Freshworks Adds New ITSM Capabilities to Freshservice

Freshworks deepened its strategic partnership with Device42 to give Freshservice customers enterprise-grade asset management for enhanced business continuity.

“We’re now used to hybrid working environments with distributed IT teams, meaning the need for platforms that can deliver high service availability and reliability for employees is critical for digital transformation,” says Prakash Ramamurthy, Chief Product Officer at Freshworks. “Freshservice combined with Device42 means an ITSM solution to enable IT services and operations teams to keep business-critical services always on.”

Freshservice is a modern service management solution for companies of all sizes to:

- Deliver uninterrupted service by empowering agents to deliver high-value work and achieve faster return on investment

- Maximize system uptime by proactively diagnosing and resolving outages faster

- Delight employees through context-based collaborations and employee engagement

Using Device42 with Freshservice provides customers with real-time information about complex infrastructure and their relationships for high-precision service management and delivery. Automated discovery enriches Freshservice with IT infrastructure information – from on-premise hardware to cloud and software assets and their intertwined relationships. This holistic infrastructure information from Device42 flows into Freshservice in real-time to enable advanced asset lifecycle management, efficient change planning, and rapid resolution of business-critical issues.

The expanded relationship allows Freshservice customers to purchase Device42 licenses directly from Freshworks. Device42 has also invested in a new integration and technical training of Freshworks sales and support.

“The partnership between Device42 and Freshworks brings immense power to the IT team. Pairing Freshworks’ modern, scalable software with ours allows us to address critical IT service management and lifecycle use case challenges for our customers,” says Raj Jalan, Device42 Founder, and CEO.

A new study from PagerDuty, The State of AI-First Operations, reveals that companies actively incorporating AI into operations now view operational resilience as a growth driver rather than a cost center. But how are they achieving it? ...

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...

Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology."

Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...

Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...

The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...

In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption.
