BWI is the service provider of the German armed forces. To optimise their IT processes BWI decided after a successful PoV to select IBM Instana, Turbonomic besides Ansible and the IT automation big picture was completed by integrating an AI-supported event and operations platform, in our case IBM Watson AIOPs. The implementation of this solution required a rethinking within the BWI organization, adapting the work processes and also transforming the organisation. The introduction of IBM Instana, Turbonomic, Watson AIOPs and Red Hat Ansible Automation platform has been running as an IT automation project since 03/24 and we will go live for the complete BWI environment with their application landscape in early summer 2025.
