As part of our continued efforts to be the industry-leading source of news, discussion and information about Application Performance Management, we will be combining the Application Performance Matters blog into a rebranded and updated Compuware APM blog – about:performance – at the end of November.

As part of the about:performance blog update, we’re widening the scope of the blog to include topics that you’ve grown used to learning about on Application Performance Matters.
