Learn how to revolutionize your applications the Carhartt way

What does revolutionizing applications really mean?

Revolutionizing your applications means many things to different people. It can mean moving the critical applications that support your business to the cloud so they’re scalable and less costly to support. It can mean creating flawless digital experiences for your customers so that they become brand loyal to your products and increase your net promoter score. It can mean relying on your applications to enable 24/7 business operations and form a robust, integrated automated machine that supports rapid business growth. Or in the case of Carhartt, it can be all of these.  

Applications are the front door to virtually every business and essential to driving revenue and business growth. Experience is a top priority and business KPI – customers need fantastic experience every time. But application environments are increasingly complex, rely on multiple clouds, and teams are siloed. And with sprawling monitoring tools that aren’t integrated, it’s difficult to identify, prioritize, and address issues. Seventy-five percent (75%) of technologists say they’re facing more IT complexity than ever before – without a way to cut through the noise and prioritize efforts.

Companies want to focus on what matters most – revenue, user experience, risk, and costs. In their journey to full-stack observability with Cisco, Carhartt has done exactly that. While this 134 years old company is steeped in the tradition of making premium workwear for hard-working people, they’re at the forefront of digital transformation for manufacturing, retail and e-commerce.  

Managing 24/7 business operations in the cloud

Carhartt runs many modern applications. One of their critical applications is SAP.  They use SAP to manage operations for everything from sewing workwear, to operating their distribution centers, to maintaining their 24/7 global e-commerce site. Moving to the cloud gave Carhartt improved availability along with flexibility, scalability, and reliability required by their 24/7 business operations. And by migrating applications to the cloud, they could move investment from data centers, hardware, and staff to build and run them – to opening new retail stores and innovating with new B2B business models.
