AppDynamics touts the agility of a startup with the pocket of a global giant
Summary
AppDynamics was on its way to becoming a public company before the $3.7 billion offer was made by Cisco, but according to CEO David Wadhwani, the decision to instead sell was the right one, and its already bearing fruit.Speaking with ZDNet while in Sydney visiting customers, Wadhwani explained having Cisco as its parent also gives AppDynamics access to more executives, and as a result, more insight into what CIOs, CTOs, and CDOs are dealing with on their "transformational journey".The new CEO brought with him 14 years driving Adobes digital transformation , which he said has helped him be familiar on a personal level with what executives are experiencing.Funded by the company that pulled in revenue of $12.1 billion in 2017 , AppDynamics has also accelerated its research and development (R&D) under the ownership of Cisco.To Wadhwani, an increased R&D kitty is important for the space AppDynamics plays in, with new models for application development released in quick succession.
