IBM has unveiled IBM Concert, an AI-driven automation solution designed to help enterprises manage the growing complexity of modern applications. Concert uses Watsonx AI to provide customers with deep insights into their application operations, allowing for improved procedures, decreased complexity, and more innovation.
“AI will be deployed throughout the enterprise, significantly boosting productivity,” stated IBM chairman and CEO Arvind Krishna during his keynote at the IBM Think 2024 conference on May 21. “This is the reason behind the introduction of Watsonx, designed to expedite your AI implementation.” With worldwide IT spending on software set to reach $1 trillion in 2024 and the number of cloud-native apps predicted to increase from 531.3 million in 2024 to over 1 billion by 2028, organisations are swamped with massive volumes of data, dependencies, and interconnectedness.

IBM Concert tackles this difficulty by offering a holistic view of interconnected apps as well as AI-driven analysis, visualisations, and actionable suggestions. Setting up IBM Concert is simple and user-friendly. Users begin by connecting their existing supported applications and tools to the platform. Concert’s sophisticated AI then automatically detects important operational data.

What are the benefits of a concert?

IBM Concert’s 360 view is a distinguishing feature since it consolidates the user’s application environment into a single, unified interface. This feature eliminates the need for individual, segregated dashboards by providing a complete overview of apps in an understandable, dynamic style. The 360 view gives a centralised view of the application landscape, and critical risk data, and combines information from several applications, revealing previously unknown patterns.
IBM Concert is set to become generally available on June 18, 2024, with an initial focus on three major areas: Application Security Risk Administration, Application Compliance Administration, and Application Certificate Administration. Future upgrades will broaden its capabilities to encompass new risk use cases and areas including cost management, transparency, security, and networking.
Concert allows for proactive prioritisation, mitigation, and monitoring of application vulnerabilities. It provides detailed mitigation advice and discovers flaws before they are included in the source.
The platform streamlines compliance management by aiding customers in maintaining security requirements as applications expand, resulting in lower resource usage while increasing security. Furthermore, Concert’s certificate management tools allow customers to track the lifespan of certificates, acquire insights into their expiration dates and related risks, and prioritise renewal operations in order to efficiently prevent possible interruptions.
To get the most out of IBM Concert, IBM consultants may help clients establish AIOps strategies that focus on risk, compliance, & certificate management. These specialists can help firms use IBM Concert and other technologies to manage IT complexity in hybrid cloud settings.Â
