We found that agnosia quite nicely describes what is happening with companies’ efforts around experience. Their inability to identify you as the same individual after having repeatedly interacted with them as a customer and user and employee over a period of time, might cause you to question your sanity when interacting with them. 

On Monday, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) announced its intention to acquire OpsRamp, which offers a multitenant AIOps-powered IT operations management (ITOM) solution for hybrid cloud environments. Its AIOps solution will be integrated into HPE’s GreenLake edge-to-cloud Platform. OpsRamp’s 300 employees will join HPE’s office of the CTO. Terms of the OpsRamp acquisition were not announced, […]

The definition of “asset” has broadened well beyond traditional financial boundaries in the earliest days of IT asset management. Technology stakeholders are often confused over what constitutes an asset, and the technologies to enable enterprise asset management frequently add to this confusion.

Understanding which vendor supports your perspective is your first step toward a successful AIOps implementation, and this Landscape report provides you with a starting point.

The Forrester Wave™: Artificial Intelligence For IT Operations, Q4 2022 evaluated 11 vendors on 35 different capabilities. Read the report to see the vendor that came out on top with the highest-ranked capabilities for the broadest set of organizations.

Secure systems deliberately hide details and access points to fly under the radar. Poorly designed systems and poor tooling and instrumentation unknowingly expose sensitive details or hide vital operating telemetry. Be deliberate in your observability design and tooling.

Classic horror movie quirks closely resemble what we’re seeing in firms looking to innovate and differentiate yet are running from rather than toward AI and advanced automation.

We all see and experience things through the lens of prior travels and encounters. This is no different from the path you choose to move forward with your AIOps implementations. An outcome of our Now Tech: Artificial Intelligence For IT Operations, Q2 2022 report was confirmation that more vendors have entered the AIOps market. I […]

The 2022 AIOps NowTech generated a wealth of data that has been captured in the AIOps Data Overview, Q2 2022 report about AIOps software vendor capabilities. Three items from the overview report; digital experience, OpenTelemetry, and audit trails are highlighted in this blog. Read the full data overview report to learn more about the other capabilities that it covers.

It’s been a long time coming, at least in mind anyway, but I’ve finally got some great news to announce. We have just published four AIOps-related reports that I’m really excited for you all to finally read and provide feedback on. Read on below to get a synopsis of the three reports. The fourth report […]

Definitions can be murky. Our new reports aim to provide clarity and guidance around artificial intelligence for IT operations.

Late Sunday evening, Bloomberg reported rumors of advanced Broadcom talks to acquire VMware, which has since been confirmed this morning. In light of Broadcom’s investment activities in the past few years, this news is unsurprising. It made a string of massively expensive enterprise software company acquisitions: Brocade Communications Systems in 2016 ($5.9 billion), CA Technologies […]

AIOps builds upon observability and monitoring to develop deep AI driven insights that enhance human judgements. As we move from monitoring to AIOps, we also move from a reactive to active, then proactive footing before establishing the predictive capabilities AIOps promises. Biomedical devices function the same way. They use the body's telemetry and then act on it before harm is done.

AIOps solutions are composed of various technology components that work together to address organizational needs. This requires an underpinning superstructure that enables interoperability. The superstructure provides connectivity horizontally across point solutions and vertically through the tiers of capability. 

In AIOps: The Riddle Wrapped In The Mystery Inside The Enigma, I sort of left you hanging without a clear answer to “What is AIOps?” That was because there really isn’t a simple answer based on how it’s been previously defined. Discussions of AIOps have mainly centered around installable software when they should have been […]

You can't manage what you can't observe. Learn the value of practicing a common understanding of observability.

As I worked to develop guidance around AIOps, I soon found that other commonly used terms were equally confusing to people in our industry. How is it that an industry with so many highly educated professionals can have so many problems with words? The latest IT linguistics conundrum is “observability.” While developing my AIOps reference […]

It didn’t take long into my tenure with Forrester to realize that there was confusion in the industry regarding AIOps. I touched on this in my “meet your new analyst” blog. Both technology vendors and industry companies openly asked me what the term meant, because they are hearing many variations. They gave me examples of […]
