ESG Trends

Accelerate IT operations with AI-driven Automation

Automation in IT operations enable agility, resilience, and operational excellence, paving the way for organizations to adapt swiftly to changing environments, deliver superior services, and achieve sustainable success in today's dynamic digital landscape.

Driving Innovation with Next-gen Application Management

Next-generation application management fueled by AIOps is revolutionizing how organizations monitor performance, modernize applications, and manage the entire application lifecycle.

AI-powered Analytics: Transforming Data into Actionable Insights 

AIOps and analytics foster a culture of continuous improvement by providing organizations with actionable intelligence to optimize workflows, enhance service quality, and align IT operations with business goals.  

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, businesses rely heavily on complex IT infrastructures to ensure seamless operations and high performance. However, with the growing complexity of IT systems, managing incidents, alerts, and events has become a significant challenge for IT teams. Recognizing this, Gartner has recently introduced the term Event Intelligence Solutions, marking a pivotal shift from the well-known concept of AIOps. But why did Gartner make this move, and what are Event Intelligence Solutions all about?  

Cloud managed services not only simplify IT management but also enable businesses to achieve operational excellence by enhancing efficiency, cutting costs, and fostering business agility. By outsourcing the management of cloud infrastructure, companies can focus on innovation and growth without being burdened by technical complexities. With the global cloud managed services market expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.7% through 2030, it’s clear that more and more businesses are realizing the value of this transformative approach.

But what exactly makes cloud managed services so vital for today’s businesses, and how can they unlock new avenues for growth? 

What Are Event Intelligence Solutions?

Event intelligence solutions refer to the use of advanced AI and machine learning techniques to manage, analyze, and derive insights from IT events across an organization’s technology infrastructure. These solutions collect data from various sources—such as servers, networks, and applications—to provide real-time insights, helping IT teams to identify and resolve issues before they impact business operations. 

Unlike traditional monitoring systems, which often lead to siloed data and alert fatigue due to the sheer volume of information, event intelligence solutions filter and correlate events to surface only the most relevant information. The goal is to deliver a proactive, automated approach to problem resolution in complex IT environments. 

Why Did Gartner Rename AIOps to Event Intelligence Solutions?

Key Metrics for Effective Automated Regression Testing

The increasing reliance on cloud-based solutions, coupled with the growing complexity of IT infrastructure, has led to an overwhelming demand for cloud managed services. Here are some compelling reasons why businesses need these services today: 

1. Increased Customer Expectations

Gartner’s renaming of AIOps to Event Intelligence Solutions reflected the industry’s broader shift toward event-driven insights and the growing need to manage data noise more effectively. AIOps originally focused on applying AI to IT operations to automate and improve processes like incident management, root cause analysis, and performance monitoring. 

However, as the volume of IT events—ranging from system alerts to performance metrics—grew exponentially, organizations needed more precise tools to filter out irrelevant information and focus on actionable insights. The term “event intelligence solutions” better captures the essence of this evolution. Rather than just focusing on AI-driven operations, it emphasizes the intelligence aspect: 

  • Ingesting and correlating events across different domains and monitoring tools. 
  • Analyzing events in real-time to provide actionable insights. 
  • Detecting anomalies and identifying patterns to prevent potential incidents. 
  • Automating event remediation to ensure quick resolution and reduced downtime. 

Tailor KPIs to Your Use Case: 

For example, a financial services app might prioritize low response times for transaction processing, while an e-commerce platform might focus on throughput during high traffic sales events. Customize your performance KPIs based on your specific application and business needs. 

Qyrus, for instance, offers real-time tracking of these KPIs, enabling teams to monitor them during test execution and view historical performance trends. This continuous feedback loop allows Agile teams to tweak their systems to ensure they meet business goals. 

The Challenges in Modern IT Environments

Modern IT environments, particularly in large enterprises, face several challenges that require intelligent solutions: 

1. High Volume of Events and Alerts

With numerous systems, applications, and devices in an organization, IT teams can be bombarded with thousands of alerts each day. This overwhelming volume makes it difficult to prioritize and address critical incidents in a timely manner. According to research, 71% of IT professionals report that managing event noise is a significant challenge in maintaining operational efficiency. 

2. Siloed Data and Processes

Different teams often use separate tools and data sources for monitoring and management, leading to isolated silos of information. This makes it difficult to gain a unified view of the IT landscape, slowing down the detection of incidents and the identification of root causes. 

3. Complexity in Root Cause Analysis

As IT infrastructures grow in complexity, identifying the root cause of incidents becomes increasingly difficult. Traditional monitoring tools may generate alerts but lack the intelligence needed to pinpoint the exact source of an issue, leading to prolonged downtime. 

4. Escalating Operational Costs

With the sheer volume of data and systems to manage, organizations face rising operational costs, both in terms of resources and personnel. The need for constant monitoring and manual intervention can strain IT teams, diverting focus from strategic initiatives. 

Did you know? According to a report by Forrester, companies using cloud-based testing environments have reduced their testing costs by up to 45% while improving test coverage by 30%.

How Event Intelligence Solutions Address These Challenges

Event Intelligence Solutions offer a comprehensive approach to overcoming the challenges faced by IT environments. Here’s how these solutions can benefit organizations: 

1. Noise Reduction and Prioritization

Event Intelligence platforms like Qinfinite help in filtering out irrelevant or low-priority alerts, ensuring that IT teams only focus on critical events. By utilizing AI and ML algorithms, these tools can analyze patterns and historical data to distinguish between routine occurrences and significant anomalies that require immediate attention. This reduces “alert fatigue” among IT teams and ensures that major issues are not missed amidst the noise.  

2. Unified Data and Centralized Monitoring

These solutions aggregate data from various sources and tools across the IT ecosystem, providing a centralized view of all operations. This unified approach enables faster identification of incidents and provides a holistic view of the IT infrastructure, helping teams make more informed decisions. 

Event Intelligence Software integrates seamlessly with existing IT systems, offering real-time dashboards that provide insights into event statuses, system performance, and potential vulnerabilities. 

3. Automated Root Cause Analysis

One of the key benefits of Event Intelligence Solutions is their ability to automate root cause analysis. By applying AI-driven analysis to historical data and event logs, these solutions can quickly identify patterns and commonalities that point to the root cause of an incident. This significantly reduces the time needed to diagnose issues and allows for faster resolution. For instance, a major telecom company using event intelligence reported reducing mean time to repair (MTTR) by 40% after implementing automated root cause analysis through AI and machine learning models. 

4. Proactive Incident Management

Rather than waiting for an incident to cause significant disruption, these solutions are designed to proactively monitor potential issues and alert teams before they escalate. By leveraging predictive analytics, these tools can forecast potential failures and trigger preemptive measures, leading to improved system reliability and uptime. 

5. Cost Efficiency

Event Intelligence Solutions streamlines IT operations by reducing the need for manual intervention and enabling proactive management. This helps reduce operational costs, as organizations can allocate their resources more effectively. Additionally, the automation of incident detection and resolution minimizes downtime, which can have a significant financial impact on the organization.
