AIOps 101: Using Gen AI to Deliver Context & Remediate Faster

Explore a new enterprise SaaS solution that better integrates event and incident management. 

NOC and ITOps can more easily convert observability data into actionable alerts without depending on manual rules through enrichment. The operational context generated is now available to Service Operations teams to deliver highly informed insights into incident impact and root cause using AI and Generative technologies without modifying the configuration of their ITSM platform. 

Join our interactive webinar to learn how event management improves incident management workflows, but also supports cost-effective and scalable Generative AI ITSM use cases and Copilots. Don’t miss how this new combination also drives data-driven strategies to improve CMBD accuracy and ITSM value.

BigPanda & ServiceNow: Scale IT service operations with modern event management

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.

Real-world strategies for incident management and prevention

Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations, commonly referred to as AIOps, is a transformative approach that combines the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI),
Machine Learning (ML) and Generative technologies with traditional IT and Service Management Operations.
