Our SRE offering and services 

SRE for continuous business processes

Our site reliability engineering (SRE) services guarantee the smooth functioning of digitised business processes. Continuous application optimisation ensures stability and availability even in the face of rapidly increasing user numbers.

Due to the weekly addition of new features, the business-critical application of a shipping company is becoming increasingly unstable. The frequent changes eventually take their toll and, one morning, customers and partners are unable to access the service for many hours. The company faces a significant loss in revenue and confidence and therefore puts extreme pressure on the IT team to resolve the issue.

Solution:

The IT manager calls in a Swisscom CRE to resolve the issue, which is clearly caused by the excessively rapid innovation of the application. To strike the right balance between innovation and change, and eliminate the technical debts, the CRE introduces ‘error budgets’. This restores application reliability and resolves a problem that had been brewing for some time. At the same time, the IT manager meets the expectations of his CEO, who wanted a solution yesterday.
