A Automating alerts for phone outages cuts out delay in manual reporting and directly gets the right team involved fast. Dashboards are good, but this targets a key pain point more precisely.

Option A makes sense because automating alerts for specific issues like phone outages means the right team gets notified immediately without waiting or missing manual checks. That direct approach can definitely speed up responses.

It’s B, dashboards help spot multiple issues quickly, not just one outage.

I get why dashboards (B) are useful, but I think automating alerting for phone outages (A) might be more direct. It cuts down the time it takes for IT support to know there’s a problem without having to monitor constantly. This immediate notification could really speed up response times compared to just monitoring on a dashboard. So I’d go with A here.
