“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.”

Forrester Names PagerDuty a Leader in first-ever Process-Centric AIOps Wave From helping pioneer the DevOps movement to establishing best practices around service ownership to being the standard in incident response, PagerDuty has a long history of leadership. PagerDuty is honored to add to this list and now be recognized as a leader in the AIOps and Automation space by Forrester.

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.

Chasing down critical information in disparate systems of record while trying to resolve an incident can make an already stressful situation even more taxing. Extra clicks, extra logins, copy/paste, socializing that information with other responders–it all wastes time and introduces more room for human error. Now PagerDuty customers can use Custom Fields on Incidents to enrich their incident data.

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.

At the beginning of 2023, I had a great conversation with Carlos Casanova, a Forrester Principal Analyst, in a recent webinar about how AIOps can help drive successful organizational change. According to our conversation, Carlos has divided the AIOps market into two camps: technology-centric (primarily APM/Observability players) and process-centric. PagerDuty is a process-centric solution leveraging multiple technologies.

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.

In our previous blogs on Capturing Application State and using Ephemeral Containers for Debugging Kubernetes, we discussed the value of being able to deploy specific tools to gather diagnostics for later analysis, while also providing the responder to the incident the means to resolve infrastructure or application issues.
