LeBron James. Marta. Daniel Cormier. Tom Brady. Simona Halep. One thing these individuals—each widely considered amongst the best in their respective sports—have in common is their commitment to training.

When a critical incident hits, the implications for the business could not be more profound. Whether it’s a productivity system that powers the efficiency of thousands of employees, or an online service that serves millions of customers and drives the company’s revenues - no organization can afford anything less than an immediate and effective resolution.

The Incident Command Center (ICC) empowers your organization to command, control, and coordinate incident response without having to leave the OpsGenie app. With the ever-expanding demand for always-on services, increasing uptime is just as critical. Streamlining incident response leads to faster resolution of issues and less headaches for your customer.

Today we are delighted to announce that Atlassian has entered into an agreement to acquire OpsGenie. Six years ago, my co-founders and I recognized that always-on services were becoming commonplace, customers’ expectations were growing, and service disruptions had increased potential to impact a company’s revenue and reputation. As a result, the pressure on IT professionals was changing, but the tools to help them stay aware and in control of issues were not.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Atlassian Corporation Plc (NASDAQ: TEAM), a leading provider of team collaboration and productivity software, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire OpsGenie, Inc., whose technology enables companies to better plan for and respond to IT service disruptions.

Software has become part of our daily lives – from sending money using your phone to signing contracts with a click. But all this progress comes with a downside – specifically, downtime. When a popular online service goes down, it disrupts millions of people and costs businesses $700 billion per year in North America alone. Responding to service disruptions has become one of the biggest challenges facing IT organizations today.

SAN FRANCISCO – Sept. 4, 2018 – PagerDuty, a global leader in digital operations management, today announced it has surpassed 300 integrations as part of its market-leading, open ecosystem for real-time operations. This ecosystem enables PagerDuty customers to automate the detection, triage, response and resolution of real-time events and incidents across complex and constantly changing tech stacks and microservice architectures.

Think about the last time you or someone at your company found an error or technical issue with a critical system at work. Did you know immediately how to report that issue? Did you know who on the team was the right person to communicate the issue to? Often, employees have no idea how to answer these questions. They lack context and access to the right tools to take action themselves.
