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.
