ERM is Engineering Relationship Management, an approach to software development and security that centers on restoring DevOps visibility. It aims to cut through cloud complexity and ensure you have all you need to see clearly, work smartly, and make informed DevOps decisions.
Crash Override is an ERM platform. It is the technology that brings ESM to life. It connects all the DevOps dots to create a Single Source of Truth that tells you what code, tools, and services you have, how they are deployed, and how they are changing.
ERM is for any organization with a sizable cloud computing footprint and a desire for greater clarity on (and control over) DevOps. It’s for businesses of all sizes, across almost any industry. But it appeals most to those companies with complex infrastructure and production environments.
If your data is stored in various spreadsheets and silos, your software consists of code drawn from multiple sources, or you use a host of DevOps tools and services, ERM will benefit your business. And if your DevOps teams have lost track of how everything fits together, it will change the way you work forever.
Ultimately, an ERM platform creates a Single Source of Truth for DevOps.
It achieves this in several ways.
DevOps runs on and generates a remarkable amount of data. Much of it is stored in dozens, sometimes hundreds, of siloed tools, spreadsheets, and systems. Crash Override collects and connects all relevant data, breaking down silos and making tribal knowledge a thing of the past.
Crash Override shines a light on your hidden infrastructure, exposing valuable resources, identifying instances of shadow engineering, and improving security and supportability. With a Single Source of Truth, you have a clear roadmap for optimizing your infrastructure.
Your code is written by dozens of developers in multiple programming languages and draws from open-source repositories, development tools, and AI technologies. Crash Override connects your code’s who, what, and when, so you have total visibility on its origins, evolution, and deployment. It’s an always-accurate and automatically updated change ledger for your software.
Crash Override gives you complete oversight on your DevOps and security tools, detailing the functions they perform, whether you use them, and where they overlap. In doing so, it enables you to retire, migrate, and standardize your tools for a more streamlined and cost-efficient stack.
Crash Override establishes a clear chain of accountability, improving transparency in DevOps and simplifying communication. Team members are directly linked to the work they perform, making it easy to establish responsibility and ensuring everyone knows exactly who to contact when issues arise.
An ERM platform improves process and workflow efficiency and reduces the costs associated with building, securing, and managing software. It also enables developers and engineers to work in a way that maximizes their value and makes the most of their skills and expertise.
Code-to-cloud visibility ensures you understand exactly how everything fits together, so you can work far more efficiently. It facilitates quicker fixes and targeted responses. It equips engineers with the information they need to operate strategically. And it promotes cleaner infrastructure that’s easier to manage and audit.
Crash Override reduces the costs associated with building, securing, and managing software. It helps you reduce waste and retire tools that don’t provide sufficient value. It simplifies audits and streamlines time-intensive tasks. And it lets you transition away from wasteful and expensive short-term fixes and focus on work that drives real value in your business.
An ERM platform connects your people and enhances DevOps collaboration. Now, your team can instantly attribute ownership to an individual, resulting in quick and clear communication. Clarity means there is less confusion, frustration, and conflict. And it means developers and engineers can swap the ‘busy work’ for more meaningful and challenging tasks, resulting in happier, more productive teams.
Honestly? We don’t know until we sit down to talk.
But we’re not going to bend your ear or twist your arm to sell you a solution you don’t need.
Instead, we’ll take 30 minutes to demonstrate what Crash Override can do and how it solves DevOps difficulties.
