Derdack achieved Microsoft Azure Certified status for their flagship product, Enterprise Alert. Enterprise Alert is now available through the Azure Marketplace.
For the first time customers of Derdack that don’t want to go for an “on-premises” product can deploy and use Derdack’s software in the cloud. With Enterprise Alert running on Azure, enterprises and organizations can benefit from automating critical notifications and emergency communication processes, from mobile alarm management and app-based mobile incident handling while enjoying the reliability, scalability and beneficial payment model of cloud solutions.
“Our product is addressing needs for accelerating mission-critical communications and notifications. Enterprise Alert provides full automation of previously manual processes and communication-enablement of applications and services. A deep integration into existing systems as well as utmost reliability and availability are essential; we found that Azure provides the perfect foundation in these aspects.” comments Matthes Derdack, Chairman of the Board, Derdack Corp.
Derdack’s Enterprise Alert transforms the way in which critical incidents are communicated and maintenance engineers, IT admins, crisis managers or security officers are notified when and wherever needed.
Enterprise Alert:
- Accelerates the speed and reliability of delivering incident and emergency alerts
- Fully automates critical notification and communication workflows
- Provides smartphone apps for truly mobile alarm management, incident response and remote control
- Enables targeted, auditable notifications with delivery tracking and escalations
- Uses the full range of communication channels like voice, text, IM, push, email, fax, etc
- Integrates seamlessly with business applications, e.g. Microsoft System Center, Microsoft Lync, Biztalk
- Is used for operations of data centres, manufacturing lines, utility and power distribution systems etc.
Matthes Derdack adds, “We have chosen Azure as the foundation of our cloud offering as it represents the most productive, reliable and advanced cloud offering on the market today. We have been building our solution on the Microsoft technology stack for more than a decade and it is the next logical step for us to base our cloud initiative on Azure. A growing segment of our customers and prospects are looking into the cloud as a new software delivery channel. We believe the combination of Enterprise Alert and Azure creates a unique value proposition and beneficial software delivery option for our customers.”
“Business solution vendors like Derdack are a crucial element of accelerating the adoption of cloud computing. We are pleased to see Derdack’s enterprise notification and mobile incident management software integrate into Azure,” said Garth Fort, General Manager of Enterprise Partners, Microsoft. “Solutions like Enterprise Alert can open entire new customer and application segments for Azure and add additional value for our customers.”

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
