The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a European Union (EU) regulation that requires financial institutions to improve their digital operational resilience. DORA creates a uniform regulatory framework across the EU to strengthen the European financial market against cyber risks and IT incidents.

When your IT team is buried in tickets, struggling with shadow IT, and constantly putting out fires, it can feel frustrating and unsustainable. That’s where IT Service Management (ITSM) comes in. ITSM gives you a plan to deliver reliable IT services while helping teams focus on what matters most: driving business success. It covers everything from handling incidents and requests to improving workflows and providing consistent value. ITSM aligns your IT team with business goals.

Working with ServiceNow’s Configuration Management Database (CMDB) can feel overwhelming.

If you want to get maximum value from your ServiceNow CMDB, you might be asking questions like: This blog will explain the key aspects of ServiceNow CMDB and share practical tips and tools to improve your CMDB experience.

As enterprises migrate to hybrid cloud environments, they face mounting pressures to manage complexities while cutting costs. Many turn to Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to streamline IT service delivery and drive results faster. For MSPs, this is both an opportunity and a challenge: the surge in hybrid cloud adoption, an explosion of observability tools, and rising operational costs push them to act decisively.

Are you facing challenges with incident routing, lengthy resolution times, or inconsistent team communication? If so, the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) can help. It’s a proven framework that goes beyond fundamental incident management to improve IT reliability, speed up issue resolution, and enhance overall IT service delivery. ITIL processes can help you save time, resources, and headaches.

IT Operations teams must detect and address incidents quickly to ensure efficient operations and reliable IT infrastructures. As organizations grow and scale their service offerings, their IT environments inevitably become more complex. Filtering through alerts becomes increasingly challenging due to excessive noise and a lack of end-to-end visibility. As a result, IT operations teams are forced to escalate issues more frequently.

As work environments for entire industries continue to evolve between on-site, remote, and hybrid models, the performance of IT operations (ITOps) teams is more critical than ever. If you need proof, just remember the global impact of the CloudStrike outage. Operations teams must monitor, triage, communicate, and manage incidents 24×7 across all services. SaaS, legacy on-premises, and homegrown tools and systems are all stretching to meet business demand. Customer expectations are ever-increasing.

In a recent webinar, BigPanda CEO Assaf Resnick noted that for the last 15 years, CIOs staked their reputations on how effectively they could move their enterprises to the cloud. Assaf predicts CIOs will focus on integrating generative AI into their enterprises over the next 10 years to deliver tangible business value. IT operations (ITOps) and IT service management (ITSM) offer significant opportunities to incorporate AI to enhance and accelerate their processes.

Do you feel you’re always playing catch-up with incidents? If so, you’re not alone. As IT environments become more complex, alerts keep piling up, and finding the root cause feels like searching for a needle in a haystack. And ITOps and incident responders are left scratching their heads and wondering: what went wrong? It can be frustrating when you don’t have end-to-end visibility into your systems. This is where observability comes in.

Your ITOps and Incident Management teams face thousands of alerts daily. How can they find the “needle in the haystack” to prevent critical alerts from escalating into incidents that impact users and customers? This challenge plagues modern IT departments as alert noise, fragmented data, and chaotic workflows extend response times and undermine service reliability.
