Alignia for Business Applications identifies, alerts and prevents conflicts that cause a decline in the performance of Business Applications, or a total or partial failure of the technology infrastructure that supports them. With a different approach to traditional monitoring, the module contributes to the smooth running of Online Services, Business Critical Processes and Technology, ensuring stability and reliability in the management of information.
1. For Business Applications such as ERP, CRM or order management applications to work
properly, they require that the technology that is below them (servers, application server,
database or network devices, among others), is always available and working properly.
Main features of Alignia for Business Applications
How does Alignia for Business Applications work?
Three steps to increase reliability
Define the Business Application to
be controlled: ERP, CRM, orders
management, payment Systems,
purchase and sale of shares, logistics
systems, etc.
Identify the technology, the devices
and applications that support Business
Applications: web servers, database
servers, databases, firewalls, printers
or other technical components to be
monitored.
Apply standard controls or make a
specific configuration with custom
controls: Custom or in house
application errors Management.

Alignia for Business Applications simply identifies, using self-discovery tools, the
technological infrastructure which is operational and provides a template for each Business
Application and for each of its components, applying a series of basic and pre-configured
controls. Thus, a catalog covering the Company’s main Business Applications is built,
indicating if the IT area is working or not, if it has performance problems or if there is any
conflict in its many devices.

Business Critical Processes and Technology, ensuring stability and reliability in the management of information.
Standard and configurable controls
Alignia for Business Applications automatically applies controls to meet the health status of
different components: availability, performance and errors. The module has a lot of applicable
templates for key technologies, operating systems, databases, web servers, applications, etc.,
and it allows you to add new technologies or controls for custom applications or in house
developments.
Impact analysis and root cause
Provides IT relevant information about which components have been the root cause of the
unavailability of Business Applications and the impairments in Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
Pre-defined display screens
Provides information directly related to the Business, in order to act early and resolve conflicts,
but allowing you to go deep in technical level detail at any time you need.
Aligned view between IT and Business
View of availability in real-time of each application (ERP, CRM, etc.) as well as Online Business
Services and Business Processes that are being impacted.
Total integration
The module is designed to be integrated with the rest of the Alignia modules and it is the basis
for monitoring the Online Business Services and the Business Processes, providing a complete
and integrated view of the health of the entire technology that supports the operations. If some
of your technological components are already being monitored by other more specific tools,
Alignia for Business Applications fully integrates with them and uses its information to enrich
control of your Business Applications.
Embedded Knowledge + Embedded How-to = Immediate Results
All the knowledge and expertise gained from hundreds of successful implementations worldwide consolidated into a
step-by-step method and embedded in Alignia to achieve immediate and totally effective results.
Alignia for Business Applications is part of Alignia, a comprehensive monitoring solution that prevents and identifies problems in the
Online Services and Business Processes, along with the Technology and Security that support them, helping your company to operate
smoothly, without interruption, in a secure environment and with extreme visibility.
