From LaMa to Live: The Faster, Safer Path to Post-LaMa SAP Operations

This eBook explores one of the most persistent challenges in the modern enterprise: the gap between business operations and IT. As AIOps matures, it’s becoming a critical bridge between the two — helping business leaders understand how IT performance directly drives the KPIs they care about most.

In this eBook, “The Road to Business Success and AIOps,” Avantra explores why business leaders, not just IT teams, have a stake in AIOps adoption, and how it connects IT operations to real business outcomes across supply chain, customer experience, and employee productivity.

Key Learnings and Challenges Explored

The eBook uncovers the disconnect between business and IT, and the opportunities AIOps creates to close that gap:

  • The IT/business divide: Many business leaders still view IT as a “black box,” with limited visibility into how technology performance connects to business KPIs.
  • Hybrid complexity widens the gap: As companies shift from data centers to hybrid cloud and on-premises environments, the disconnect between IT operations and business outcomes becomes more pronounced.
  • Supply chain vulnerability: Complex, interdependent inventory and supply chain systems create critical points of failure that can directly affect revenue and margins if left unmonitored.
  • Customer experience at risk: Backend system issues, even small ones, can quickly erode customer acquisition, retention, and satisfaction metrics like NPS and churn rate.
  • Employee productivity impact: Slow or unreliable systems don’t just frustrate employees — they directly affect the customer-facing outcomes those employees are responsible for.

Key Solutions and Strategic Insights

The eBook outlines how AIOps helps business and IT leaders build a shared understanding of success, and how Avantra plays a role in that shift.

With AIOps, organizations gain:

  • A shared language between business and IT, connecting infrastructure KPIs directly to business outcomes like revenue, retention, and productivity.
  • Proactive issue detection, using AI and machine learning to identify and remediate anomalies before they impact business processes.
  • End-to-end visibility, giving both business and IT stakeholders a bird’s-eye view of how connected systems support core processes like supply chain, sales, and service.
  • Confidence through complexity, helping teams manage hybrid environments without losing sight of the business outcomes IT is meant to support.

By bringing business and IT leaders into a shared understanding of success, AIOps helps organizations close a long-standing divide — turning IT from a “black box” into a strategic partner in business outcomes.
