The Evolve Leadership and Technology Conference, hosted by our partner Trace3, saw over 1,300 IT execs gathering at Caesar’s Palace for two days of world-class keynotes and insights into the latest trends and technologies of the IT landscape.

A lot has been written about the ever-elusive “Single Pane of Glass” (or SPOG). From calling it a myth like BigFoot or The Loch Ness Monster , to reporting that “a centralized, service-centric view into IT environments has become a must-have capability for IT Operations” (2018 Digital Enterprise Journal Study), both opponents and proponents admit that the implementation of a centralized view into IT Ops is a real need, but at the same time, a major operational challenge.

I joined BigPanda a year ago yesterday – and I can truly say it’s been one of the most intense and exciting years, both personally and professionally. A roller-coaster ride of PG activities, POVs and nourishing partnerships with our prospects and customers. And looking back at all that I’ve gone through, one of my strongest takeaways is that while our product is amazing and our POVs are rock solid, in the end it’s the people who tip the scales.

The state of IT Operations today is loud, noisy and fragmented. This means that your service desk teams, that may be using ServiceNow, JIRA or other tools, are suffering. Sounds all too familiar, right? We know that the noise and chaos exist, and we know that they cause major headaches for service desk teams. The real question is, can we control it with AIOps? To put it simply, yes, the RIGHT AIOps tools can help.

It’s not just our customers who choose our technology time and again. BigaPanda is also recognised by the industry as an innovator whose cutting edge solutions provide Enterprise IT with both value and innovation. We’ve been named one of the 10 finalists for The MIT Sloan CIO Leadership Award in the MIT Sloan CIO Symposium Innovation Showcase, and one of the 30 Best Companies of 2019 by CIO Bulletin.
