Incidents are a costly burden on businesses. Despite assembling the right people and teams, the manual work, tool setup and prolonged tasks can negatively impact customer experience. The need for adaptable processes to address diverse incident types further complicates the situation. This is where the PagerDuty Operations Cloud steps in. It streamlines and automates all the various manual steps in the incident response process.

In today’s fast-paced and ever-evolving world of technology, failure is inevitable. Organizations should embrace failure as a learning opportunity for how to build and deliver more resilient services. At PagerDuty, we’ve practiced Failure Friday for 10 years now. Failure Friday–a practice inspired by the chaos engineering space–involves intentionally injecting failures into our systems to improve reliability and foster a proactive engineering culture.

The PagerDuty Operations Cloud is your platform for action in critical moments. By harnessing the capabilities of AI and automation, it has the ability to detect and diagnose disruptive incidents, assemble the appropriate team members for prompt response, and optimize your digital operations by streamlining infrastructure and workflows.

“Existing workload automation strategies are unable to cope with the expansion in complexity of workload types, volumes and locations driven by evolving business demand, as per Gartner. Digital business is slowed without collaboration and automation inside and outside of IT, leading to siloes of capabilities across business and IT teams.Cost optimization is an evolving challenge, driven by technical debt and requirements to demonstrate business value of investments.”

For technical teams, the findings from DORA provide a model for measuring and improving performance. With almost a decade of data gathered from more than 33,000 professionals worldwide, the capabilities and frameworks detailed by the research help teams pinpoint areas for improvement and areas to celebrate. The team at DORA categorizes capabilities into three sections: Technical Capabilities, Process Capabilities and Cultural Capabilities.

Automation has become a game changer for businesses seeking efficiency and scalability in a rather unclear and volatile macroeconomic landscape. Streamlining processes, improving productivity, and reducing incidence for human error are just a few benefits that automation brings. However, as organizations embrace automation, it’s crucial to ensure modern security measures are in place to protect these new and evolving assets.

When it comes to keeping your business’s lights on, you need to manage and orchestrate your operational activities, prioritize high-impact and urgent work, and maintain day-to-day precision. Trust is paramount during mission-critical, time-sensitive crisis response and the narrow margin for error means there is little room and low acceptance for generative AI hallucinations or false positives.

The number of tools used by distributed teams to manage incidents has multiplied over the years, leading to a valley of tool sprawl. Throw in manual processes and you’ve got too much toil and multiple points of failure. Maintaining disparate tools and systems isn’t just unwieldy, it’s expensive. Our latest capabilities add to the PagerDuty Operations Cloud to make it easier than ever for teams to consolidate their incident management stack.
