SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blameless, the leading Reliability platform for DevOps and SRE teams announces the release of new, expanded integrations with ServiceNow and Microsoft Teams. Together, these mark a major step forward, towards the goal of running a modern, streamlined, incident management process for enterprise customers. These now join other major integrations within the Blameless ecosystem like Slack, PagerDuty, and Jira, significantly broadening Blameless’ footprint in the enterprise SaaS market.

Importance of Incident Management In Building Reliability

Enterprises rely on solutions like ServiceNow and Microsoft Teams, to better communicate and manage ticketing, in service of creating compliant, secure, and reliable IT and business operations. However, when it comes to addressing customer-facing or critical incidents, DevOps teams need dedicated, integrated, incident management features to speed time to assembly and resolution.

Centralized incident management solutions make it much easier to assemble the right responders, and start communicating across clear roles and playbook steps. Chat-apps like Microsoft Teams are the perfect tool to start the incident response process. Utilizing Blameless bot commands within the chat-app streamlines the entire subsequent workflow. Blameless automatically creates a dedicated Teams channel that includes a live “incident summary” tab. Keeping all stakeholders informed and updated, while gathering every piece of relevant data for clean retrospective reports. For teams using ServiceNow, a record is simultaneously created, updating both ServiceNow and Blameless, in real-time. This communication across tools from a centralized location reduces the load on engineering teams while protecting customers from the negative impact of slow, disorganized incident response.
