PagerDuty Accelerates Enterprise Reach and Customer Growth While Surpassing Industry MilestonesSAN FRANCISCO, April 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- PagerDuty, the global leader in digital operations management, today announced its continued momentum into enterprise and the business growth achieved over the last several quarters. The company has amassed an ever-expanding portfolio of more than 10,000 customers, including half of the Fortune 100. PagerDuty has also exceeded the $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) milestone through its award-winning products, hundreds of thousands of active users, and a few key strategic executive hires. As an early pioneer in the modernization of the incident management process within IT and developer operations, PagerDuty has rapidly evolved its platform to address the human operations factor in the always-on digital economy. The platform for action enables users in DevOps and other large business units such as security and customer service to achieve a balanced approach to addressing digital signal orchestration and overall employee well-being and health. Founded by former AWS engineers Alex Solomon, Baskar Puvanathasan and Andrew Miklas, PagerDuty began as a Y Combinator-backed startup that was quick to identify the rise of digital and the cloud infrastructure that came with it. Their vision to build a product that could help developer and operations teams immediately respond efficiently at the first sign of problems was the first of its kind for true digital incident response. In 2016, accomplished cloud executive Jennifer Tejada joined PagerDuty as the CEO and has led the company through the next critical phase in its growth. During her tenure, she has driven rapid innovation within the company and spearheaded a successful Series C round from Bessemer Venture Partners, Andreessen Horowitz and Accel Partners. Her passion for diverse and inclusive cultures has helped close the company's gender equity pay gap, balance engineering management demographics between men and women, promote diversity during hiring practices, and reinforce an equitable culture and work environment. The company has doubled headcount over a two-year span and plans to continue strategic hiring through 2018 and beyond to scale the business accordingly to continue product and customer growth. "From its onset, PagerDuty was built for people. We understand what digital disruption can do to the health and well-being of DevOps and other business users. As a result, our platform for action gives back lost time to the user and minimizes the 'all hands on deck' mentality to ensure a balanced operational response across teams," said Tejada. "Growing in a sustainable way from $1 million to $100 million in six years is a monumental milestone for any company, especially in the SaaS world where you have to consistently deliver value to continually earn your customers' loyalty. Our product, customer and company growth continues to accelerate our global expansion as we reimagine and humanize igital operations within enterprise." PagerDuty's enterprise-grade digital operations management platform was built to protect businesses from downtime, solving a $700 billion-dollar problem.* The company's unique platform enables customers like IBM, Gap Inc., Wynn Resorts and Netflix to go from digital signals to action in real-time and take advantage of a deep data set to resolve problems and provide insights into business and employee health. "To ensure Evernote customers' ideas are always with them and always in sync, we need to maintain as little downtime as possible," said Evernote CEO Chris O'Neill. "By providing the insights we need across the organization, PagerDuty plays a pivotal role in helping us deliver a great customer experience." Platform Innovation Businesses, particularly enterprise, have embraced the DevOps approach to real-time work within their organizations. Other business units and functions are beginning to use the PagerDuty platform such as SecOps to automate alerting and security incident management and customer support to reduce the time to acknowledge and respond to newly opened cases. Strategic Executive Hires
The company's executive team led by Tejada is gender-balanced, global (65 percent born outside the U.S.) and brings over 150 years of technology management experience from hypergrowth, large technology companies around the world in sectors spanning applications, infrastructure, security, payments and consumer technology. Employee growth has more than doubled since 2015 and will reach 400 by the end of the year.
