Observability improvement

80% fewer alerts. 4× faster response.

Built an SRE function, mapped critical systems and redesigned monitoring around business impact.

-80%+

alert volume

Thresholds were redefined and noise removed, leaving only alerts tied to business impact.

4×

faster incident response

Unified dashboards and clear ownership shortened the time from alert to resolution.

-40%

fewer incidents

Root-cause fixes replaced temporary patches across the mapped critical systems.

The challenge

Support specialists across four global regions (USA, Japan, Europe and India) were overwhelmed by incident, bug and support tickets, with little visibility into 30+ live systems. Alerts fired more than 200 times a day across all severity levels, creating noise and masking real issues. Critical incidents sometimes went unresolved, causing business disruptions that better monitoring and focus could have avoided.
