AI for IT & Network Operations (AIOps) – Phase III

The AIOps Catalyst is a joint innovation program of leading world-class telcos and vendors exploring multiple AI-based use cases within IT and network operations around how to improve customer experience, service quality, and efficiency by automating and optimizing communications service providers’ (CSPs’) processes and services.

The AIOps Catalyst project implements concrete use cases based on AI algorithms covering vital operational needs, like predicting customer experience drops, correlating alarms and events, identifying potential faults, preventing customer complaints, planning infrastructure capacity, performing preventive maintenance and continuous service improvement activities.

At the same time, in synergy with TM Forum’s AI Collaboration Program, the project designs and reengineers AIOps service management frameworks and processes in order to support agile deployment and efficient operations of AI components, helping operations teams and process owners to exploit AI safely maximizing the business value, mitigating risks and ensuring expected level of quality.

With a continuously growing team onboarding new Champions, the phase III of the AIOps Catalyst takes further steps in this direction exploring a rapidly emerging AI technology and delivering tangible and measurable business results, service improvement opportunities and repeatable best practices.
