What makes it Innovative? CoreFirst is the first/only product to: Deliver end-to-end visibility (business context performance availability SLA compliance flow topology resource consumption etc.) of all transactions across all execution tiers within the IT environment all the time. Monitor tens of millions of transactions/day and reveal how changes in IT impact the business and how changes in business practice impact service quality. Prioritize transactions and management processes based on business context.

Transactions are composed of multiple work units that are executed on multiple application tiers such as web, application and database servers. A fundamental challenge to understanding transaction activity is that these work units operate in isolation from one another and usually lack any business transaction context (e.g., data access at the database level and EJBs on application servers). CoreFirst uses patent-pending Active Context Tracking (ACT) technology to associate work units with the logical business transaction instances to which they belong, all in real time.
