VictorOps, the leading collaboration and incident management platform designed for DevOps teams, today announced the addition of follow-the-sun scheduling to the VictorOps platform. Now, VictorOps customers who have on-call counterparts in other parts of the world can simply and clearly manage schedules. This addition makes it possible for global teams to divide 24/7 on-call responsibilities by daylight hours so no one has to be on-call at 2 AM.
"We are constantly thinking about how to make it easier for IT to collaborate and solve problems faster and smarter," said Todd Vernon, co-founder and CEO, VictorOps. "The addition of advanced scheduling is in response to direct feedback from Fortune 1000 companies with advanced on-call requirements."
With the addition of advanced scheduling, the VictorOps platform accommodates traditional 24/7 scheduling, follow-the-sun and custom scheduling giving teams the ability to work in partnership to resolve incidents regardless of physical location or time of day. Each of these scheduling types continues to work with existing VictorOps functionality including scheduled overrides and on-demand on-call swap.
"By addressing the complexity and tangle of schedules that make up a global team, the VictorOps platform enables IT to collaborate between teams like never before. Not to mention that it brings us another step forward in our mission to make being on-call suck less," continued Vernon.
