AI-driven closed-loop automation solutions and their range of benefits, such as addressing critical challenges faced by organizations in manual and reactive processes, resource allocation, incident management and scalability, continue to take the digital world by storm. As a result, MSPs and large enterprises are becoming more intrigued.
But we can look at this from a traditional viewpoint, asl well (without the integration of AI-driven closed-loop automation).
MSPs and large enterprises often find themselves grappling with inefficient and error-prone manual processes. The lack of automation leads to longer resolution times, hampering both service delivery and customer satisfaction.
Incident management also becomes a hurdle without AI-driven closed-loop automation. Traditional approaches rely on manual monitoring and analysis, resulting in delayed detection and response times. This prolongs downtime and adversely impacts service levels.
Scalability poses another challenge for MSPs and large enterprises. As their operations grow, managing increasing workloads and diverse infrastructure becomes more complex. Without automation, maintaining efficiency and quality while scaling becomes difficult, limiting organizational growth potential.
Recognizing these challenges, MSPs and large enterprises are turning to AI-driven closed-loop automation solutions. To deliver that solution, Juniper Networks announced it joined the ServiceNow Technology Partner Program, enabling both companies to expand their global reach while delivering better experiences for MSPs and enterprise IT teams and their end users.
Through the partnership (which leverages Juniper Mist Cloud and ServiceNow (News - Alert) Telecom Service Management and Order Management for Telecom), joint customers eliminate multi-layer, multivendor solutions and boost network deployment and operational efficiencies while reducing costs.
Juniper and ServiceNow’s integrated turnkey solution combines AI-driven automation with closed-loop functionality. This seamless integration into existing systems allows for swift network and services deployments, empowering organizations with enhanced efficiency and improved service delivery.
Leveraging intelligent automation and continuous feedback loops, businesses achieve accelerated operations, reduced errors and rapid time-to-value.
