EMA Webinar to Outline the Business Case for Automating IT Incident Response
Leveraging EMA research and a case-based approach, this webinar will explain why not taking advantage of automation is a costly mistake for most organizations
BOULDER, Colo., May 15, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading IT and data management research and consulting firm, today announced it will host a webinar titled "Critical Incident Response: Why Good Enough is Just Not Good Enough," featuring Valerie O'Connell, research director of IT service and business management at EMA, and Vincent Geffray, senior director of product marketing at Everbridge.
Technology incidents happen every day to companies of all sizes, across every vertical, in all degrees of impact from inconvenient to potentially catastrophic. So, by definition, all organizations do IT incident response. The question is, how well do they do it? Research from EMA shows that unless the response takes advantage of automation, the answer "not nearly well enough" is an understatement.
With the average time to engage the right response team taking 1 to 2 hours, and the average time to resolve a major outage taking 5 to 6 hours, there is a definitive need for immediate and dramatic operational improvement.
During this webinar, O'Connell and Geffray will explain:
- How to reduce mean time to repair (MTTR)
- A simple method to determine when to invest in an improvement
- Top automation drivers, indicators, obstacles, and benefits
- Quantifying the high cost of the status quo
The webinar is Wednesday, May 22 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern. Registration is available at: http://info.enterprisemanagement.com/critical-incident-response-webinar-pr
