VictorOps Donates Employee Time and Product for Community and Social ImpactVictorOps, the real-time incident management company for DevOps teams, today announced its new corporate social responsibility program titled GiveOps. The program formalizes VictorOps' commitment to donate 1 percent of employee time along with donated and discounted DevOps technology to deserving non-profit organizations and institutions of higher education. "When much is given, much is expected, so it's only fitting that we make this pledge during this phase of monumental growth in the company. We've always been about people and this program is an extension of that closely held value," said Todd Vernon, Co-Founder and CEO, VictorOps. "Donating our time and product in service to others is fundamentally the best way to build a business and especially our kind of business. The future will undeniably be built with software and ensuring that students are afforded the experience of maintaining software and troubleshooting outages as part of their educational experience will better prepare them for the high-tech job market post-graduation." VictorOps employees have been giving back since the company's inception, regularly donating the VictorOps product to burgeoning tart-ups and non-profits, and also recently announcing a mentoring program. Today the GiveOps initiative further validates and acknowledges these efforts. It is expected that GiveOps will annually deliver more than 1,000 hours of community service to organizations of all kinds in Colorado, across the country and abroad. "Making a difference in your daily work should equate to more than just what you do within the confines of your office walls, said Tara Calihman, one of VictorOps' first employees. "Incorporating the best pieces of our culture and setting aside time and intention to serve the greater community makes what we do here all the more impactful." In an effort to extend the mission of the GiveOps program, VictorOps is also inviting its customers and partners to join them in committing their time and product resources for the greater good.
