It's Time To Move From Manual Incident Processes
If you are an IT operations manager in an enterprise, you are probably more than familiar with this scenario. As you get to work in the morning and settle down at your desk, you’re suddenly overwhelmed by a deluge of IT alerts coming through. You start parsing these alerts and find that while each alert is technically accurate, you are not able to really see the big picture. As a first-responder to IT incidents, how do you find the right context in your sea of alerts (without having to comb through all of them) and fix an issue before there is any adverse impact?
A typical IT organization receives more than 100,000 alerts every day. For every 110 alerts that your network operations center (NOC) gets, there is only 1 alert that really matters to the health and performance of your business services. In a high-stakes situation, how do you pinpoint the alerts that you need to immediately address without being overwhelmed by the noise? Is your incident management team primarily focused on busy work (sifting through alerts) or on value-added tasks (proactive troubleshooting, incident coordination, and service restoration)?
The reality is that the world of IT service management is still rooted in manual standards and practices. It is hard to improve your IT service levels with manual problem management processes or siloed availability and performance analysis. If you need to move at the speed of your business, you need to quickly identify problems, notify the right teams, and drive rapid resolution for critical incidents.
