Observability versnelt AI-adoptie, klantbeleving en productinnovatie

Nov 18, 2025

Het onderzoek is verricht onder 1.855 ITOps- en engineeringprofessionals. Hieruit blijkt dat observability is uitgegroeid tot een topprioriteit voor directies. Organisaties gebruiken inzichten uit observability bijvoorbeeld om omzetstijgingen te verklaren of knelpunten in het aankoopproces op te sporen. Observability stimuleert bedrijfsresultaten Nu digitale diensten steeds belangrijker worden voor klantcontact, vertrouwen bedrijven op observability voor strategische beslissingen. Uit het onderzoek blijkt: • Observability verhoogt volgens 74% van de respondenten de productiviteit van medewerkers en beïnvloedt 65% positief de omzet. Daarnaast ziet 64% verbeteringen in de productontwikkeling. • 74% vindt observability belangrijk voor het monitoren van kritieke bedrijfsprocessen en 65% gebruikt het om klantreizen beter te begrijpen. “Observability-specialisten worden steeds belangrijker bij strategische beslissingen,” zegt Patrick Lin, SVP en GM Observability bij Splunk, onderdeel van Cisco. “Het hele proces van observability, van dataverzameling tot het doorvoeren van verbeteringen, levert niet alleen meer inzicht op. Het ondersteunt ook betere resultaten, bijvoorbeeld op het gebied van klanttevredenheid en productinnovatie.” Observability in het AI-tijdperk Veel bedrijven meten het succes van observability aan de hand van hoe goed ze incidenten kunnen voorkomen en oplossen. Toch kampen veel IT-teams met te veel losse tools (59%) en te veel valse meldingen (52%). Om sneller problemen op te lossen, maakt 76% van de respondenten gebruik van AI-gestuurde observability. AI zorgt ervoor dat teams sneller kunnen innoveren en minder tijd kwijt zijn aan onderhoud: • 78% heeft meer tijd voor productinnovatie. • 60% verwacht dat AI de oorzaak van problemen sneller helpt vinden en 58% denkt dat AI securityrisico's beter kan opsporen. Toch zorgt AI ook voor extra uitdagingen, 47% vindt het monitoren van AI-workloads moeilijker en 40% noemt een gebrek aan kennis een drempel voor AI-adoptie. Het rapport wijst daarom op het belang van het bijscholen van medewerkers. OpenTelemetry: van industriestandaard tot strategisch voordeel OpenTelemetry, een open standaard voor het verzamelen van IT-data, wordt steeds vaker gebruikt. Organisaties die hiermee werken, zien onder andere: • 72% ervaart omzetgroei, 71% ziet betere marges en reputatie. • ‘Power users' van OpenTelemetry zien 3 keer zoveel productiviteitswinst, 2 keer zoveel verbetering in klantbeleving en zijn beter bestand tegen incidenten. • 57% van de intensieve gebruikers werkt met observability-as-code, wat zorgt voor meer standaardisatie en schaalbaarheid. Slechts 10% van de minder actieve gebruikers doet dit. Leiders lopen voorop met meer rendement en innovatie In het onderzoek worden de ‘observability-leiders' uitgelicht. Dit zijn bedrijven die betere resultaten behalen dan hun concurrenten door innovatieve tools te gebruiken en de samenwerking tussen observability- en security-teams te bevorderen. Zij laten zien: • Duidelijke verbeteringen in omzet, productiviteit en productontwikkeling. Gemiddeld behalen deze bedrijven een jaarlijkse ROI van 125% op hun observability-investering. • Dankzij codeprofiling kunnen ze sneller de oorzaak van problemen achterhalen. 78% van de leiders ziet hier veel tijdwinst. • Er is een sterkere samenwerking tussen observability- en security-teams. 59% deelt en hergebruikt data effectiever. Daarnaast is 44% het er volledig mee eens dat hun ITOps-, engineering- en security-teams samen problemen oplossen. “Voor een modern bedrijf, dat is gebouwd op digitale ervaringen, gaat observability niet alleen over het oplossen van fouten. Het is een fundamentele discipline die nodig is om zakelijke beslissingen snel en op grote schaal te kunnen nemen,” aldus Shannon Kalvar, Research Director bij IDC.
