The SquaredUp motto is Measure What Matters – sometimes though, the processes that really matter can be located at numerous different points up, down and across your organisational landscape. This can make surfacing your most important measures – i.e. your KPIs – somewhat problematic. At SquaredUp, we have been thinking hard about this problem and have now released the initial version of our solution – KPI roll-ups.

As someone deeply invested in the evolution of SquaredUp, I’d like to share more about our search capability and how we designed the functionality. SquaredUp can connect to 100+ data sources, thousands of objects, tons of metrics, and and we offer many purpose-built out-of-the-box dashboards and monitors. We've deliberately designed our search experience to be able to handle the complexity of various data environments and make finding relevant information seamless and efficient.

What if I told you that you're using dashboards wrong? Imagine this: You're on a call with your team, staring at a big, static dashboard full of graphs and numbers. Someone pipes up, "Okay, so what now?" Everyone exchanges glances, unsure of how to move forward. You've got the data, but somehow, you're still stuck. If you’re nodding along, we feel you. The truth is, the way we’ve been using dashboards is outdated. They’re static. They’re rigid.

The principle of continuous improvement is central to the practice of observability. Naturally, within the data-driven philosophy of DevOps this implies an ongoing cycle of acting, measuring and improving. For many teams, the classic four DORA metrics are seen as a gold standard. As I discussed in a previous article, whilst DORA metrics are a great starting point for assessing your agile capabilities, they are not necessarily definitive.

Last week, we were very excited to host our second virtual customer workshop! We’d received so much positive feedback on last year’s debut that we knew we had to do it again. Using the digital conferencing app Gather Town, we were pleased to welcome 89 attendees from 13 different countries to our virtual “SquaredUp Town”.

A friend of mine once had an annual appraisal where his manager blithely declared to him that his target for the next year was "to exceed his targets". Rather than spend the next year screaming silently whilst trapped inside an MC Esher-esque cycle of infinite recursion, my friend politely demurred and requested a more achievable goal, such as building a time machine out of jellybeans.

Azure DevOps is a robust tool that integrates a wide range of development and project management functionalities into one platform. It covers various aspects of the software development lifecycle, from version control to continuous integration and deployment. However, when it comes to dashboards, Azure DevOps leaves much to be desired. Here’s why these dashboards often frustrate users.

From super-fast dashboards to automatic application mapping, Squared Up transforms Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) into a complete Enterprise Application Monitoring experience.
At its core, Squared Up delivers a fully modernized SCOM user experience, but you'll also discover how you can use SCOM to deliver a complete Enterprise Application Monitoring solution, and even use our integrations to provide a single pane of glass across your entire IT infrastructure.
Enterprise IT complexity meets modern data visualization:
- Total SCOM dashboards: Squared Up is a complete HTML5 user experience for SCOM, with industry-leading dashboard capabilities - from Visio integration to performance graphing - and comprehensive, dynamic drilldowns generated by our unique Total Dashboard Architecture.
- Enterprise Application Monitoring: By using data visualization to better understand the data you already have, we leverage your existing investments in SCOM to deliver a complete Enterprise Application Monitoring solution.
- One view for hybrid cloud monitoring: Squared Up creates an independent presentation layer that aggregates your existing data in SCOM with data from other tools such as Azure Log Analytics. As you start to adopt new platforms your users don't need to learn any new tools, they just get the data they need when they need, all in a single pane of glass.
Transforming IT operations for enterprises worldwide.
