In order to respond in real-time to urgent, critical digital incidents, on-call responders must be able to take action from anywhere. But when on-call responders become overwhelmed with alerts, they often just “ignore them” because they cannot tell the difference between a real alert and a false one.

If you’re familiar with PagerDuty, you probably associate it with alerts about technical services behaving in ways they shouldn’t. Maybe you yourself have been notified at some point that a service wasn’t available, was responding slowly, or was returning incorrect information. That’s the common use of a service in the PagerDuty platform.

This is an increasingly popular question for IT professionals. In part, this is driven by the need for organizations to use IT Operations Management (ITOM) in conjunction with more traditional IT service management (ITSM) because of the ever-increasing reliance on technology to enable business operations and outcomes. To help with your understanding, this blog explains what ITOM is, why it is needed, and what it entails.

Does your team deal with too much noise? Does your heart sink a bit when you think about how much your rulesets have sprawled in order to manage your event processing needs? That’s why we released Event Orchestration earlier this year to help teams reduce the amount of manual work that goes into event management.

Covid-19 has brought opportunities for companies who invested early in digital operations, while others struggled to maintain the status quo. The latter gave rise to record employee burnout, and what is now commonly referred to as the Great Resignation.
