What Is Access Provisioning? An Overview of Its Benefits and More

The headline in the article by Stephanie Mehta linked below piqued my interest and it’s one that I also found quite disappointing. Per Jennifer Tejada, CEO PagerDuty - “You have to anticipate these failures because they are the new normal,” It turns out that I actually agree with the main premise of the article, which is that businesses should be intentional about planning for tech outages so that they can rapidly recover and ensure continuous business operations in the event of one. That said, there’s no reason that outages like CrowdStrike’s should become the new normal. This is one case where looking backwards might help us to move forward. There are two frameworks that have been successfully used to prevent network outages and to minimize software bugs that were once more widely recognized as top industry standards and that we need to take another look at. First, there’s Five Nines (99.999%) reliability that was embraced by the telecom industry. It required that architectures, processes, and policies be designed to ensure that network outages were limited to no more than five minutes of downtime per year. It was designed to be an always on business and they did an excellent job of living up to that standard. These days many more businesses are supposed to be always on and some even position themselves as always on businesses, but they aren’t architected to the five nines standard. Maybe it’s time they should be because in some ways the stakes are much higher now and and businesses’ track records aren’t living up to the always on hype. Meanwhile, Carnegie Mellon University’s Capability Maturity Model (CMMI) Level 5 was once embraced as the standard for determining whether a company’s software development practices were designed to deliver bug-free software. Both of these standards have been criticized for being overkill, too onerous, or too expensive, but you can’t argue with their results. They have lived up to the hype as advertised and delivered for the businesses and industries that have snapped to them. Meanwhile, the costs of adhering to these standards pales in comparison to the costs incurred by meltdowns from outages like the CrowdStrike one. Think about it. Have you ever tried to make a toll-free call that didn’t go through because the network was down? No, the problems we are seeing in other industries now are because these standards have been pushed to the back burner or never embraced at all. We need to rethink that urgently! Weigh in with your thoughts and don’t be shy. https://lnkd.in/e4zG3T5C #cx #customerexperience #customerobsessed #customerobsession #crowdstrike #microsoft
