A passion for innovation IPsoft s vision of a more efficient world in which IT infrastructure and business operations are managed by expert systems is becoming a reality. Long term commitment to research and development has allowed IPsoft s researchers to achieve breakthroughs in innovation. By applying these innovations to large scale operations we help our clients transform their businesses for competitive advantage. Today, our virtual engineers resolve 56% of IT incidents without any need for human intervention while managing more than a million critical devices. IPsoft embraces the challenge of reaching new frontiers in artificial intelligence. In the 1950s, Dr. Alan Turing proposed that one day man would not be able to distinguish humans from machines when asking them the same set of questions. Inspired by the great minds of the past, IPsoft is pioneering a critical step change in how business operations are managed. Our passion for technology innovation and commitment to research and development is evident: we invest 70% of our revenue directly into R&D. Instead of limiting ourselves to following established technology paths, our long term view has allowed us to pioneer breakthrough innovation in autonomic and cognitive technology. IPsoft pursues the goal of creating solutions that will deliver concrete business benefits by embracing this ideal. We are committed to helping our clients transform their business models and make much more efficient use of their human capital. 60% reduction in mean time to resolution 0% error rate on automated tasks The IPsoft solution allowed a major media company to move to a highly scalable managed service solution, saving over 32% annually.

IPsoft s autonomic IT management increases efficiency dramatically while driving a higher quality of service, however complex your IT landscape. Autonomics dramatically accelerates traditional IT task automation by enabling much broader and more extensive automation of processes. Legacy automation technologies relied on rules-based processes, driven by the need for specialized software developers to write process-specific code, or scripts, to automate predictable tasks. While scripting has been widely embraced by both IT departments and technology product companies, it depends heavily upon software engineers, limiting it to individual tasks and lacking the leverage necessary to automate wider numbers and types of processes. TWO: Autonomic IT Management For a major financial services firm, IPcenter lowered the mean time to resolution of failed trades from 47 minutes to under 4 minutes Autonomics changes the rules of the game by automating the interaction between different tools that are in use within the IT environment. As a result, end-to-end processes rather than individual tasks can be automated, paving the way for a far greater level of productivity. Performance improves continually because the system uses outputs from one activity to inform the next. It adapts and learns based on the successful execution of activities to create ever more efficient ways to complete a process. Autonomic technology progressively learns and becomes more intelligent. By watching the best human engineers solve problems and recording their actions for future use, virtual engineers capture additional knowledge. This is then incorporated into new automata and so further increased levels of automation are achieved. Autonomics also removes the constraints of an individual s ability to process knowledge work. Given the increasing complexity of the landscapes being managed today this is critical. The volume of data upon which an organization depends is growing exponentially as the Internet of Things (IoT) feeds a proliferation of devices that need to be managed. Autonomic systems are able to absorb the complexity of dealing with this explosion in data and are able to process information in a fraction of the time it would take even the smartest human. 70% of our revenues are reinvested into technology Cygate, a leading Scandinavian IT service provider, deployed IPcenter to manage level 0, 1 and 2 activities. Cygate s human engineers were able to service more critical level 3 activities as well as focus upon higher-value activities. Over two years Cygate s revenues grew by 56% and its increased efficiency of operations meant that EBITDA swelled by 118% THREE: IPcenter Intelligent Automation IPcenter is an ITIL-aligned service management platform that leverages the power of autonomics to increase efficiency and quality. It forms the basis of IPsoft s services and integrates into your existing IT landscape so that information about your operations is consolidated into a single view. Virtual engineers IPcenter essentially provides a cadre of virtual engineers that work like the company s best engineers, but do so faster, cheaper, and with an assured quality of output. Just like human engineers, they can talk to one another and work together to resolve complex, dynamic problems. Conversely, traditional automation tools are scripts running individual pre-defined tasks and sequences. Today IPcenter is able to process 56% of all events without any human intervention, freeing up your engineers time to focus on higher value activities. Accelerated cost-efficiency gains By automating low level IT support functions our autonomic systems can assume responsibility for up to 90% of Level 1 events and 60% of Level 2 events without any manual intervention. The impact of that efficiency improvement is felt in very short time. With an existing library of more than 2000 virtual engineers ready to deploy straight out of the box, IPcenter can deliver more than 30% efficiency gains in only 90 days. As IPcenter constantly evolves and improves, it gives customers access to an ever-growing number of automata. In parallel, the amount of time your talented human engineers have to focus on delivering business value increases. This in turn, helps CIOs concentrate on driving outputs that demonstrate IT s value as a strategic asset to the organization. With IPcenter powering infrastructure management, businesses can also grow far more efficiently. Our platform allows you to scale service quickly to absorb thriving business demand without the burden of tying that growth to an increase in expensive human resources. This in turn has a direct impact on bottom line profitability.
