A maker of AI-powered software that watches over the complex computer systems behind modern apps, websites, and digital services — its platform spots problems, finds their root causes, and can fix them automatically, used by thousands of companies worldwide. It was founded in 2005 in Linz, Austria, by two engineers who wanted to see inside tangled, shifting software; the name blends "dynamic" and "trace," for how the tool tracks each transaction. A fun quirk: the company started life spelled "dynaTrace" with a lowercase "t."
