LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — (Marketwired) — 11/08/13 — , a leading provider of predictive analytics for IT, today revealed findings and comments from an IT industry event — Solving the Big Data Problem in IT Operations — held in London this morning.

Hosted by Netuitive and held at BAFTA, the event was attended by more than 70 IT operations and line-of-business executives focused on next generation application performance monitoring (APM) and service management. Attendees and speakers shared views and experiences on what Gartner refers to as IT Operations Analytics (ITOA) that are starting to enable large enterprises to better understand the business impact of IT.

Gartner Research VP and industry expert Will Cappelli discussed how increasingly complex, cloud-based applications and infrastructure are creating a need for “Big Data” IT operations analytics in the enterprise.

Cappelli outlined the primary challenge for large organizations being an inability to correlate and extract value from vast volumes of data from an increasing number of specialized monitoring tools across silos and domains in real-time.

Sometimes referred to as “,” this data must be transformed into practical information with a bearing on business activity, customer experience, applications, and infrastructure.

According to Gartner, “IT operations analytics tools enable CIOs and senior IT operations managers to monitor their business operational data and metrics. The tools are similar to a business intelligence platform that business unit managers use to drive business performance. IT operations analytics tools enable users to assess efficiency, optimize IT investments, correlate trends, and understand and maximize IT opportunities that support the business.” (1)

Also speaking was Paul Horlock, Head of Payments and Service Strategy at . Horlock described how Nationwide, a leader in customer service, is focused on further improving performance of its Faster Payments Platform, a high volume, real time business critical service that impacts virtually all consumer financial services.

“With advanced IT operations analytics as a key constituent, we are developing a sophisticated, cross-silo performance model integrating user experience and IT infrastructure performance, as well as customized business activity monitoring metrics important to the Payments team,” Horlock said. “Early results show we have improved visibility into the Faster Payments service, improved root-cause isolation of performance and availability issues, and can now proactively detect anomalies that have the potential to cascade into larger issues and outages.”

The demand for IT operations analytics (ITOA) processes, technologies and services has grown significantly during the past two years. Gartner estimates that worldwide spending in this market subsector will surpass $800 million in 2013, which is a $500 million increase from the $300 million spent in 2012. Furthermore, this more than 100% growth rate is expected to continue through 2014, based on the spending plans disclosed to Gartner during recent inquiry-related conversations. (2)
