Why did Symantec sell the APM product line?
Symantec sold the APM business to better serve its customers. Symantec recognizes that more investment into the technology is critical. This transaction provides customers with more focus and investment in the technology. It protects the investments that our customers have made in the APM solutions while allowing Symantec to focus on its mission of securing and managing the world’s most valuable asset – information. Ultimately, the APM business, optimizing the performance of applications, does not fit into the long-term strategic direction of the overall Symantec business.
