a) Without a change in processes you need to replicate some of that at home
of every onshift engineer of your NOC.  This might sound expensive but a
single failure might cost you more.

b) But to be honest, most of the monitoring done by "a hundred of blinking
red eyes in a monitoring room" should be replaced with data analysis,
correlation tools, and automated alerts.  Those don't look that awesome on
the Instagram accounts of your marketing team but work better.
