As enterprise IT grapples with rising complexity, scaling challenges, and costly incidents, agentic AI offers a solution. Agentic AI allows organizations to harness a broad, differentiated dataset that unlocks the long tail of information in chat histories, call transcripts, ITSM logs, manual workflows, and more. Using this data, I&O teams can gain instant access to organizational insights to detect, respond to, and prevent IT incidents at machine speed. 

Put simply, agentic AI holds the keys to transforming ITOps and ITSM. Making this a reality in organizations has remained elusive, but BigPanda offers a pragmatic path forward.

Join us for Laying the Data Foundation for Agentic ITOps, where we’ll demystify the concept of agentic IT operations and lay out a progressive, actionable approach to making it real inside your organization. 

This webinar breaks down the phases of adoption and outlines the data strategy needed to transition from reactive operations to intelligent, AI-driven automation. You'll learn how to use your existing — often messy or incomplete — data to unlock value and guide you through building a foundation that enables adaptive, autonomous agents to reduce toil, accelerate response times, and improve reliability, without waiting for perfect data or a perfect plan.

Laying the Data Foundation for Agentic ITOps

Stop firefighting and start preventing. See how BigPanda AI Incident Prevention uses AI-powered change analysis to predict and prevent incidents before they impact the customer experience. BigPanda uses AI to surface deep context and analyze changes with historical insights to provide a holistic picture on the potential impact of changes — powering more accurate risk scoring, efficient change reviews, and relevant suggested mitigation steps. 

Join this session to see a live demo of our proactive, scalable approach to IT change management and learn how AI Incident Prevention is helping teams streamline approvals, deploy safely at scale, and operate with confidence.

Prevent the Next Incident: See Change Risk Management in Action

Enterprises face mounting pressure to reduce spend, streamline operations, and prove ROI on monitoring and observability investments. Without a comprehensive framework to measure tool performance, many ITOps teams struggle to decide what to keep, optimize, or retire.

In this webinar, we’ll share findings from the latest Monitoring and Observability Tool Effectiveness report, based on anonymized data and detailed monitoring tool assessments from 130 large enterprises, to detail the BigPanda vendor-agnostic framework for evaluating, improving, and rationalizing your observability stack.

You’ll learn:
+ How to pinpoint tools that deliver actionable signals versus those that create costly noise
+ Why coverage alone is a poor predictor of impact — and which KPIs truly matter
+ A data-driven approach to identify optimization opportunities across the stack

Join us to walk away with a data-driven playbook that will help you protect your budget and enhance the actionability of your monitoring tools.

The Role of Event Intelligence in Monitoring and Observability Tool Rationalization

Join us for a demonstration of how the BigPanda AI Incident Assistant unlocks learned and tacit knowledge to drive smarter decisions and more efficient operations. We’ll explore how to harness existing ITSM data and messy or incomplete data to address your most pressing incident management use cases, from major incidents and network outages to SME escalations and bridge calls.

Hear from our AI product experts as they walk through a progressive data strategy, including a realistic timeline to get started and a clear path to demonstrate measurable impact. You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of how BigPanda can fill knowledge gaps, inform continuous learning loops, and accelerate incident response.

Unlock Tacit Knowledge: A Pragmatic Path to Faster, Smarter Incident Management

Modern IT environments generate massive volumes of alerts, but without proper context, even the most advanced AIOps tools can fall short. This session will focus on Enrichment—the process of appending valuable, contextual metadata to alerts to make them more understandable, more actionable, and more useful in real-time triage and incident resolution.

BigPanda Principal Engineer Tony Bermeo will walk attendees through the fundamentals of enrichment, including how organizations can leverage existing sources like CMDBs, APM tools, cloud metadata, and custom files to build a richer, more insightful incident payload. We’ll highlight common challenges around noisy alerts, root cause isolation, and slow MTTR—and show how enrichment directly addresses these gaps.

Through live demonstrations and real-world examples, you'll see how BigPanda customers are using enrichment to:

*  Standardize payloads across diverse monitoring tools
*  Automate alert correlation with more precision
*  Empower frontline teams with context-driven dashboards.
*  Improve alert quality, reduce resolution times, and streamline operational workflows.

Whether you're just getting started with AIOps or looking to deepen your enrichment strategy, this session will offer best practices and practical takeaways to level up your incident management.

The Art of Enrichment:  Driving Actionable Outcomes with Data

Dashboards are essential for turning observability data into actionable ITOps and incident management insights. However, creating an impactful dashboard requires more than charts and widgets. It starts with a clear vision of what to measure and how best to display it. 

Join us on Wednesday, April 23 as we: 
*   Review critical steps of planning a dashboard—emphasizing the importance of defining objectives before building.
*   Provide an overview of how to use templated dashboards BigPanda provides out of the box.
*   Share navigation basics for creating widgets, including filters to refine data views. 
*   Highlight how to leverage functions in widget data points for deeper insights.

To bring it all together, we’ll showcase real-world examples of commonly used BigPanda dashboards that improve alert quality, MTTx, and problem management processes. Whether you're new to dashboard design or looking to enhance your skills, this session will offer practical strategies to help you create dashboards that truly support your goals. 

Join us and take your dashboard-building expertise to the next level!

Purpose-Built Dashboards for Actionable Insights

Your business has stellar NOC, L2 and L3 incident response teams to safeguard uptime and prevent outages for your apps and services. These teams however work in isolated silos, hindered by fragmented teams, tools and data that makes it seem impossible to automate event and incident management workflows.
