Interlink rated in EMA Leaders in Advanced IT Analytics Buyer’s Guide

David Arrowsmith • January 16, 2018

Interlink Software features prominently in this qualitative examination of 13 leading vendors, handpicked by EMA from the “heartland” of Advanced IT Analytics (AIA).

More often referred to as “operational analytics” AIA describes a unifying bridge between IT and business roles – one that brings together IT Ops as a function, IT management toolsets, and associated operational big data.

EMA considers AIA to be a “critical arena of innovation for IT organisations in the digital age”.

The report is an aid to IT executives and technical stakeholders seeking to invest in solutions, covering a variety of different enterprise IT scenarios – helping buyers to map their own individual needs to distinct areas of AIA innovation.

Each offering featured is profiled in detail and measured against a set of shopping cart criteria – from time to value, cloud-readiness through to the ability to support IT-business alignment.

“Our buyer’s guide is not about winners or losers—but rather a detailed evaluation of each vendor’s design point, attributes, capabilities, market history and unique strengths.”

(Leaders in Advanced IT Analytics (AIA) A Buyer’s Guide for Investing in Innovation by Dennis Drogseth & Chris Matney)

EMA conducted interviews with a representative sample of customers in order to validate their findings and enrich the dataset from a real-world, user perspective.

Spanning legacy (mainframe) and cloud environments EMA acknowledge Interlink among those vendors demonstrating “a well-considered evolution from monitoring to integrated analytics”.

EMA also highlight Interlink’s capabilities to integrate with and assimilate data from a diverse range of tools “as well as in enabling IT and business stakeholders to come together more effectively due to their consistent strengths in IT-to-business alignment.”

Grant Glading, Head of Sales and Marketing at Interlink Software had this to say:

“We’re delighted to be included as a leader in the AIA buyer’s guide. AIA encapsulates our service visualization offering and EMA’s research reinforces the need to align and unify IT with the business – the cornerstone of our proposition.”

In today’s competitive and fast-paced retail environment, service availability is paramount to delivering exceptional customer experiences. As an ITOps Manager or Site Reliability Engineer in a large retail enterprise, you're tasked with managing complex, interdependent systems that support vital business functions such as supply chain operations, point-of-sale (POS) systems, and inventory management. Maintaining a resilient IT infrastructure isn’t just an operational need—it's essential for preserving customer satisfaction and protecting your brand’s competitive edge. Retail IT professionals face numerous challenges, including managing an ever-growing number of endpoints, ensuring seamless integration between legacy and modern systems, and reacting swiftly to potential failures that could lead to downtime. These issues are further amplified during high-traffic periods like holiday seasons or sales events, where even a minor disruption can have a major impact on both revenue and customer loyalty. The Solution: Interlink Software’s AIOps and Business Service Observability Platform. Interlink Software’s AIOps and Business Service Observability platform addresses these challenges head-on, offering a unified, real-time view of your entire IT ecosystem. This comprehensive oversight empowers teams to proactively manage incidents, preventing disruptions before they can affect business operations. Powered by advanced machine learning, Interlink’s platform delivers real-time predictive insights that allow IT teams to detect and resolve potential issues before they escalate. This predictive capability means you're no longer reacting to problems after they’ve impacted service; instead, you’re staying ahead of risks, ensuring optimal system performance and reliability. By consolidating data across all IT systems, the platform integrates seamlessly with your existing tools, enabling you to monitor the health and performance of the entire IT infrastructure in one place. From POS systems to eCommerce platforms, this holistic view eliminates blind spots and ensures that critical systems remain operational. Minimize Downtime and Maximize Efficiency Automating problem detection and resolution is key to reducing system downtime and minimizing the need for manual intervention. With Interlink’s AIOps capabilities, incidents are detected and addressed before they cause any service interruptions. This results in increased uptime, faster issue resolution, and ultimately a better experience for your customers—whether they're shopping online or in-store. For retail enterprises, where any system disruption can lead to lost sales and dissatisfied customers, this solution provides a crucial safeguard. During peak sales seasons, the ability to maintain seamless IT operations across eCommerce and store systems ensures smooth transactions and satisfied customers. Interlink’s AIOps and Business Service Observability platform not only enhances operational efficiency but also empowers your team to focus on strategic initiatives, rather than being bogged down by firefighting incidents.
