ScienceLogic is a leader in IT Operations Management, providing modern IT operations with actionable insights to predict and resolve problems faster in a digital, ephemeral world. Its IT infrastructure monitoring and AIOps solution sees everything across cloud and distributed architectures, contextualizes data through relationship mapping, and acts on this insight through integration and automation. Trusted by thousands of organizations, ScienceLogic’s technology was designed for the rigorous security requirements of United States Department of Defense, proven for scale by the world’s largest service providers, and optimized for the needs of large enterprises.

IT technical talent, already in high demand, is now at a critical shortfall. The global Great Resignation magnifies the existing talent shortage which in turn heightens the need for automation. Digital transformation initiatives in hyperdrive, stumble when IT talent is hard to source and swamped with routine tasks. At the same time, businesses can’t tolerate operational delays and service disruptions.   

Organizations are turning to Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) solutions in large numbers. These solutions enable automated processes that free valuable resources to pursue innovation, drive digital transformation, and slash service disruptions.  

But what exactly is AIOps?  In this webinar, Valerie O’Connell EMA Research Director, and Leslie Minnix-Wolfe, ScienceLogic VP of Product Marketing look to define AIOps in its current state and explore its potential to solve real-world business challenges. They will discuss the intersection of EMA AIOps field research and practical guidance from the proving ground of real-world experience.  

This spirited, interactive session will dig into topics such as:  

1) Which matters more, AI or IT automation?  
2) AIOps impact on IT’s role and business relationship  
3) The AIOps use cases that give top results  
4) Drivers, drawbacks, and delivered benefits  
5) Metrics that matter  
6) Platform vs best-of-breed – is it either/or?  
7) What do AIOps and the Great Resignation have in common?

AIOps Means Business: IT Innovation for Competitive Edge

When your application is underperforming, what should you do? For years, IT has focused on individual servers, databases, and network devices. But your customers—and employees—just expect applications to work. So, while it's essential to monitor the individual layers and components of your hybrid IT infrastructure and applications—there are simply too many components for anyone to understand how it all works together, much less know when and what is impacting your end-users.  

In this second webinar in a multi-part AIOps journey series, we’ll demonstrate how ScienceLogic SL1 helps businesses shift from individual device monitoring to business service monitoring so you can:  

-Gain service visibility across your entire IT estate—from users to the infrastructure 
-Proactively avoid service outages by understanding risk of business service impact  
-Reduce incident noise by correlating all data within a service context 
-Prioritize incidents based on business service health, availability, and risk 
-Speed root cause analysis by correlating events, changes, and anomalies within a service context

Five Reasons Why You Should Make the Shift to Service Monitoring

There is a lot of buzz over the terms ‘AIOps’ and ‘Observability’ but business leaders are struggling with how best to leverage data and insights provided by these technologies.  In this session, hear how combining observability data with AIOps insights and automation can present an opportunity for IT Operations to not just detect the presence of problems, but also uncover their root cause and resolve them. We will discuss ScienceLogic’s approach to automate the “observer” and leverage observability data with AIOps to enhance business service insights, accelerate root cause analysis and automate remediation.

With businesses across industries leveraging cloud technologies to optimise their operations and processes, cloud services have never been in such high demand. As more of the organisation leverages the cloud, IT spends are skyrocketing and organisations are quickly realising the enormous burden that managing and maintaining the infrastructure places on internal developers. 

In response, cloud providers are adapting their service offerings, moving away from the conventional subscription-based model to offer more custom services, tailored to organisations’ individual needs. 

In Episode 34 of Digital Transformation in Action, we're exploring how the cloud industry is adapting its offerings to empower IT teams to accelerate innovation in the multi-cloud world.

Topics for discussion include:

- The cost of digitisation: how IT needs are shifting as company-wide digital transformation initiatives take force
- From subscription to service model: how cloud providers are adapting their offerings to help IT teams accelerate innovation
- Adapting to IT evolution: what does the uptick of as-a-service offerings tell us about the future of business?
- And more…

Adapting Cloud Services to Keep Up with Business Innovation

Face it: Your team – current employees and the ones you are desperate to recruit – do not want to spend their time on manual, routine IT processes and workflow.  Both you and they would rather focus your hard-earned skills on strategic or more productive activities. The solution seems obvious: automate those repetitive, manual functions. How to do that is less clear. The good news is that with ScienceLogic SL1, you don’t have to be a developer to create automated workflows.  Join this session to learn how your IT staff can use SL1 PowerFlow, ScienceLogic’s low code/no code workflow automation tool, to automate workflows that connect your IT systems and platforms.

How to Achieve 80% Automation for Ticketing and Routing

Technology operations can become chaotic as businesses become increasingly digital and infrastructure sprawls. And chaos means cost when manageability and observability headaches develop. Multi-cloud management, incident response, technology debt, and IT workloads are challenges across all industries and often hold organizations back from achieving their core business objectives.

Intelligent, automated operations accelerate profitable growth by reducing and redirecting costs. Automating costs out of the operations side of technology initiatives allows customers to reclaim resources and focus on growing the business. In this way, AIOps increases service quality, efficiency, and agility, ultimately reducing operational workloads.

This webinar, drawing on dedicated MSP research, explores current attitudes and intentions around IT operations, whether artificial intelligence is being utilized, and trends amongst service providers supporting customer development. We reveal their approaches to managing customer infrastructure, and whether they are modernizing, monetizing, and maximizing margins through automation. Are MSPs expanding beyond traditional IT? Are they keeping a lid on customer costs? And, are they transforming fast enough to remain competitive?

If analytics is the brain of AIOps, then data is the fuel that feeds that brain. Unfortunately, most organizations are feeding their brains a poor diet – it might keep you alive, but you won’t thrive. And somewhere down the road, you’ll likely encounter health problems. So how do you go from a poor diet to a balanced diet?  It starts with modernizing, rationalizing, and consolidating your monitoring and observability tools—allowing you to capture the right data, at the right time, in its various forms and locations—establishing a balanced data “diet” that contains all the nutrients your AIOps brain needs. 

In this webinar, we’ll explore how ScienceLogic SL1 helps you lay the essential data foundation for your AIOps journey. Better yet, we’ll demonstrate how you can get started today: 

-Consolidate tools and unify monitoring in one platform.
-Start discovering and monitoring on-premises infrastructure using standard SNMP and WMI protocols.
-Connect to and monitor cloud resources running inside and out of your datacenter, including “as a Service” (IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS) solutions.
-Fuse APM, configuration, change, fault, performance, user/digital experience, log, and relationship data in real-time. 
-Deploy agent and agentless monitoring scenarios.

Data: The Fuel for Your AIOps Brain
