The average "lifespan" of a company on the Fortune 500 list has dropped from 75 to 15 years, indicating that today, a business' longevity is less to do with industrial decline and leadership, and more influenced by technology and trends, suggesting businesses need to be more agile. As digital transformation continues to change business today, innovative technology like observability with AIOps will play a critical role in helping brands keep up. And as more and more brands implement this innovative technology, there are three main ways they'll see it transform their business ...

Consumers have also become accustomed to what type of experiences they can expect from an application, with reliability and consistent performance being two of the biggest demands. If these expectations from consumers are not met, they look elsewhere for a service that will provide a stellar experience, leading to a loss in customers. Poor performance is no longer an option, and consumers believe it's the business' responsibility to ensure everything performs seamlessly ...

Unlike some AI initiatives, AIOps doesn't always necessitate the use of a data scientist, so don't let hiring expenses put your AIOps initiatives on hold. It is always nice to have IT team members with AI skills, but this becomes less critical as more intelligent solutions come into prominence that offer AIOps features out of the box, a readily deployable option for IT ...

Currently, (and most likely well into the future) the overwhelming majority of organizations still need to monitor and maintain enterprise applications. Moreover, where these are complex systems developed, debugged and refined over years, often decades, around a business's core processes, there can also be very strong practical arguments for viewing them as classics. They can offer a valuable legacy, one best left where it is, doing what it does, how it always has done ...

Anti-patterns involve realizing a problem and implementing a non-optimal solution that is broadly embraced as the go-to method for solving that problem. This solution sounds good in theory, but for one reason or another it is not the best means of solving the problem. Anti-patterns are common across IT as well, especially around application monitoring and observability. One that is particularly prevalent is in response to the increasing complexity of cloud-native infrastructure and applications ...

Software development is at the center of the digital future. Last year, it was put to the ultimate test when businesses around the world boosted digital transformation to the top of their agendas. As part of this shift, more companies chose to develop their own in-house software to further their digital efforts. However, this ultimately led to a break down in systems as these solutions were not developed with the wider business objectives in mind and simply were not successful ...

More and more mainframe decision makers are becoming aware that the traditional way of handling mainframe operations will soon fall by the wayside. The ever-growing demand for newer, faster digital services has placed increased pressure on data centers to keep up as new applications come online, the volume of data handled continually increases, and workloads become increasingly unpredictable. In a recent Forrester Consulting AIOps survey, commissioned by BMC, the majority of respondents cited that they spend too much time reacting to incidents and not enough time finding ways to prevent them ...

As we have seen during this digital transformation boom during the pandemic, technologists are managing more applications and data than ever before, which has led three quarters of technologists to be concerned with increased IT complexity. Even more significant, 89% admitted to feeling under immense pressure to keep up with the churn, according to the recent AppDynamics Agents of Transformation report. It's clear that the pandemic has pushed many technologists to their breaking point. To help tackle IT burnout, tech professionals need a "canary" to help them streamline and catch the anomalies before they cause any major performance issues ...
