Over the past two years, AIOps has seen tremendous gains, with more businesses adopting it and some becoming more adept at utilizing it. A survey conducted by Masergy says nearly 94% of IT leaders firmly believe that AIOps adoption in today’s ITOM is critical.
Enterprises have started implementing AIOps in ITOM to replace traditional ITOps tools and compete with modern business demands. However, a lot of businesses are still behind on this or continue to struggle with making AIOps work in their ITOM.
What is AIOps and how will it benefit your business?
AIOps, defined by Gartner® as artificial intelligence for IT operations, combines machine learning and big data to automate IT operations processes.
There are three key stages of AIOps:
- Observe: Better contextualize events, detect anomalies, and analyze performance metrics with historical and real-time data from different applications.
- Engage (ITSM): Automate tasks, analyze risks, and manage knowledge to navigate incidents and changes.
- Act: Use a variety of automation tools, including scripts, runbooks, and application release automations.
AIOps can greatly benefit your business. A report generated by Forrester Consulting says implementing AIOps can provide more visibility into your IT infrastructure and can boost operational efficiency, reducing false alerts by 95%.
Another report by Dynatrace found that 99% of companies manage their multi-cloud environments using an average of seven monitoring tools. Using these many tools makes it difficult to gain end-to-end visibility across business services. AIOps correlates data between multiple ITOps tools and provides you with valuable insights. It also helps your IT administrators by automating redundant tasks, thereby increasing their productivity.
