Modernization with Juniper AIOps (artificial intelligence for IT operations) is the industry’s best alternative to a network refresh if user experience, automation, and fiscal efficiency are important to county IT departments. Attend this session to discover how Juniper AIOps addresses these challenges and more:
- Mounting Trouble Tickets Impacts Agency Trust in IT
- Rising Mean Time to Resolution Increases Unproductive Time and Effort
- No Visibility into user Experience: “Up” and “available” are not the same as “good”
Gartner states in their publication on AIOps1 “there is no future of IT operations that does not include AIOps. This is due to the rapid growth in data volumes and pace of change (exemplified by rate of application delivery and event-driven business models) that cannot wait on humans to derive insights.”
