SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Software analytics leader New Relic, Inc. (NYSE: NEWR) announced today Hearst, one of the nation’s largest diversified media, information and services companies, has deployed the New Relic Software Analytics Cloud to help ensure the success of its new digital media experiences. With New Relic, more than 16 different technical teams across Hearst have gained greater visibility into the performance of their software throughout development, testing, and production, delivering insights about their customer experience across digital properties.
Hearst has evolved into a company that is deeply rooted in technology, having invested in engineering resources and the tools necessary to ensure it is building the best digital products across its business units. Central to this strategy has been the development and deployment of their next-generation platform, Media OS. At the heart of the success of Media OS is data - from the insights the platform delivers to Hearst’s editors to visibility New Relic provides on the platform’s performance.
The New Relic Software Analytics Cloud has enabled Hearst’s technical teams to:
- Guarantee Performance of Microservices. New Relic enables Hearst to set and meet their service level agreements, as the company heavily utilizes microservices as part of their strategy to deliver new innovations faster. By setting up granular alerts for CPU utilization, memory utilization, and time to complete a request, Hearst’s technical teams can quickly identify where there is a problem and help speed the time to resolution.
- Increase Effectiveness of DevOps and Agile Teams. New Relic has provided end-to-end visibility essential for Hearst’s DevOps and engineering teams to keep up their fast development pace without sacrificing performance and customer experience. By using New Relic from the sandbox environment to production, Hearst teams are able to detect potential issues before deployment, eliminating the need to rework applications after they’ve been put into production. As applications go into production, Hearst teams have data and insights as a foundation, which enable them to scale the applications more effectively.
- Help Inform Business Decisions. New Relic has become a valued partner in helping Hearst understand their digital business. New Relic provides Hearst a single platform to understand how applications are developed and deployed across the company’s businesses with a consistent set of performance metrics.
