Today's demand for high-speed everything brings potential unforeseen challenges to your infrastructure environments. A single rogue failure or a noisy neighbor can result in a loss in customer satisfaction or confidence. Plus, when your virtualized applications delivery infrastructure are siloed, small problems can turn into big situations. This all quickly leads to the all too familiar IT war room scenarios. 

Does your enterprise experience application outages and/or application slowdowns? For those who have experienced these problems, you also have experienced the IT war room, which conjures memories of extreme inefficiencies - from tedious conference calls, to blame storms, with each person ready to be the first to prove their innocence, rather than contribute to solving the problem at hand. How did we get here? 

Join 451 Research and Virtual Instruments as we discuss: 

- Technology trends that led to the nightmare war room scenario
- Siloed monitoring tools and organizational models that exacerbate the problem
- Options for improving – or even eliminating – the war room
- Benefits you can expect to realize by solving inefficient war rooms

Stop the Nightmare IT War Room

This webinar is brought to you by the Vivit Software Lifecycle Integration Special Interest Group (SIG).

Anyone who has ever attempted to enforce alignment across many domains/projects/teams in order to allow for global reporting will be well aware of its drawbacks and problems.

The list of issues includes:

•Changing processes and tools
•Having to retrain a large number of people
•Delays and disruption
•Resistance from the users and leads who are busy trying to get on with their day-to-day work 

In this webinar, we will explore another way of achieving global reporting across different domains by well thought through synchronization.

•Real time reporting with virtually no lead-times
•Teams can keep their own customizations, definitions and processes with no need for change
•No input and hence no time required from team leads/end users
•No disruption, no delays
•No expensive re-training, restructuring, systems changes

ALM JIRA & Beyond:  Reporting Across Teams and Tools through Synchronization

*What are the adoption plans for AI in companies' DCX strategies?
*How are companies using AI in the contact center, to measure customer success, and to engage customers?
*What are the key benefits--and they key problems--with AI?
*Which AI technologies do companies plan to use?

We look forward to sharing this information with you!

However, this transformation does not happen overnight, but is achieved through a 4 step process, 

What you will learn in this webinar:

• Assess your current organizational needs to determine required metrics
• Transform your environment to support cross-project and release wide 
reporting
•  Automate and manage data collection
• Visualize ALM data to provide real time insights for decision making
