PagerDuty just went public. CEO Jennifer Tejada and CFO Howard Wilson explain the next steps for this DevOps company after its IPO.
CEO Jennifer Tejada tells us that PagerDuty chose to go public now not for any immediate financial reason, but rather, as a way to generate buzz and signal to enterprises that the company was here and ready to serve larger customers.
"When we think about growth, it's largely driven by the fact that every company is becoming a software company," PagerDuty CFO Howard Wilson told Business Insider."We see our growth opportunity associated with helping the company deliver services." In general, Wilson and Tejada say that the company sees opportunities to expand into other aspects of the business as well. Already, PagerDuty is being used in customer support, security, marketing, and finance, the company says.
"The value is very obvious to people. We've made it really easy for the product to use," Wilson said."You can actually go there and be up and running and get immediate benefits. We think of it as being a consumer-grade application on top of an enterprise grade platform. That's how developers have come to know us. There's been a viral adoption within companies."
