PagerDuty Operations Cloud Delivers Process Automation on AWS, Delivering Rapid Return on Investment and Better Customer Experience

Retrieved on:

Monday, November 28, 2022

Enterprises continue to face rising costs, increased pressure on short-handed teams, rapid growth of data volume and technology complexity, and consumers ready to move to a competitor with a single negative interaction. Organizations that manage their digital operations manually face longer and costlier interruptions, and require more resources to resolve issues -- even before factoring in damage to brand. According to industry analyst firm IDC, enabling better incident response communications improves efficiency, alignment, and productivity across disparate teams. IDC also quantifies the value of these IT staff efficiencies at an annual average of $2,447,878 per organization through PagerDuty1. Revenue, productivity, and team stability are all negatively impacted by inefficient, manually-driven digital operations.

Key Points:

PagerDuty Process Automation can be purchased in AWS Marketplace as either a fully hosted and managed software as a service (SaaS) or through a customer managed solution.
With Process Automation, PagerDuty customers that run on AWS are able to automate mission-critical work by identifying and resolving issues more quickly, and without resource-intensive, specialist intervention.
Unlike generic automation solutions, PagerDuty injects automation into real time and can be leveraged across the organization.
This comes one year after PagerDuty announced a multi-year go-to-market agreement with AWS that focuses on helping customers accelerate cloud adoption and streamline hybrid cloud operations.
