“I’m referring to the soul and essence of guerrilla marketing which remain as always —
achieving conventional goals, such as profits and joy, with unconventional methods, such as investing energy instead of money.”

2015 We Believe
• Enable self services• Transparency leads to better service
• Everything in source control- Cerner OpsInfra Team
14
2014 We Believe…
• A minimal number of associates need to directly touch nodes (approaching zero)
• These tools matter – improve the lives of our users• Tools should be hardened - so that we can find the
root cause and drive corrective action

Creating AlliesSplunk has played a vital role in stabilizing our Jira environments. In what would have taken weeks of manual correlation and analysis can be summarized in Splunk in matter of minutes.For example we were able to identify a server was excessively calling our server, then moving straight from that to the URI’s that the server was accessing. We were able to contact the team that was abusing our service and they were able to scale back their web calls correcting our slowness issue. Without Splunk I feel that this process would have taken weeks to discover, if at all. This is saving my team time in investigation, not to mention the time of all other associates by resolving this slowness issue quicker.Joe HostlerSystem Engineer, CWx Emerging Technology Services
