In today’s digital world, a company’s success is directly linked to their ability to keep up with technology and proactively monitor their IT infrastructure and applications. Recently, we had a customer who was struggling with proactive monitoring of their IT environment. They had gaps in the monitoring agents installed on their servers, as well as incorrect configuration of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Fortunately, our team was able to help them through a series of steps that ultimately reduced their ticket volume by 80%, saving more than 100 hours of human effort. Let’s dive into how we did it.
Our first step was to conduct an audit of the customer’s environment. This allowed us to get a full understanding of what hardware and software components were in place and identify any gaps that needed remediation. We found that some servers did not have the necessary monitoring agents installed and other KPIs were not properly configured.
Once we had an accurate picture of the customer’s environment, we created a heatmap so they could better understand where their strengths and weaknesses lay. This enabled us to quickly identify any architectural or sizing issues that needed addressing. We also used this heatmap to provide recommendations for improving efficiency across the board.
We suggested several solutions including hardware upgrades, high availability configurations, KPI configuration, and more efficient resource utilization—all designed to increase performance without increasing costs too drastically. By implementing these strategies, our customer was able to reduce ticket volume by 80%, allowing them to shift from reactive approaches towards more proactive methods for managing their IT infrastructure and applications.
