AI-Assisted Operations & Support: Turning Signals into Fixes

Your AI found the signal. Can it find the fix? Alerts and tickets keep piling up, and vendor numbers like “80% autonomous” roughly halve in production. Join Andersen experts for a free online session on how AI-assisted operations and support work in practice, and where a human still has to sign off.

What we’ll cover:

Where AI can speed up incident triage and investigation, and why detection alone doesn’t shorten the fix
What separates useful AI assistance from automation that creates more work
How AI supports routine operations and support work, from alert to fix and from ticket to resolution
Where human oversight belongs in the workflow, and what to measure instead of a headline %: MTTR, downtime avoided, CSAT

Speakers: Roman Gorge, Head of Cloud Partnership Nikolai Lidetskii, DevOps Engineer
