As Covid-19 restrictions and predictions march on unabatedly, people are starting to think about what may be long-lasting changes to industries. The tech industry is a mixed bag: it all depends on your perspective. Layoffs are becoming commonplace, especially in BtoC tech startups: Lyft and AirBnB recently announced massive cuts. The giants-- which include the usual suspects Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Apple, Netflix--are faring remarkably well, as discussed in a recent New York Times op-ed.

ServiceNow® is facing one of the biggest opportunities to date: developing a self-healing IT environment that makes proactive IT support a reality. Although the concept of self-healing has been around for at least a decade, the ability to achieve it has fallen short. A lack of system intelligence stopped us from predicting and preventing many issues without human intervention somewhere in the process. AI technology is changing that paradigm.

Taking economics into account Most enterprises consider economics when deciding which AIOps platform to purchase. Often, their conception of economics is narrow, reduced to the resolution of three issues: 1) the cost of the technology; 2) its ability to replace human labor; and 3) its ability to displace deployed products and, hence, defray future maintenance and subscription charges. In other words, AIOps economics becomes almost entirely a matter of cost.

So much of the digital transformation conversation is naturally focused on technology, but technology alone isn’t transforming any business. The rest of the story depends on the people and evolving the culture to drive adoption, champion benefits, and advocate for wider acceptance. Driving change organizationally to implement wide-scale IT automation and AIOps starts with developing the right message.

ITSM systems and processes are similar to a front line defence system for Enterprises’ effort, in delivering superior customer satisfaction to its IT users. Enterprises are always looking for ways to resolve tickets as fast as possible and at an optimal cost. AIOps systems play a key role in automating data collection required for analysis , equipping support teams with insights to take immediate remediation action and eventually leading to automation of the complete process.

Moogsoft Enterprise consolidates visibility and control of monitoring tools to help entire IT Ops and DevOps teams reduce noise, prioritize incidents, reduce escalations and ensure uptime. Working from anywhere, users can easily find and resolve the root cause of incidents before they become outages.

Today, the customer experience drives IT on all levels. In our digitally transformed world, we do everything online — transact, interact, purchase and more. This mandates constant change and zero downtime. Ironically, as enterprises adopt IT innovations, IT environments get harder to manage and impact the productivity and agility of DevOps and SRE teams — and as a result, the customer experience suffers.
