Operations | Monitoring | ITSM | DevOps | Cloud

IT operations have reached a breaking point. Hybrid cloud and modern software architectures have led to unprecedented increases in the scale, complexity, and fragmentation of IT infrastructures. In their attempts to manage this complexity, enterprises invest billions into observability tools, IT Service Management (ITSM) platforms, and outsourced Managed Service Providers (MSPs).

According to a recent survey by Enterprise Management Associates, IT outages can cost large enterprises more than $1.5 million per hour. AIOps offers a solution. With an effective AIOps platform in place, enterprises can decrease the frequency and cost of outages by 30% and reduce their duration to under an hour. AIOps means artificial intelligence for IT operations.

Fragmented tools, teams, and processes are more than an inconvenience in IT Operations. They are major bottlenecks that hinder collaboration, slow down incident resolution, and jeopardize customer experiences. In a recent webinar, Adam Blau, VP of Product Marketing at BigPanda, and Britton Starr, a Technical Account Manager, shared their insights into the operational chaos plaguing modern enterprises.

Hybrid and multicloud IT environments have become standard for enterprises, and with good reason. These environments offer greater flexibility, improved resilience, and optimized performance by allowing organizations to leverage the best features of multiple cloud providers while maintaining the security of on-premises infrastructure.

Gartner recently released their 2025 Market Guide for Event Intelligence Solutions. Gartner states, “Event intelligence solutions (EISs) apply AI to augment, accelerate, and automate responses to signals or events detected from digital services.

ITOps and Incident Management teams must manually handle high volumes of daily alerts, tickets, and incidents. This makes it challenging to spot recurring patterns that could be addressed or prevented. Without proactive problem management, teams waste time resolving repeat issues instead of focusing on higher-priority or first-time problems. Limited visibility into incident trends forces organizations to engage in reactive firefighting, diverting valuable time from addressing the root cause.

IT service management (ITSM) and IT operations management (ITOM) both have the mandate to ensure your organization’s IT systems and infrastructure run smoothly and efficiently. These two frameworks are essential for any modern IT environment, but their roles are often confused or misunderstood. Simply put, ITSM focuses on the user-facing side of IT, streamlining services and aligning IT processes with business objectives.

Machine-generated data has exceeded human scalability, straining L1 Ops and Service Desk team resources. Fragmented data across tools, teams, and silos hinders situational awareness, delaying each action – from detection to remediation, making prevention increasingly unattainable. The latest BigPanda updates enhance ITOps and ITSM team efficiency throughout the incident lifecycle.

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a European Union (EU) regulation that requires financial institutions to improve their digital operational resilience. DORA creates a uniform regulatory framework across the EU to strengthen the European financial market against cyber risks and IT incidents.
