Technology, Communications, and Media
|
This collection of use cases for the Splunk platform provides insights specifically for technology, communications and media organizations. Communications and media are in the midst of a major transformation with the adoption of new technologies like 5G and cloud native edge compute. Service providers rely on data to drive their new and legacy services (for example 5G, IoT, Video, or VoIP). Software as a Service (SaaS) and gaming companies are heavily dependent on machine technology to deliver resilient digital experiences. For more resources on how technology, communications and media organizations use Splunk, see Communications solutions or Technology solutions. For additional security and observability use cases that could benefit your organization but are industry-agnostic, visit The Use Case Explorer for Security and Use Case Explorer for Observability. |
