AI is accelerating a major shift in network observability, and many IT organizations are reconsidering their current tools because of it. New EMA research from Shamus McGillicuddy found that: - 33% of IT organizations are very likely to replace their network observability tools within the next two years - 54% say AI-driven insights and automation would motivate a replacement - 55% now consider AI capabilities a requirement when evaluating network management platforms The message from NetOps teams is becoming clear: if observability vendors aren’t innovating around AI, automation, and modern architectures, enterprises are increasingly willing to look elsewhere.

In healthcare, every second matters. In this EMA Impact Brief, Parker Hathcock examines how ControlUp’s new Tap-to-App capability for IGEL OS gives IT teams visibility into what clinicians actually experience during badge-based logins. Instead of measuring only backend authentication times, Tap-to-App tracks when the virtual desktop and application are truly ready for use. This provides a more accurate view of login performance and helps IT identify delays that can impact patient care. Read the EMA Impact Brief to learn how this clinician-centered visibility can improve point-of-care access and accelerate troubleshooting. https://lnkd.in/gn2Ut5ZX #HealthcareIT #DigitalWorkspace #EndUserExperience #VDI #IGEL #ControlUp #HealthTech #ITOperations
