On-call is a special working hour arrangement under employment law. It comes into effect when the employee is obliged to be contactable at least by phone, so they can start work in an emergency. On-call duty is generally counted as time specifically meant for work purposes. In practice, this means that employees are normally not allowed to work while on-call. However, there may be exceptions. For example, on-call employees may also work from home if they can be reached through their work device.

Status pages are a clever solution to bundle all your services, and see the status of them at one sight.

Our ecosystem continues to grow: we have added 10 new integrations within the last months. Integrations are the bridge between alert sources and on-call teams and have always been a top priority at iLert. They are one of the reasons why iLert is so easy to adopt for small and large companies alike.

Many companies are continuously modernizing their infrastructure – but there is no standard way for the perfect IT infrastructure. Still, hybrid architectures have become the status quo in enterprises. Almost all organizations have migrated at least parts of their assets to the cloud or run applications as cloud services. At the same time, businesses want to dovetail their IT architecture with software development and are therefore embracing dynamic infrastructures. ‍
