IDC PeerScape: Practices for Incorporating GenAI into IT Operations

This IDC PeerScape presents best practices for effectively incorporating GenAI into ITOps, the importance of advanced data preparation, choosing the right use cases, and the need for continued human connection.“Generative AI has the potential to exponentially improve the entire ITOps workflow and reduce operational expenses, but it’s not a panacea,” says Karen D. Schwartz, adjunct research advisor for IDC’s IT Executive Programs (IEP). “Doing it right requires properly setting the stage, thinking critically, and putting the right guardrails in place.”
