Have you met anyone in your organization who likes the budgeting process? Probably not. Business areas don’t like to get stuck with allocations granted from guessing the amounts they’ll need long before a solid plan is in place. The finance department gets blamed when the business areas don’t get what they want. Executives dislike the infighting and arguments that result when people seek funding for projects that only somewhat align with the organization’s goals.
Employees are constantly bombarded with pings, bells, and dings announcing texts, chats, and emails—even at night and on weekends.

Just as your navigation technology helps keep your journey on track, full visibility into IT issues is vital. That’s what automated service operations offers. When different teams use different tools with different views of data, it can be a struggle to see if there’s a problem.
Building modern, cloud-native applications introduces new challenges to teams and organizations. As these systems grow and scale, struggles abound: inconsistent performance monitoring experiences across siloed tools, wasteful performance management practices with duplicated efforts, and mounting frustration from colleagues and customers. Surmounting these challenges requires multiple sources of data and truly unified observability.
