David Hickman, Product Marketing at SL, has joined the APMdigest Vendor Forum.
Hickman has diverse B2B marketing and management experience. For the last 17 years, he has been promoting software solutions to large enterprises enabling collaboration, middleware-driven application development and application monitoring for middleware-centric applications. Hickman began his software marketing career at TIBCO Software shortly after the company was founded and quickly specialized in projects involving the real-time distribution of high-volume streaming data in mission critical environments. Hickman continues to leverage this experience at SL in monitoring real-time streams of performance metrics across global enterprises.
SL provides end-to-end performance monitoring solutions for middleware-centric applications. SL’s RTView Enterprise Monitor product allows customers to proactively monitor the performance of their applications, middleware and infrastructure. Problems are identified early, often even before real-time alert thresholds are triggered, so that they can be addressed long before they start to affect application level performance.
