Background

158 countries, 721 locations, and 250.930 people

The customer is operating within auditing, accounting, and tax and business advisory services and firms operating in 158 countries and 721 locations, with 250,930 people. In When the firms operation team encountered visibility issues, they contacted us at Rocket to help them transition from a reactive to a proactive IT operations approach.

 

Lack of visibility

The firms IT operations team lacked visibility when it came to the health and performance of services which were being constantly rolled out by the project teams, designers, and architects.

 

Solution

Deploying Splunk

We advised the firm to deploy Splunk for SIEM, Desktop Monitoring (UberAgent+Splunk), Splunk for Infrastructure, and Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI).

 
We involved Rocket to, among other things, shift from a reactive to a proactive stance for our IT Operations. We wanted to see problems before they created an outage or user impact. With Splunk, IT got better control over the capacity of the network, operations of the servers, and performance of the users’ computers.
