Needs

Incident management & on-call. Our hosted service runs huge numbers of syncs and we need fewer incidents and calmer on-call rotations.

Today: a small reliability group tuning dashboards and alerts while setting standards for on-call · Urgency: now

Faster month-end close. Our small finance team still closes the books with spreadsheets and wants the monthly close largely automated.

Today: a lean finance team replacing manual close steps with modern accounting and spend software · Urgency: now

SOC 2 / ISO 27001 automation. Keeping our security certifications current eats engineering time we would rather spend on product.

Today: engineers pulling together audit material alongside product work for held certifications · Urgency: this year
