SANTA CLARA, Calif.--()--SOASTA, the leader in performance analytics, is pleased to sponsor O’Reilly Media’s diversity scholarship program, which gives promising women and other underrepresented groups within the technology industry an opportunity to attend the Velocity Conference in Santa Clara.

The program targets technology professionals often underrepresented at industry conferences, including but not limited to women, people of color, people with disabilities, or LGBTQ. In addition to participating in the full Velocity program of main stage events and workshops, they will participate in onsite networking opportunities and have been invited to attend SOASTA’s unveiling of its new Digital Operations Center™ (DOCTM) Thursday on the show floor, and to its Friday Closing Reception RUM Wrap Party.

First scholarship sponsor SOASTA has already taken an assertive position in supporting women at all levels, and in advancing them into senior management positions within its company. In fact, the team that developed SOASTA’s new Digital Operations Center™ (DOCTM) which will be unveiled at Velocity, is headed by a woman - Tana Jackson, Vice President, Engineering.

“We’re proud to be the first sponsor of O’Reilly’s new scholarship program and believe it’s a great way for the winners to advance not just knowledge, but also context and contacts,” said Tom Lounibos, CEO, SOASTA. “Bringing more women into technology management ranks is a smart business strategy. A great case in point is our own Tana Jackson’s leadership of our new SOASTA DOC performance analytics solution, which helps our customers advance core success tenets of correlation, collaboration and control across their organization.”
