IBM Automation empowers organisations to modernise and streamline operations across business and IT. By combining traditional automation with advanced AI and analytics, IBM enables enterprises to become more agile, efficient, and responsive in a digital-first world.

IBM AIOps (Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations) is a suite of AI-driven tools and capabilities designed to automate and enhance IT operations. It helps organisations monitor, manage, and remediate complex, hybrid IT environments by applying machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and advanced analytics to operational data.

IBM AIOps is a central component of IBM’s strategy to modernise IT operations, enabling teams to shift from reactive firefighting to proactive and predictive management of applications, infrastructure, and services.

Core Components & Capabilities

• Event Correlation & Noise Reduction: IBM AIOps ingests and analyses data from various sources (logs, metrics, traces, alerts).
• Root Cause Analysis: Automatically identifies the likely root causes of incidents.
• Predictive Incident Detection: Machine learning models identify anomalies and performance degradations before they impact users.
• Automated Remediation: Integrates with runbooks, automation tools, and incident response systems.
• Natural Language Insights: Uses NLP to understand unstructured data such as Support tickets, Logs and runbooks & Change requests.
• Integration with DevOps & IT Tools: Seamlessly works with a wide range of systems and platforms.

IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) is an advanced network monitoring and analytics platform designed to provide comprehensive visibility into network performance, infrastructure health, and digital experience across hybrid, multi-vendor, and multicloud environments.
