created notification storms that hindered teams from understanding the root cause to optimize services. Kapital Bank worked with Bakotech to define its digital transformation strategy and identify the best solutions for its needs. For observability, Bakotech recommended Dynatrace, due to its ability to enable teams to quickly identify and understand the precise root cause of any issues in its digital services.

  • End-to-end insight

    Full observability across all infrastructure and continuous discovery eliminates blind spots

  • Faster resolution

    AI capabilities provide instant root cause analysis, helping the bank work towards its target of zero downtime

  • Better collaboration

    Dynatrace fosters a DevOps culture by helping teams understand where to focus their efforts and how to work together to optimize services for customers

  • Easier-to-manage integrations

    The bank can now easily spot issues caused by third-party services that integrate with its mobile and web applications, and resolve them faster

  • Improved user experience

    Dynatrace helps developers identify and prioritize problems that directly impact user experience

Enhanced user experience

Customer experience is the most important success factor for Kapital Bank. With Dynatrace, teams can identify problems that directly impact user experience and prioritize tasks to ensure customer-facing digital services remain available and a seamless user experience is provided.

Fully automated, continuous discovery

Kapital Bank deployed Dynatrace quickly using Dynatrace OneAgent®, the platform’s fully automated single agentbased approach, which automatically discovers and maps all apps, microservices, infrastructure, and dependencies across your environment, with zero configuration. Dynatrace’s continuous discovery also ensures end-to-end observability even when the bank’s environment changes, eliminating potential blind spots. Bakotech worked with the bank’s 200 developers and team of 20 DevOps professionals to ensure a smooth implementation.

End-to-end observability

Dynatrace is monitoring all of Kapital Bank’s infrastructure and application layers, including its desktop and mobile applications, across production and testing environments. The mobile application monitoring is particularly important as it offers customers much more than day-today banking services—for instance, customers can also use it to pay for parking via an integrated third-party service. Dynatrace helps teams quickly identify what has caused an issue, so teams know who to contact to rectify it.

DevOps culture

Dynatrace enables better collaboration across all teams, by providing a single source of insights and intelligence. This helps everyone understand what the problems are and how they can work better as a team to resolve them.

Faster Resolution

Dynatrace’s advanced AI capabilities enable teams to instantly understand root cause and resolve issues fast, giving teams the confidence to set a target of achieving zero downtime by the end of the year.
