Our Take
Many leading software companies remain privately held for many years before going public. When a company is privately held, prospective customers generally have less accessible information about the company’s financial strength and its business strategy.
Public companies in the US must follow strict reporting requirements for their financial reports and make these reports publicly available.
IT professionals making APM purchasing decisions may benefit from the information provided by this greater transparency after Dynatrace goes public.
