Hi!

There's a lot we can learn from healthcare IT teams. These folks are almost always short-staffed and responsible for hundreds of applications, but they're rapidly transforming healthcare for the better.

This month, we're taking a look at how healthcare IT teams are using wire data analytics to tame complexity while making healthcare smarter and more efficient. You should also check out the new independent report from Ovum that focuses on ExtraHop, including recommendations and a SWOT analysis.
