 During NetBrain LIVE, we dug into where AI truly stands in network operations with Enterprise Strategy Group’s Jim Frey. His take was clear and straight to the point: AI is at a major turning point, but widespread trust hasn’t fully caught up.Teams want proof before they let AI influence critical decisions. They want to see real results—both from peers and inside their own environments. Once that trust builds, productivity gains tend to accelerate quickly.The bigger trend he highlighted is unavoidable: networks are evolving too fast for manual operations to keep pace. With new AI-driven workloads appearing inside organizations almost weekly, trying to run everything by hand just isn’t sustainable anymore. Ignoring AI isn’t really an option.The smartest place to begin? Start where the daily pain lives. Configuration drift. Unapproved changes. Surprise devices showing up out of nowhere. Early issue detection before something breaks downstream. These are the tasks where AI can prove its

We recently chatted with Daniel Umukoro from General Datatech (GDT) about what customers are dealing with most right now, and his answer was immediate: “Most of our customers want things fixed.”That’s the heart of it. Every organization wants fewer issues — and when problems do happen, they want them solved fast. “As a matter of fact, they don’t want issues in the first place,” Daniel said with a laugh. “But if there are issues, they want them fixed ASAP.”He explained that the biggest challenge isn’t just about identifying what’s broken; it’s about how long it takes to get things working again. “The biggest challenge that customers have is what we call MTTR — the amount of time it takes to resolve issues,” he said.That’s where NetBrain plays a major role. GDT uses NetBrain to help customers shrink that window from problem to solution. “When you use NetBrain to help reduce the amount of time they spend fixing problems, it’s very key for many of our customers,” Daniel added.Instead of te
