BigPanda Inc. enables its customers to organize and mobilize the world’s DevOps and ITOps data. BigPanda’s Incident Intelligence and Automation platform, powered by AIOps, empowers some of the world’s largest brands to keep business running, prevent service outages, and improve incident management to deliver extraordinary customer experiences. BigPanda’s platform is critical for organizations across industries and enterprises of all sizes, from small and medium to Fortune 500 companies, to power their digital services.

According to EMA Research in 2024, 82% of IT organizations characterized incidents and outages as increasing each year despite millions of dollars invested in observability and ITSM solutions year over year. 
However, increases are not inevitable. 
EMA research reveals that 18% of IT organizations are going against the trend, actually decreasing incidents and outages through technology, processes, and practices.
Join BigPanda and EMA Research in a practical discussion on how enterprise IT organizations approach modern incident management, real-world automation, and how Generative AI solutions impact incidents and outages.

ITOps teams need the full context for every incident, upfront, to quickly and consistently remediate incidents at scale. 

By leveraging AIOps, innovative operations teams can get a clear view of every incident with aggregated & correlated data from topology, change, observability, and CMDB tools, but also augment team knowledge and skills with insights into previous incidents, runbooks, root cause, and more.

Join industry experts to discuss the proven value of full-context operations, the benefits of AI in delivering incident context, and how you can begin to take advantage of AI-powered IT Operations for your enterprise.

Knowledge is power: How AI delivers vital context to IT Operations

Managing alerts and incidents in today’s hybrid cloud landscape presents significant challenges. Fragmented visibility and siloed data across on-premises and cloud deployments can disrupt traditional ITSM workflows, hindering efficient incident resolution and proactive problem prevention.

This session explores how Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) can empower ITSM for a hybrid cloud future. AIOps leverages machine learning and AI to streamline & accelerate incident management within complex hybrid cloud architectures.

The session will address how:

- Boost Efficiency and Speed: AIOps automates tasks, streamlines workflows, and accelerates incident resolution.
Enhanced Visibility and Proactive Insights: A comprehensive view of your IT ecosystem makes automated root cause analysis a reality.
- Conquer Hybrid Cloud Complexity: Overcome configuration management challenges by streamlining data collection and enrichment of alerts and incidents across the IT stack.

Automating incident response is a formidable hurdle for IT Operations. Resource limitations, lack of an understanding of the root cause of the issue, and not having a flexible automation solution are among the inhibitors. 

Fortunately, thanks to a new native integration between Ansible Automation Platform and BigPanda, along with certified Content Collections in the Ansible Automation Hub, ITOps teams have the tools they need to streamline their automation journey. This secure and user-friendly framework accelerates and automates incident response activities, improving Mean-Time-To-Resolution (MTTR).

In this webinar, we'll demonstrate how ITOps can harness the power of BigPanda and Event-Driven Ansible to create a full response:

- Leverage the BigPanda analytics and insights to identify prime automation opportunities
- Resolve alerts and incidents, update incident tags, and add comments to remediated incidents using BigPanda and Ansible Automation Platform’s Event-Driven Ansible 
- Utilize Big Panda’s Unified Analytics to showcase the effectiveness of automation initiatives so you can further expand automated responses

From observability to action with Event-Driven Ansible and BigPanda

Most enterprise ITOps organizations desire a state of self-healing systems capable of identifying and resolving issues without human intervention. While the allure of eliminating known, repeatable incident response workflows offers immense promise, these initiatives often fail to get off the ground.

Join Joe Pisciotta, Principal Product Manager at Red Hat® Ansible® and Blair Sibille, Field CTO at BigPanda, to learn how IT operations can jumpstart automation programs that tie together Incident Intelligence from BigPanda solutions with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform – so you can go from knowledge to automated response. Strategies to be shared include: 

• How to identify repeated incidents and record the agreed response 
• Automate alert and incident response using BigPanda and event-driven Ansible® 
• Analytics to show the value automation is delivering to your organization

Top 5 AIOps predictions for 2024

Generative AI shows incredible promise, particularly when it comes to explaining complex terms in natural language. But can AI help ITOps teams struggling to keep up with a flood of incidents that demand their attention?  In this web conversation, Jon Brown, Senior Analyst at ESG, is joined by BigPanda Field CTO Blair Sibille to discuss the reality of AI for IT.  

Attendees will learn:
- The current state of Generative AI
- How to best apply AI to ITOps to get real value
- The importance of clean, enriched data for reliable results

The speakers will highlight why generative AI is becoming a necessary tool to make incident response faster, more accurate, and more consistent than humans can achieve alone. Attendees will also learn about practical outcomes of generative AI and will see a demonstration of generative AI in action – summarizing incidents, proposing impact, and suggesting likely root causes.

Cutting Through the Hype – Generative AI for ITOps

Constantly evolving IT environments have created an order-of-magnitude increase of change and complexity. Containers, CI/CD, microservices, and cloud-native applications deliver a deluge of alert and change data across a multi-cloud IT stack, making it nearly impossible to pinpoint the root cause of incidents - especially in real-time.  

The result: Reliance on manual, error-prone processes that strain already limited IT resources. A new approach is needed to identify the specific change causing an incident in real-time so organizations ensure service reliability while harnessing the power of hybrid cloud. 

Join our panel of IT leaders across diverse industries as they discuss how they prioritize AIOps strategies to accomplish faster and more reliable incident root cause discovery, impact incident triage, and significantly reduce mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) beyond what manual resources can achieve.

Attendees will learn:
- The current state of root cause discovery
- How to optimize the application of AI/ML through enrichment and correlation
- The importance of clean, enriched data for reliable and reportable results

How to use AI to extract root cause from observability data
