As businesses grow, so do their operational complexities. Incident management tools, once sufficient, often become bottlenecks to efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. This reality has driven many enterprises, including Fortune 500 companies, to seek better solutions. Squadcast has emerged as a trusted partner for organizations undertaking this critical transformation.
In this blog, we’ll explore how Squadcast helped global enterprises seamlessly migrate from legacy tools and optimize their incident management processes. By tailoring migration strategies to unique needs, delivering white-glove support, and enabling cost efficiencies, Squadcast has empowered teams to scale successfully.
Why Migration Matters
Migrating an incident management system isn’t just about adopting a new tool—it’s about enhancing workflows, improving collaboration, and ensuring that teams are better equipped to handle incidents. Organizations often face challenges such as:
Tight migration timelines.
Complex team structures.
The need for seamless data transfer without disrupting ongoing operations.
Cost inefficiencies tied to legacy tools.
Squadcast addresses these challenges with a structured migration process that minimizes disruption and maximizes operational efficiency. Below, we delve into some real-world examples of how Squadcast helped leading enterprises make the leap.
Customer Success Stories
1. Meeting Tight Deadlines with Precision
When a leading global security software enterprise decided to migrate from PagerDuty, their timeline was daunting—just two weeks to transition a team of 560 users across three divisions. With such a tight deadline, careful planning and execution were critical.
Approach:
Understanding the Requirements: Squadcast worked closely with team leads and managers to chart a tailored implementation plan.
Phased Migration: The migration was divided into six phases, each lasting 2–3 days. Sessions were structured to require 3–4 hours per day, ensuring the team could maintain ongoing operations.
Frequent Check-ins: After each phase, Squadcast conducted follow-up calls with team SPOCs (Single Points of Contact) to address any concerns or feedback.
Post-Migration Training:
Separate training sessions were conducted for users and admins, tailored to their specific responsibilities.
User training was divided into smaller batches of 50 participants to ensure interactive and effective learning.
Admin sessions lasted three hours, enabling deep dives into Squadcast's configurations and features.
Outcome: The enterprise successfully transitioned to Squadcast within the stipulated two weeks, with a fully trained team ready to utilize Squadcast’s advanced incident management capabilities.
2. Scaling Across Multiple Teams
Another global enterprise managing incident workflows for 12 teams and 150 users, sought to migrate from PagerDuty. They needed a structured migration plan that could accommodate their distributed team structure.
Approach:
Collaboration with Managers: Squadcast engaged team managers early to understand workflows, escalation policies, and integration needs.
Step-by-Step Migration: Similar to the previous use case, this migration was executed in six phases over a few weeks, ensuring minimal disruption.
SPOC Engagement: Post-phase calls with SPOCs ensured that the process was progressing smoothly and met team-specific requirements.
Outcome: The enterprise transitioned seamlessly, achieving better team alignment and workflow optimization with Squadcast.
3. Reducing Costs by Over 70%
Cost efficiency was the primary driver for one of our client’s (a leader in the Genomics sector) migration. They were spending over $500,000 annually on PagerDuty’s business plan for a team of 500 users. With Squadcast’s premium plan, they reduced their costs to $150,000—a saving of over 70%.
Approach:
Dedicated POC: Squadcast worked closely with their point of contact, to tailor a migration plan.
Efficient Timeline: The entire migration was completed in five weeks, balancing thoroughness and speed.
Cost-Efficient Optimization: Squadcast's implementation ensured that they retained all critical functionalities while drastically cutting costs.
Outcome: The enterprise not only achieved significant cost savings but also enhanced its incident management capabilities with Squadcast’s robust features.
4. Running Systems in Parallel for Seamless Transition
A leading financial services company required a phased migration approach where Squadcast and PagerDuty ran in parallel for the first month. This ensured a safety net as the team transitioned to a new system.
Approach:
Collaborative Setup: Squadcast engineers worked closely with their team to replicate their existing setup, ensuring feature parity.
Expedited Migration: The migration was completed within three weeks while maintaining uninterrupted operations.
Parallel Execution: Running Squadcast alongside PagerDuty allowed them to validate its new workflows before fully switching over.
Outcome: Seamless transition, with the team gaining confidence in Squadcast’s capabilities before fully adopting it.
