Upskilling your Network Operations Center
Blog post from PagerDuty
Organizations are increasingly investing in AI and automation to enhance efficiency and reduce manual labor, particularly in Network Operation Centers (NOCs), where traditional methods like eyes-on-glass and catch-and-dispatch are becoming obsolete. By implementing upskilling programs, companies can retain talent, mitigate risks, and foster employee career growth while enabling NOC engineers to engage in high-value tasks like development and automation. Machine learning aids in noise reduction by filtering out unnecessary alerts, allowing engineers to focus on more critical issues. Event-driven automation minimizes manual intervention by handling incidents through auto-remediation and enriching data, ultimately reducing escalations and enhancing operational efficiency. Additionally, automation can streamline processes for routine IT tasks, significantly cutting down on idle time and improving overall organizational processes. Upskilling not only results in more efficient NOCs but also contributes to innovation and customer satisfaction, with tools like PagerDuty providing solutions to optimize NOC operations.
