The challenge

Anaplan, a connected planning platform used for demand visualization and sales forecasting, found that platform outages directly affected its customers. Its mean time to acknowledge incidents averaged 2-3 hours and mean time to resolution for high-severity incidents was around 3 hours.

The solution

Anaplan adopted PagerDuty to streamline incident detection, routing, and response, reducing the resources required to manage each incident and accelerating acknowledgment and resolution.

By leveraging PagerDuty, Anaplan has minimized the resources needed for an incident and helped reduce our outage times, customer escalations and – in the end – helped save Anaplan a lot of money.
