The 2025 Gartner Market Guide for Event Intelligence Solutions reflects a shift in how IT operations leaders evaluate AI-driven technologies. As AI hype gives way to more practical evaluation, we are seeing a natural departure from broad promises about AI capabilities toward clearly defined use cases and outcomes.

IT operations teams deal with growing system volume, faster release cycles, and tighter service expectations. Traditional monitoring tools generate large alert volumes, yet teams still spend hours sorting signal from noise under pressure. Manual triage slows response time, while disconnected tools stretch incident handling and service recovery.

Enterprise Management Associates found that major IT service outages are increasing in cost, frequency, and duration, with unplanned downtime costing large enterprises nearly $25,000 per minute, or $1.5 million per hour. When every minute costs $25,000, you can’t afford to waste engineering time on coordination tasks like creating channels, paging experts, typing summaries, and posting updates. An agentic AI-powered incident assistant can eliminate that waste and reduce bridge call costs.

Complex environments don’t fail because teams lack data. They fail when teams can’t trust what the data is telling them. There are too many signals, too little time, and too much risk riding on every decision. That’s the reality Skylar Advisor is built for: delivering guidance teams can verify, so they can act faster without gambling on opaque, black-box answers.
