Value results
| Category | Value result |

| Capability | New joiners can see how reliability engineering actually runs |
Story
Maersk did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed reliability engineering to move. In Denmark, SRE and operations already knew where backup and failover went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
IBM Instana from IBM is now in that path. IBM offers hybrid cloud, AI, and automation software, including watsonx, Red Hat OpenShift, and observability products for large enterprises. The company treats it as production tooling for reliability engineering, which is why SRE and operations live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
Maersk can show how backup and failover is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run reliability engineering on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
