Event Management Integration with SolarWinds for a Communications Enterprise
Client Profile
-
Industry: Communications
-
Size: 1,000+ Employees
-
Duration: 4 Months
-
Objective: Implement ServiceNow Event Management and integrate SolarWinds monitoring data
Executive Overview
A mid-sized communications enterprise sought to modernize its monitoring and incident response capabilities by implementing ServiceNow Event Management and integrating it with SolarWinds and additional alert sources. The organization needed centralized visibility into events, improved routing logic, and faster incident resolution without replacing its existing monitoring investments.
ConfigureTek delivered a fully integrated event management framework that enhanced operational agility and significantly reduced response times.
The Challenge
-
Fragmented monitoring data across SolarWinds and email-based alerts
-
Limited centralized event correlation and routing
-
Slow incident response and prolonged Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR)
-
Lack of impact visibility across service hierarchies
-
Untapped alert data that was previously ignored
The organization required a structured solution to unify monitoring data and improve operational effectiveness.
