The Speed of Change: How Fast Are You?
How fast is your IT? You need speed and adaptability to adjust as big changes in the global economy and our daily lives keep coming. Disruption is the status quo, and the “new normal” is not yet defined.
Are you prepared for what’s next? What are IT organizations saying about it all?
This spring, 2,200 IT professionals and senior IT leaders participated in a survey and shared:
- How fast their organizations can respond to change
- What application development challenges are holding them back
- What makes them more (or less!) ready for change
The most shocking result? Only 21% of people feel like they can beat their peers and competitors at the change game.
These and other answers to the survey became a report that offers insights into which organizations are leading the race in speed and adaptability in this era of digital urgency.

Establish an incident management process like an IT Operations Pro
Incident Management is an IT service management process intended to restore “normal” service operation as quickly as possible, while minimizing any adverse impact on business operations or the end user. To be successful, IT teams must promptly and effectively deal with all Incidents reported by users.
So why is Incident Management important? The answer is impact. The cost of downtime can add up to billions of dollars of lost revenue, cost employees productivity time and leave a negative user experience. For every hour of downtime a business experiences there is a profound impact to the business.
Having a well-defined incident management process can help reduce the cost of downtime dramatically.

Why Automated AIOps Is Better Than AIOps- and How to Get There
RECORDED EVENT
Early monitoring efforts relied on specialists to scrutinize production environments for issues that might hurt performance. But as IT grew in size and complexity, humans struggled to keep up. Growing out of that struggle, AIOps enabled systems to independently spot anomalies and issue alerts. Adding automation takes AIOps to a whole new level—introducing enhanced options for remediating incidents, handling repetitive tasks, and removing human error.
