Digital Optimization™ Optimizing Business Application FixStream

Problem Statement:
A large enterprise with global infrastructure had its support provided by diverse operational tooling without any correlation of events. This led to significant downtime and customer impact due to increased delays caused by efforts to rationalize the outage’s root cause. By implementing Resolve Insights AIOps, this company was able to reduce outage time from two hours to 38 minutes, minimizing impacts to clients.

Solution:

  • Resolve Insights enables a predictive approach to incident resolution using AI and machine learning to reduce the MTTR, saving employees time normally spent troubleshooting
  • The AIOps platform correlates infrastructure, creating a visualization of the environment in one view that is customizable to support operational processes, much like Google Maps performs for roads
  • A global inventory view of IT assets was created, which serves as the CMDB for operations teams
    • Improving situational awareness by discovering unexpected technical inventory
    • Detecting devices operating at or over capacity

Results:

  • A consolidation of tooling saved $350,000
  • Return to operations metrics were improved by over an hour per incident
  • Reduced overall hours in troubleshooting and recovery
  • An optimized view of infrastructure modernized IT operations and reduced costs

Globe with location points and a location target

Problem Statement:

A leading healthcare enterprise needed end-to-end visibility for quick root cause identification of issues impacting its SAP ERP. The company lacked a dynamic and up-to-date inventory of IT infrastructure entities supporting ERP business processes. High MTTR impacted the business as operational data was siloed, existing in disparate domains of the SAP ERP stack.

Solutions: 

  • Auto-discovery of multi-domain application and infrastructure entities updates inventory in near real-time. Topology mapping provides granular relationships between physical and virtual compute, storage, and network entities.
  • Resolve Insights AIOps performs dynamic dependency mapping of SAP components with underlying infrastructure to provide an overlay of operational health and performance data collected from various sources.
  • Scalable integration with SAP Solution Manager for business, operations, and infrastructure metrics and time-series event correlation enables quick identification of root cause for ERP user and business KPI issues.

Results:

  • Rapid root-cause analysis, infrastructure planning, auditing and compliance
  • MTTR for SAP ERP performance issues was reduced from hours to minutes
  • Automated auditing and compliance of IT assets for ERP
  • Optimized infrastructure resource planning and workload management for all SAP ERP applications
  • Increased application assurance, improved ERP system uptime, transaction uptime, and user satisfaction
  • Faster value generation from IT to business and precise business impact analysis ensures business continuity
