Accelerate the Adoption of “You Build it, You Own it” with Self-Service Operations
AVAILABLE NOW
Many engineering and operations teams would like to move to a Service Ownership: “You build it, you own it” operating model. However, as with many ancillary objectives driving DevOps across an organization, this is easier said than done. Often, it’s because teams lack the human-to-technology mechanisms which allow for a culture of service ownership.
Within the context of incident response, teams need the ability to clearly define who is responsible for tending to issues, how they’re notified, and who to lean on for help. This is true for non-incident response scenarios, too. How can teams operate at a fast pace, and a large scale, while still maintaining valid and safe service ownership? One of the keys to allowing for service ownership outside of incident response is by imbuing an organization with a culture of self-service operations.
This is where a service owner builds and delegates self-service mechanisms for end-users (non-service owners) to make use of a given service safer while also reducing the number of interruptions to the service creator/owner.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- How self-service helps organizations adopt a ‘You Build it, You Own it’ model
- Necessary mechanisms for service owners to create self-service interfaces which address the needs of their service-users
- How to apply self-service while continuing to maintain security and compliance standards
- How to allow developers and SREs to safely delegate automation as self-service requests to other teams and IT users
- How to help developers regain productivity and quality of life by doing what they do best: coding

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.
Download “The Speed of Change: How Fast Are You?” to learn more about those who lead and those who don’t. You’ll also find out if you are a leader, and get tips on what to do if you are not.

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.

Breakthroughs and Best Practices in Disaster Recovery
Wednesday, August 21,2019 at 1:00 pm E.T.
Disaster Recovery (DR) has never been more important. Natural disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires, and floods are on the rise. According to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration the total cost of last year’s natural disasters was approximately $91 billion. FEMA has stated, “the need for forward-leaning action is greater than ever before.” Adding to the need for proactive DR, is the threat of ransomware attacks which are up 300% from 2018.
Join us for our upcoming webinar where you will learn about breakthroughs and best practices in disaster recovery, including how to:
- Immediate and on-demand failover to the cloud in case of disaster
- Eliminate virtual machine conversion and lengthy rehydration
- Leverage S3 for cost effective cloud storage
- Smoothly resume operations and transition back from a DR environment
