How iQor reduced alert volume and service impact while building toward a more proactive IT operation
iQor is a global business process outsourcer with operations across 10 countries. Its IT organization supports customer-facing services where an outage can affect iQor, its clients, and the people those clients serve.
As iQor expanded its use of cloud infrastructure and moved workloads from one of its data centers into Amazon Web Services (AWS), the team needed better visibility across a more distributed environment. LogicMonitor became part of that effort, helping iQor identify issues, investigate them with more context, and understand their potential effect on customer-facing services.
Our adoption of LogicMonitor was the first step in the pursuit of instant IT.”
Keeping Pace With a Changing Environment
iQor was moving away from an entrenched monitoring solution that was no longer keeping pace with its environment. The team needed better visibility into cloud and hybrid infrastructure, along with reporting and data visualization to help IT understand what was happening across the environment.
LogicMonitor gave the team visibility across its changing infrastructure and network, including the ability to trace network paths and investigate issues across multiple sites and circuits.
Measurable Results
In the most recent 12-month period, iQor reported:
- 46% reduction in monthly alerts
- 49% reduction in higher-severity incidents
- 50% reduction in revenue-generating service impact
- 3-minute reduction in average MTTR
Catching Network Problems Before They Grow
Network operations are one of the clearest examples of how iQor uses LogicMonitor today.
The team receives regular reports on network activity, including short-lived circuit flaps that might otherwise be difficult to identify and investigate. When an event occurs, iQor can document what happened, investigate the underlying cause, and work with carriers or other providers using evidence from its monitoring environment.
“LogicMonitor is the signal detection.”
— Ryan Ferguson, VP of IT Operations, iQor
For iQor, that signal gives the team a starting point before an issue becomes a help desk ticket, customer complaint, or executive escalation.
Measuring What the Business Actually Experiences
iQor is also moving from device-level monitoring toward service-based monitoring, with a focus on understanding the health of the services supported by its infrastructure.
The goal is to help IT distinguish between an individual infrastructure event and an issue that actually affects the service the business is delivering.
Building Toward “Instant IT”
That approach supports Ferguson’s broader vision for the IT organization.
“My North Star for my department is instant IT.”
Ferguson sees AI as a potential next step, using the data and context already available through monitoring to reduce the time between detecting an issue, understanding its cause, and taking action.
For iQor, Edwin AI represents a potential next step in that journey, building on their foundation established with LogicMonitor.
