Companies can take big strides toward “preventing preventable” incidents by minding what they measure. What’s in a name?

I joined GoCardless as a junior engineer. It was one of my first coding jobs, and in my time there I progressed to senior much faster than I had expected.

As moderator Jason Walker, BigPanda’s COO, said in our RESOLVE ’22 event Bit by bit, maturity models in “almost every other domain of IT” have not turned into a workable set of guideposts and indicators in the Ops domain. We welcomed Insurity’s Lead Cloud Operations Performance & Monitoring Admin, Ronnel Vergara, to take the stage and talk over this high-level topic at our event.
