Find Your Edge: Create value by harnessing data at the point of creation
Business priorities drive IT priorities. And IT capabilities underpin business capabilities, which either limit or expand future priorities in an endless cycle.

Prevalence Of Legacy Tools Paralyzes Enterprises’ Ability To Innovate: IT Ops Teams Lacking A Modernization Initiative Are Stifling Future Growth
If only 12% of enterprises use modern tools, are they evolving fast enough to progress beyond basic survival mode? Older, larger enterprises are facing intense competition from younger, disruptive, digital-native startups born in the cloud. To catch up, many enterprises have attempted to modernize by adopting cloud-based architectures, but they are all falling short because their legacy tools don’t manage these systems and many modern tools don’t manage legacy systems. This disconnect puts the operations teams, users, and customers in a perpetual hamster wheel of problem resolution, inhibiting growth, increasing risk, and undermining their efforts to be more competitive. The path to transformative IT Ops anchors on modernizing management tools as part of a broader strategy toward AIOps. For those that haven’t started, consider yourself late.
