The question for 2027 is, which loop you are closing. The next AI tool comes after that.
The thread running through this session
A decade ago, IT operations teams had good tools and still heard about outages from customers. Value came only when those tools were joined into one loop.
Enterprise AI is now buying the same stages, one at a time, and getting pilots and silos in return. On December 2, 2026, Leslie Joseph, VP, Principal Analyst at Forrester, will share what Forrester's research says about this gap, and Raghavendra Tadepalli from Covasant will show the loop closed on one business process.
