Companies need to take the AI brain “out of the jar”; using application networks that enable AI to plug in and out of any data source or capability.
A path to leadership buy-in for your efforts to change the IT status quo
The fiscal year is ending and once again, your efforts to get modernization improvements funded haven’t planned out. You know that this lack of funding won’t stop any of your partners from decrying the competency or effort of IT.

Inside an application network: End-to-end API chain correlation with Splunk
As an IT professional, have you ever been in a situation where you know something is broken, but you can’t manage to spot where it is coming from?
