Cortex

““With Cortex, we’re not just managing services better; we’re fundamentally changing the way we work and collaborate to support the healthcare organizations who rely on us every day.””

““Now we’re having meaningful conversations every day around service maturity, code quality, and reliability because Cortex makes the rules and standards visible to everyone.””

““The Slack integration couldn’t be clearer or more helpful. Every Monday, teams see exactly where they stand and how they can improve.””

“Our biggest issue was that we lacked centralized visibility into our repositories and ownership structure, which made fast decision-making incredibly difficult.”

“The finish line isn't merging a PR, but ensuring software you own actually works in production. Collecting telemetry, setting up alerts, and owning the fix. Cortex brings all of the inputs for this work into one space so devs can really take ownership over what they build, without slowing them down.”

“In the case of our Kubernetes migration, the ability to drive timely action cut our projected timeline from 24 months down to 16, enabling us to capture savings and productivity benefits 8 months earlier than expected.”

“With Cortex, we set a year-long goal of hitting 25 deployments per week. Within months, we went from 17 per week to 32.”

“There's a gamification element in Cortex where teams can compare themselves to one another. Anyone can see straight away who's improving, who's falling behind, and who needs more support.”

“One of the biggest improvements we've seen since implementing Cortex is in our Mean Time to Restore; which we were able to reduce by 67%. Being able to quickly find up-to-date service information, and have requests immediately prioritized is a small operational change that has enormous impact.”

““The ride that we're on with Cortex is giving us that.””

““We have to produce and maintain the right level of quality for our customers,””

““From sales and pre-implementation to gut-checking a new idea, they’re always quick and they’re spot on.””

““Cortex as a product has been outstanding, but my favorite part has been working with the Cortex teams,””

“"There hasn't been anything that we haven't been able to do. We've been able to model things in different ways to see how it works."”

“"You can look at other products, but you're not going to find anything that's going to match the flexibility and the speed that you can get things up and running."”

“"This is the angle we look at Cortex from right now. We can utilize it so much more and improve the developer experience so much more. So that's what we're going for."”

“"If I had to choose between hiring one more person or purchasing Cortex, it would be an easy choice: Cortex definitely makes a bigger difference."”

“The scorecard was able to give me a report of who already has the latest version and will survive the shutdown of the container registry, and more importantly, who will not. I was able to dial down on who were the biggest offenders, who were slow to upgrade, and who I needed to help.”

“If we did not have anything at all, administrative methods would be our only choice. I would be writing to all the managers telling them if they didn't do what we asked, they wouldn't be able to deploy.”

““Whether you're a general manager at Xero or an engineer, you're looking at Cortex as your source of intelligence about how we're building software. It's a massive leap forward for us.””

“Generative AI is making the raw materials of software engineering cheaper. It's not going to put software engineers out of a job. It just means there's going to be a whole lot more software. That’s going to be a real challenge, and Cortex helps us manage that sprawl.”

“It's democratising engineering knowledge. Having the ability to go, 'What is this thing? Who is it? Who can I go and talk to about it?' is the most useful thing for us.”

“It has allowed us to close the loop between what we're doing, what security operations teams are doing, and what the engineering teams are doing themselves.”

““We didn't force it. Teams added more data on their own because they saw the benefit.””

“"This is one of the coolest things we've built. Being able to query Cortex through ChatGPT or Slack and get ownership or repo links instantly is game-changing."”
