    To conclude our latest focus on GenAI, here are 5 additional concrete use cases for GenAI in Enterprise IT environment : ➡ Configuration and Policy Generation : Automatically generate configurations for network devices, cloud resources, and security policies based on best practices ➡ Data Augmentation for Training AI Models : Create synthetic data for training AI models, especially when real-world data is scarce or expensive ➡ Automating IT Report Generation : Generate detailed reports on system performance, financial costs, and operational metrics based on raw data. It reduces effort in manual report writing and analysis ➡ Intelligent Knowledge Management : Automatically create and update internal knowledge bases, FAQs, and troubleshooting guides based on internal and external data ➡ Automated Test Case Generation : Generate and suggest test cases for software applications, ensuring more comprehensive testing coverage After spending all the last posts and articles exploring AI, it's time to switch topics. Any particular we should tackle? https://lnkd.in/egdczZJR #GenAI #ITFM #AI #IT at BG&A (Blanc Gay & Associates)

    Last week we issued our article on GenAI ! https://lnkd.in/eFQN5vzC Before discussing use cases, GenAI is still vague for many people so here are 7 elements for an overview : ➡ Core Purpose : Creating new content, not explicitly programmed, from patterns learnt. ➡ Models : It relies on deep learning models, and commonly utilizes unsupervised/self-supervised learning. In other words, data is given to the model without human tagging, and model creates the 'logic' rationale itself. ➡ Dev Timeline : As it's linked to Deep learning, GenAI originates from the 1950s, but many breakthroughs occured in the past 5-10 years. Or at least the breakthroughs that led to the current hype. ➡ Industry Adoption : Full-scale enterprise deployment is largely experimental, though many uses cases are being tested. We see it everywhere at clients, but in my point of view it will need few years to see the industrial breakthrough at scale ➡ Explainability & Transparency : Often functioning as 'black box', without understanding how the models got to the output. Outputs may also be inaccurate, inconsistent or non sensical. Those all create challenges for enterprise industrialization ➡Scalability : GenAI scalability is limited by high infrastructure and energy requirements. Energy demands are so high that GAFAM are pushing towards more nuclear plants in the US to meet that demand. The companies with operations in cheap energy countries will have an advantage (like in the Industrial sector) ➡Regulation and Governance : Regulatory frameworks are emerging to tackle transparency, explainability, content ownership and bias issues. There is a high risk that regulation hinders innovation by creating additional complexity, lag-to-market and costs. Companies with the ability to operate and sell in markets with softer regulations will take the advantage. What are your thoughts on it ? ⤵ BG&A (Blanc Gay & Associates), #GenAI, #ITFM, #IT, #AI

    Can GenAI support our IT cost optimization journey ? 🔥 Though we are still early, I believe it can. It has limitations as any technology, but the organizations that will manage to exploit and implement at scale will gain operational alpha. In this article, we explain what is GenAI, how it works, what it can do, and identify concrete use cases in IT with promising ROI. BG&A (Blanc Gay & Associates) #GenAI #AI #IT #Optimization #ITFM

    Traditional AI (TradAI) shows the higher odds to get your cost optimization secured. Why ? Because it was tested and tried, not like GenAI. TradAI has been for a while combined with RPA (Robotic Automation Processes) to get efficiencies. https://lnkd.in/gNgbVAgb Here are 4 areas we see actual use cases for optimizations driven by TradAI : ➡ IT Monitoring : AI can automate system monitoring, log analysis, incident detections and workflows. If this is repeatable, TradAI can automate it ➡IT Maintenance: System failures and performance bottlenecks predictions. Tapping into analytics capabilities of AI to get insights and be one step ahead ➡Cloud : Analyze cloud usage patterns, and optimize instances sizes, scheduling and specs. It's again leveraging AI capability of automating & improving data analysis ➡Service Desk : TradAI bots can handle common user requests. As long as GenAI can create funny/dangerous outputs from user inputs, TradAI (enhanced decision-tree in a way) automates already a significant part of the efforts. Without the funny outputs 😉 The more we analyzed IT scopes, the more we found use cases for TradAI and (potential) for GenAI. Stay tuned, I will share that. 💡

    As capital must be used with more efficiency, state digitalisation is a critical path towards service and cost optimization. Tax payers have expectations, but the digitalisation within a public sector takes time. Why ? -Scope : governements are the biggest organization in their home country. Whatever the digital transformation that is pursued, it will be massive. It means more time required, and less agility. -Time Frame & Politics Priorities : governments can think in years or decade. They don't have the urge to transform, and can easily postpone projects, notably when governement change Think about the change management, critical to any project ? Now apply that to organizations that have more people than an army, small incentive to change, and with new directions coming from the top faster that the organization ability to transform. 😅

    AI investments are getting larger and the trend is accelerating. 72% of companies have integrated AI into their processes, and AI already represents 5% of digital budgets. Moreover, 65% of companies plan to increase their AI investments! We are used to hypes in this industry, but this one is definitely big. Just think—5% of digital budgets are being allocated to a technology that’s not yet fully industrialized. 😉 In everyday business we see that budgets are getting tighter, and cost optimization programs must be conducted for legacy services to free up cash flow for new AI investments. Interesting times ahead ! https://lnkd.in/eWnJ6W7m BG&A (Blanc Gay & Associates)
