Therefore, the timeframe for modelling and analyzing the impact of such changes goes from months to minutes, while ignio also includes recommendations to mitigate predicted negative issues stemming from change.

“We are honored to be recognized by AIconics at the AI Summit as the Best Enterprise Application of Artificial Intelligence,” said Harrick Vin, Chief Scientist at TCS. “Since launching a year ago, we are managing more than 600,000 infrastructure resources for many Fortune 500 enterprises, and are well positioned to help lead business productivity and efficiency across all industries.”
