AIOps Solutions for Cloud Environments
Although artificial intelligence (AI) applications have an increasingly important role in automating routine IT operations, their use is becoming even more of a necessity for managing enterprise cloud domains.
by John Ghrist
Managing computer systems for any enterprise involves a wide variety of tasks, such as diagnosing problems, maintaining user accessibility, ensuring application performance, and detecting and neutralizing security threats, to name just a few of the most critical ones. AIOps, or artificial intelligence–driven operations apps, is a family of software that automates these and other activities.

Tech Project Management - The Proposal Document
The Proposal Document, which may be referred to as the Business Case, explains the problem together with a description of how the problem will be solved and includes a high-level estimate of what it will cost to develop and deploy the solution.
By Colleen Garton and Erika McCulloch
Editor's Note: This article is excerpted from chapter 3 of Fundamentals of Technology Project Management, by Colleen Garton and Erika McCulloch.
For an external project, the proposal planning will begin for the development company after they receive a Request for Information or a Request for Proposal from a prospective client. The client company will have completed the Project Concept and will have been through an internal approval process before sending out the RFI or RFP documents to prospective vendors. For an internal project, the Project Proposal will be based on the approved Project Concept.
