2026/02/15

Perform 2026 felt like a turning point for Dynatrace, and when Steve Tack joined me for his fourth appearance on the show, it was clear this was not business as usual.

Because beneath the spectacle, Dynatrace introduced something that signals a broader shift in observability: Dynatrace Intelligence. Steve was

2026/02/09

As someone who spends a lot of time covering AI announcements, product launches, and conference stages, it is easy to forget that most AI today is still built for desks, screens, and digital workflows. Yet the reality is that the vast majority of the global workforce operates in the physical world, on roads, construction sites, depots, and job sites where mistakes are measured in injuries, collisions, and lives lost. That gap between where AI innovation happens and where real risk exists is exactly
