Handle crises the same that PagerDuty does…with PagerDuty!
September is global preparedness month for PagerDuty employees. Through multiple interactive, fun and cross-functional activities, endorsed by our Senior Leadership, employees get prepared to act in moments of crisis. We do this because we run our services 24x7 and so do most of our customers.
To handle moments of crisis the same way that we do, by using PagerDuty Operations Cloud, check out the blog post and don’t miss the references to the Crisis Response Management Operations Guide for all the details on how to do it.
We’ll also have Jason Flint, Senior Manager of Facilities and Crisis Response, on The Unplanned Show on September 11 at 1pm PT.
Automation for everyone with AI-Generated Runbooks
Operational efficiency is as critical within the IT and engineering teams as any other part of the business. Automating repetitive tasks and reducing escalations within and to these teams is of immense value. This task requires a certain set of skills that only a limited number of people inside the organization have. Or does it?
To help our customers achieve their goals with automation, we announced public Early Access for AI-Generated Runbooks. Now, Runbook Automation users can write the task they wish to automate in plain-English and let AI build a template of automation for that particular task.
Check out the blog post to learn more about this new experience. Don’t miss the videos on the blog post explaining some potential scenarios for the use of AI-Generated Runbooks.
Seamless Notifications with International SMS
SMS has been present in our lives for so long that we assume it is a technology that doesn’t fail. It is used as a second factor of authentication for many critical services, such as banking, so it must be flawless.
What if I told you that these assumptions are not entirely true? There are multiple challenges if you use SMS notifications globally due to laws and regulations in different countries that cause SMS messages not to be delivered.
Check out this blog post to learn more about the best practices that will help you reduce the probability of missing a notification. Don’t miss the video on the blog post providing a deeper dive into the topic.
Faster Insights and Smarter Recommendations with the new Analytics enhancements
Data has become the lifeblood of businesses, empowering organizations to make more informed decisions, drive innovation, and gain a competitive edge. At PagerDuty, we seek to empower our customers to make data-driven decisions in their journey toward a resilient operational foundation that keeps costly downtime to a minimum.
Last week we announced the general availability of new analytics capabilities, that include insights reports, recommendations report, operational reviews and the analytics API that will allow you to integrate your analytics data in any other platform you may use.
Check out the blog post and don’t miss the video that showcases the new PagerDuty Analytics experience.
