Operations | Monitoring | ITSM | DevOps | Cloud

Many organizations have been digitally transforming their operations and the majority of them are moving to the cloud. With this transformation, data teams have to analyze ever larger and more complex data sets to allow downstream teams to make faster and more accurate decisions on a daily basis. Consequently, most organizations need to work with: customer data, product data, usage data, advertising data, and financial data.

NOC, or network operation center, processes have been set in stone for decades. But it’s time for some of these processes to evolve. Digital transformation and the cloud era have led to the rise of DevOps, and with it, service ownership. Service ownership means that developers take responsibility for supporting the software they deliver at every stage of the life cycle. This brings development teams closer to their customers, the business, and the value they deliver.

As a busy executive, taking time to attend an event and listen to sessions is a luxury. And yet, I know that many of my best breakthrough ideas on how to lead my teams have come from taking those moments to tune into new ideas. The challenge is figuring out where the hidden nuggets of wisdom are buried in a mountain of content.

We’re excited to announce a new set of updates and enhancements to the PagerDuty Operations Cloud. Recent development and app updates from the product team include Incident Response, PagerDuty® Process Automation, as well as Community & Advocacy Events updates. We continue to help customers automate everywhere to optimize cloud operations and reduce the amount of issues escalated to other teams.

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.
