Bryan, the Operator

Monitor Personas
“I can find the root-cause of an anomaly by prioritizing alerts and trouble-shooting data across multiple systems with 100.000’s of IO points and take early actions to prevent a costly M$ crisis”

Bryan is an Operator in a remote operations control center in an asset-intensive industry. He works shifts and is assigned monitor responsibilities on one or more sites with control systems up to 100.000 analog and digital Input- and Output-points (IO points) each.

His organization needs to scale operations using a more automated solution designed to find the issues before an alert is triggered in the control system so he can mitigate issues and impact before damage occurs or production halts. He needs real-time visibility, root-cause troubleshooting, and AI-driven alerts at scale.

Oscar, the Application Administrator

Monitor Personas
