IT organizations are required to deliver applications and services faster while still ensuring the end-user experience. Operations teams need to be more efficient in order to reduce costs. Additionally, they need to support existing infrastructure and applications while managing next-generation workloads that require computing at the edge, branch offices, data centers, and in public and private cloud environments.

This requirement to implement distributed applications supported by distributed computing is creating a growing gap between what these environments require and the expertise, processes, and tools to support them. Additionally, IT organizations are adopting DevOps practices to be more responsive to the business. They are also implementing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) management and automation platforms enhanced by Artificial Intelligence (AIOps) to increase efficiency and continuously evolve.

IT Operations and Optimization (ITOM) tools supplemented by AI are being seen by savvy IT executives as a way to embed the competitive advantages of speed and quality.

AI is seen as a technology that can help IT organizations become more efficient and manage the increased scale of cloud-based application deployment and data.

The major benefits or outcomes seen from AI implementation in the IT organization include:

• Improved availability
• Lower IT software costs
• Speed time to market
• A foundation for digital transformation
• Lower IT staff, hardware, and services/management costs
