About The Presentation
Genuine Parts Company (GPC) Is the global leader in the commercial and automotive aftermarket. With more than 6000 stores and over 60 distribution centers in North America alone, the operational health of their IT systems is paramount. Dan will share his journey from typical siloed operations and application development that generated more than fifteen thousand alert emails per month. Then, how GPC used OBM to pull a conglomerate of monitoring tools and data together into a single view while focusing on creating a culture change of partnership, and collaboration. Additionally, he will discuss how the unforeseen pandemic propelled GPC’s tools into the forefront aiding in rapid digital transformation. Finally, how GPC is maturing today with ChatOps and automated INC response and avoidance.
