ForgeVision Partners with CTC to Enhance Digital Transformation Solutions with StageCrew™

Boosting System Operations Through Partnership

In a significant move to enhance system operations and observability, ForgeVision, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has entered into a strategic partnership with Itochu Techno-Solutions Corporation (CTC), headquartered in Minato, Tokyo. This partnership focuses on leveraging the cloud service offerings of CTC, specifically the innovative StageCrew™, to address and streamline the challenges businesses face in system management.

The Need for Enhanced Observability

In recent years, the concept of observability has gained considerable attention in the realm of system operations. As companies expand and diversify their IT infrastructures, the need for real-time visibility into system conditions has become paramount. Many operational environments utilize a plethora of monitoring and log collection tools to manage these complexities. However, this fragmentation can lead to delays in data collection and root cause analysis during incidents, necessitating a more efficient and streamlined approach to IT operations and personnel management.

The rapid advancement of AI technologies, especially AIOps (Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations), is reshaping the landscape of IT operations. These innovations are already being incorporated to enhance monitoring, incident response, and recovery processes. ForgeVision aims to collaborate closely with CTC to address these issues and enhance system observability through their cloud service, StageCrew™.

What is StageCrew™?

StageCrew™ is an exclusive cloud service developed by CTC that integrates with various monitoring and logging tools. Utilizing multimodal AI, StageCrew™ automates the integration and analysis of data, improving the efficiency of information collection and offering clear visibility into incident response workflows. This cloud platform is designed to maximize observability, allowing companies to operate more smoothly in an increasingly complex IT landscape.

To support the implementation of StageCrew™, ForgeVision will leverage its expertise with technologies like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and its extensive experience in system development and DevOps. This partnership aims not only to optimize system operations but also to accelerate the digital transformation (DX) journeys of enterprises.

Strengthening the Partnership

Commenting on the collaboration, Hisanori Tanaka, Associate Principal at CTC, stated, "With this partnership with ForgeVision, we believe we can fortify our support system for clients facing operational challenges. We are confident that with ForgeVision's expertise in deploying AI technologies, we can significantly assist our clients in solving their system operation issues."

Yasuhiro Kita, CEO of ForgeVision, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "We are thrilled to partner with CTC to provide more efficient and effective system development and operational services. This collaboration will integrate cutting-edge AI technologies into our service offerings, contributing to the strengthening and advancement of our customers' system operations."
