"Symphoniq's TrueView solution monitors real users, real transactions in real time to ensure that businesses can resolve end user problems before they become more widespread. Symphoniq is perfectly positioned to help companies manage this complexity and I am thrilled to be joining Symphoniq as we prepare for this next wave of rapid growth."
