Industry: Gaming & Hospitality (Casinos, Resorts, Hotels) | Challenge: No unified Major Incident Management | Solution: PagerDuty-driven MIM pilot with automated escalation & notification
A leading Gaming & Hospitality company (15+ casinos/resorts) had no formal Major Incident Management process, leading to alert fatigue, 15-20 minute bridge assembly, and unmanaged guest-facing outages. After a $280K loss during a Super Bowl weekend slot outage, MindScope IT ran an 8-week PagerDuty MIM pilot on 3 critical services (Slot Management, Hotel PMS, Loyalty). Results: time to declare major incidents dropped from 15+ min to 3.2 min (79% faster), team assembly from 20 min to 2.5 min (87% faster), MTTR from 55 min to 28 min (49% faster), and ~$150K loss avoidance during pilot. All 6 major incidents completed post-incident reviews. The client approved enterprise rollout across all properties.
