Every government leader knows these challenges all too well—and many now realize that end-to-end observability is a key enabler of IT modernization efforts and critical to making data-driven decisions at mission speed.
Datadog is a unified observability platform that collects, processes, and analyzes performance data from your entire IT environment, providing the visibility you need to advance your technology initiatives quickly and securely.
4 Outcomes of Unified Observability
1. FASTER TIME TO REMEDIATION
It’s imperative to fix IT issues quickly, before they disrupt service. Datadog provides real-time performance data on your infrastructure resources (on-premises, hybrid, and cloud-based), applications, third-party services, and end-user experiences. Being able to access all this information in a single platform means faster time to detection and resolution.
2. IMPROVED SECURITY POSTURE
Agencies are required to meet strict requirements to protect sensitive data and maintain regulatory standards. This requires them to proactively manage security risks when onboarding or building new IT. Observability provides real-time visibility into system behavior, allowing agencies to detect security threats, monitor access controls, and ensure compliance with regulations such as FedRAMP®, HIPAA, and ITAR.
3. INCREASED OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY
Observability enables agencies to streamline operations, improve collaboration, and enhance efficiency. Agencies can leverage insights into their IT environments to identify areas of improvement, optimize workflows, and automate processes for cost savings and increased developer productivity. Observability platforms also break down organizational silos, providing a unified view of key data that is accessible across teams, including leadership, development, security, and operations.
4. CITIZEN CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CITIZEN CX
Observability empowers government agencies to deliver a seamless user experience to citizens. By monitoring end-user behavior, performance metrics, and application traces, agencies can foster trust in government by strengthening cybersecurity controls and improving the technologies that deliver citizen services.
