How to Optimize Automation ROI with Deep Observability | Research

Event Overview

You can't automate what you can't see. Therefore, investing in observability of your IT environments is critical for driving automation success. The problem is that business processes are supported by multiple IT teams and environments, and observability is not always prioritized in large-scale automation initiatives. Join WWT's Kevin Wald and Mike Cervasio, both of whom are automation experts, as they talk about how to gain observability in IT environments that in many cases are decades old. Kevin and Mike also touch on key metrics to track to make sure you're getting the most ROI on your automation investments and how observability can quickly lead to scalability.
