Accelerating engineering excellence at world class organizations
Javier de Vega Ruiz
"One of the biggest improvements we've seen since implementing Cortex is in our Mean Time to Restore- which we reduced by 67%. Being able to quickly find service information is a small operational change that has enormous impact."
Kurt Christensen
“More and more we think of Cortex less as a product and more as a platform on which we are building all of our internal intelligence for engineering.”
Shaun McCormick
“We know if an engineer gets pulled out of what they’re doing, it takes 30 minutes to re-engage, Cortex lets us reduce noise and keep our team focused on the highest priority work.”
Amanda Jackson
“Walk away from a spreadsheet for a minute, and it’s already stale. With Cortex, we never have that issue. I can just trust that information is always up to date, and we can leave devs alone that have already done what they need to do.”
