From manual monitoring to proactive optimization, learn how Tipalti used AutoOps to save 10% annual costs. For a global payables automation leader like Tipalti, where financial transactions are the lifeblood of the business, infrastructure performance isn't just a technical goal; it's a core business requirement. Managing a complex ecosystem of databases, including Postgres, SQL Server, MongoDB, Kafka, and Elasticsearch, with a lean team of four engineers demands efficiency and powerful tooling.

The need to differentiate IT Service Management (ITSM) and Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) has now become impractical in an era of immense technological complexity and unlimited demands for operational efficiency. Organizations today increasingly rely on both digital services and physical assets to derive value; however, siloed processes and disparate data repositories lead to slow incident resolution, uncoordinated change initiatives, and hidden risks.

WiFi Access points (APs) are the foundation of business WiFi. They’re the devices making sure laptops, smartphones, and even IoT gadgets connect reliably without cables. If an access point fails or becomes overloaded, the entire wireless experience can collapse, no matter how strong your Internet connection is. By keeping a close eye on your APs with the right WiFi access point monitoring software, you can catch issues before users even notice them.

And how to apply these two concepts to improve service delivery across departments.

In the rush to adopt AI in IT operations, many organizations focus on feeding copilots as much data as possible. But here’s the problem: data without context is just noise. An IT copilot that can’t distinguish what matters from what doesn’t won’t reduce alert fatigue or accelerate troubleshooting.

You’ve successfully run a Fault Injection test and uncovered a new failure mode before it impacted customers. And the failure could have taken down your whole system if it had happened in production. Now what? Since this is a potential P1 outage, you absolutely need to address the issue, but that’s going to take some time as you dig through the service to track down the problem. Unfortunately, this is a common conflict.

As IT environments grow more distributed and resilient, the Progress WhatsUp Gold network monitoring solution is evolving to meet the moment. Starting in early 2026, Progress will officially retire the legacy Failover Manager and usher in a new era of high availability (HA) by design. This modern, scalable approach aligns with today’s best practices in infrastructure.
