As the whole world is facing the adversities of the Coronavirus pandemic, the majority of companies are inclining themselves towards digitization for the sake of the continuation of their business. In this regard, experts have predicted that by 2021, digital businesses will be quadruplicated. The current scenario furthermore strengthens the need to validate the applications which can perform optimally. Many software companies are in a continuous process of designing and launching applications to benefit users across the globe. At the same time, there is a multitude of companies that deal with providing software solutions related to these applications, which help improve the overall performance of processes, and the software or application driving that business process.

ANIL KUMAR Founder & CTO

”FANNING THE FIRE” OF THE BUSINESS IDEA The founders of Cavisson have been in the performance domain since the beginning of their careers and have been exposed to numerous technologies and methodologies. They have worked closely with end-users and have been power users themselves. The lapses in technologies that they came across prompted them to create and develop solutions that would revolutionize the whole engineering space performance.

The idea was to focus on the user experience as a key derivative of performance and build a solution that will help improve the user’s experience and derive business value from thereby addressing the challenges across all software covering Online Customer Experience, Real User Monitoring, Synthetic Monitoring, Infrastructure, Network, Applications, Database, and Logs.

Catering to a wide range of clientele, they serve the leading brands across numerous industries, and all of their customers are leaders in their respective domains. The Wells Fargo Bank, Macy’s, Kohl’s, A-10 Networks, National Health Authority, Pathkind, ArchChat, and the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai are some of the elites to which Cavisson System Inc serves.

SYNCHRONIZING WITH THE TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS The complexity of technology has advanced multifold to include application architecture moved from monolithic applications to microservices; system layer complexity has increased with VMs, Pods, container type of devices surfaced like IoTs and has increased the complexity in distributed computing: all of these advancements have led to an exponential increase in data points, data relationships, and logs. Furthermore, the technology has reached end consumers creating the need for highly sophisticated customer experience and real-time responsiveness. All of these factors have led to vertical siloed solutions that lack drill-down across software layers, with no anomaly detection, and many diversely skilled teams (too many cooks), causing a longer time for issue detection and an increased cost to businesses with many pointed solutions.

However, keeping abreast of existing trends and innovation, Cavisson has taken a leadership position in building end-to-end comprehensive and unified solutions with a single dashboard to capture all data points across diverse software layers. It has full drill-down and anomaly detection through a proprietary solution using a big data engine, high-performance computing, fast data analytics, and AI/ML.

Also, using shift-left strategies, Cavisson has produced a highly scalable, repeatable, and production like simulative environment to enhance further the performance engineering side of the business needs to reduce the cost and improve the clients’ brand by avoiding failures in the root itself – prevention is better than a cure!

Anil Kumar says, “We’ve always been looking into innovating and including features that add value as well as help in addressing specific business problems. All recent trends are studied, and we keep exploring opportunities to support and leverage these trends, whether these are on AI or ML or IoT, etc. Our product leverages almost all of these technologies and has compelling features associated with Alerts, Anomaly detection, RCA, AIOps, etc.”

ENCOURAGING THE WORKFORCE What keeps an individual motivated and dedicated to their work? Appreciation and incentives are two of the essential factors that keep employees happy and productive. At the same time, the management at Cavisson System Inc provides rewards to their employees who deliver outstanding performances, which motivates others as well to be a winner in whatever they pursue. The categorization of awards falls into two parts, which are team awards and companywide awards. There are team-building exercises that are organized regularly, and then there are events in which management encourage almost every employee to participate and contribute. Timeouts are one of the best ways to rejuvenate and come back with fresh energy. Many times, the offsite is also planned, so that occurs during a tech refresh and kickoff.

Recently, they held Expression 2020 – an Annual Day, Gala Dinner, and Awards night in January. They also held an annual sports meet in December – Cavisson Sports League.

ACHIEVEMENTS SO FAR The incredible performance of the company has resulted in a collection of awards and achievements. These are listed below: • 50 Best Technology Companies to watch in 2020. • 10 Best APM Software Companies, 2019. • 10 Best Tech Entrepreneurs of the Year 2019.

They are also expanding through new channels – partnerships and alliances to reach out to those geographies and audience segments.
