State of Gender Diversity in the Tech Channel is a new research initiative designed to examine gender diversity and inclusion (D&I) progress across the entire ecosystem of partners, vendors and distributors in New Zealand. This in- depth survey was conducted by Reseller News and focuses on three core pillars of gender D&I, spanning Tech Industry, Workplace and Personal Experience.
The study is based off of the responses of 160 New Zealand-based responses. Research was open to female, male and other gender identities, welcoming submissions from CEO to graduate levels across all company sizes, industry segments and locations. Questions were designed to be fielded by participants across different age groups, cultural backgrounds and job functions - spanning management, sales, operations, technical and marketing roles - irrespective of industry tenure.
The aim was to independently and confidentially source a range of perspectives industry-wide, aligned to the collective goal of moving the conversation forward in relation to gender diversity and inclusion within the channel.

In this book, we will look past the hype, and take a closer look at what AIOps actually is—and what it can help you achieve. First, we’ll explore why AIOps is necessary. We’ll talk about how environments, and the teams that manage them, have evolved in an increasingly multi-cloud world. We’ll explore how observability of the infrastructure is fundamental for helping IT organizations work more proactively and strategically.
Next, we’ll present a basic definition of AIOps, and its ability to apply an automated early warning system to discover potential issues and provide the context you need to take action. By knowing what is happening, where it is happening, and why it is happening, you can solve problems faster, deliver the best possible service quality, and stay focused on driving digital transformation. This is a fundamental first step toward a failure prevention system, or automated remediation.
Finally, we will talk about the primary steps involved in creating your own AIOps initiative. We’ll take a closer look at how AIOps helps organizations bring together big data from across the technology stack, surface only the most relevant issues, and apply advanced algorithms to deliver more meaningful alerts. Our book will conclude with an overview of some key best practices you can apply to implement the most effective AIOps solution, and realize the best return on your investment.
