Tools Consolidation: Multiple and disparate tools impact an organization’s ability to monitor their whole IT estate efficiently as data silos turn into organizational ones. Consolidating disjointed IT tools into a single platform like SL1 helps to lower operational costs, therefore increasing staff productivity and efficiency.
Simplify IT Operations and Visibility: Minimizing visibility gaps and consolidating monitoring enables 100% visibility eliminating hidden risks, minimizing downtime, and faster issue resolution.
Challenge
As PQR prepared to take the first step on their AIOps transformation journey creating a platform for centralized monitoring and automation, they faced several challenges:
● Inconsistent Monitoring: PQR’s legacy tools were non intuitive, required a relatively large amount of administration to configure, and — due to the lack of Autodiscover — routinely missed a lot of metrics and triggered unnecessary alerts.
● Inefficient Onboarding: Depending on who configured an account, customers might have different setups. In addition, onboarding employees was often a time-consuming process.
● Strained IT Resources: Legacy tools required too many manual operations and were inefficient at data analysis, troubleshooting, and incident management — tying up IT resources in low-value tasks. Making incident prevention difficult and limiting the ability to deliver on differentiated experience level agreements (XLAs) and support a new hybrid workspace Monitoring-as-a-Service (MaaS) offering.
Solution
ScienceLogic’s SL1 platform helped PQR improve service management performance in several key areas.
Better Customer Experience
SL1 helped PQR improve the customer experience by improving operational efficiency. For example, SL1 powers smooth onboarding for hybrid cloud workspace offerings by delivering critical insights into user experience levels, and keeping customers informed on incidents avoided.
Triage and Incident Automation
PQR integrated SL1’s operational data lake with their service desk to drive intelligent incident automation and enrichment with diagnostic data captured at the time the events occurred. ScienceLogic’s Powerflow Builder allows them to sync SL1 data with Autotask, and certain runbook automations trigger automated ticket creation into Azure.
Improved Service Visibility
SL1’s full-stack data integration into service-oriented dashboards provides PQR with the ability to monitor and gain real-time insights for multiple customers within a single tool . They have an instant overview of the whole chain of their environment, which they can share with customers.
“PQR has invested a lot in maturity, scalability, and knowledge of our Managed Services business, and ScienceLogic has been a big part of that. Now we can continue to improve and innovate with new services, which will be vital for our year-on-year growth in Managed Services.”
