IT service quality from a user perspective
Users perceive IT service quality in a purely subjective way as either 'good' or 'bad'. The challenge for manage-ment is recording actual service quali-ty objectively from a user perspective.
Measure like a user
The ServiceTrace® measurement process simulates the perceptions and behavior of real users of IT ser-vices, at the same time meas uring the response times of individual transactions.
Easy to measure and modify
Setting up and changing projects to measure the end user experience was previously time-consuming and called for specialist knowledge. ServiceTrace® supplies tools which considerably simplify and speed up this work. Departments are able to set up measurement projects them-selves in a cost-effective manner and to successfully adapt them to their specific processes.
Constantly measuring
CIOs, SLA managers, and service
teams must be able to rely on a stable measurement system. The
ServiceTrace® process integrates
tools that run 24/7 and therefore guarantees valid and informative associated measurement data at all times.
Secure measurement points
ServiceTrace® technology meets the
highest security standards. Meas-urements cannot be accessed by unauthorized parties. Passwords and login details are encrypted to ensure that the process of managing your IT service quality is completely secure.
One tool does it all
SAP, email, web, terminal services or proprietary: we specialize in maintaining the unique capabili-ties of your applications.
Service-Trace® uses a universal procedure
to accommodate any measurement requirement.
Better all the time
The application life cycle covers the design, testing, commissioning, and the operational and adjustment phases of your applications.
Service-Trace® quality assurance supports
this process of ongoing optimization in every phase. For example, auto-mated test measurements during preproduction give an indication of the potential for improvement prior to operational roll-out.
SAP measurement
Constant monitoring of all business processes in the SAP environment. Auto mated regression testing performed to assure quality following updates, offline backups, and disaster recovery tests.
Citrix measurement
Application response times and availability are measured as a proactive way to maintain the end user experience.
Measuring web applications
Ongoing testing of all the components of complex websites to safeguard avail-ability and usavail-ability, and to document quality.
Measuring mainframe tools
The availability of terminal applications is checked, documented, and safe-guarded by way of automated testing.
Mail measurement (Exchange, Lotus Notes)
Checking the response times and availability of distributed mail systems.
Application and firewall measurement
Ongoing monitoring of application availability, especially following firewall changes.
Proprietary applications
Checking response times and availability.

easy to use
ServiceTrace® makes E2E quality as-surance easy ‒ from creating graph-ical measurement projects using the intuitive WorkflowEditor to the convenient, centralized management of measurements via the multi-client capable ControlCenter.

universal
Patented ServiceTracer® high-speed picture searching identifies GUI elements based on contours – inde-pendently of position, color depth or resolution. This makes Service-Trace® E2E monitoring universally suitable for assuring the quality of any application in any environment, including:
> Applications based on proprietary protocols
> Applications based on encrypted protocols
> Applications based on JavaScript
> Proprietary applications
> Services based on Citrix, VMware, etc.
> Measurement machines with different monitor resolutions
> Measurement machines with different color settings
Stable
Only a realistic measurement en-vironment will supply inform ative, valid results regarding service qual-ity. ServiceTrace® E2E monitoring integrates typical standard devi-ations from the regular measure-ment process such as application failures, pop-ups in the context of security updates, for example, or service exceptions (downtime). The ServiceTracer® Protector and ServiceTracer® Guard components ensure that measurements continue to run in a stable manner, even in the event of an exception.

Secure data
MultiTracer technology facilitates real GUI-based measurements, as well as hidden Windows sessions. Unauthorized third parties are not able to view or access measure-ments.
ServiceTrace® E2E monitoring therefore meets the data security requirements of the Institute of Public Auditors in Germany (IDW PS 9.330.1-3) and is exceptionally suitable for IT quality management within banks, insurance companies or public authorities.
Scalable
Large and distributed environments create high demands when it comes to managing measurements, alert-ing, and reporting. ServiceTrace® architecture is centralized, scalable, and flexible, and can be adapted to suit different sizes of company and measurement requirements as needed.

Dashboard modules can be added as required
ServiceTrace® solutions are based on a client-server architecture to which modules can be added as required. Measurements run on Windows PC clients, mobile or VoIP clients. Clients collect data on the response times and uptime (availability) of monitored applications, 24/7. Http/https communication is used to transmit measurement data to the central TraceManagement-Server. This stores measurement data and makes it available for subsequent analysis using either third-party solutions (system management/ helpdesk solutions, mainframe tools, etc.) or the appropriate Service-Trace® modules:
> Dashboard provides a centra-lized, fast overview of the status of on going measurements and of the quality of monitored applications. In the case of critical notifications, a drill-down function provides de-tailed information.
> Alerting triggers alerts when crit-ical thresholds of application quality are reached. Alerts are sent by SMS or email to the relevant administra-tors or to connected event consoles via an interface.
> Web-Reporting generates graph-ical, customer-specific reports on service quality from recent days, weeks or months, which can be under stood intuitively. The time zone is detected automatically and service times and downtime are in-tegrated. Multi-client capable access via web browser.
> Service Level Reporting sends fully automated, configurable service level reports at scheduled times and delivers them to specified addresses in PDF format. client mobiletracer voiptracer tracemanagement-Server (tmS)
