HCL iControl and Splunk: 3 Critical Objectives for Operations

Business leaders are facing an unprecedented challenge: achieving three critical objectives while managing increasingly complex operational environments. These leaders are laser-focused on efficient operations that drive cost optimization and performance excellence, as well as regulatory compliance and risk management that protect the organization from threats and ensure adherence to evolving standards. Additionally, they prioritize growth and competitive advantage to secure a market position and drive innovation. With this in mind, HCL iControl and Splunk have entered into a strategic partnership to transform business flow observability and help organizations achieve operational resilience.

A Strategic Integration with Splunk: Built for Scale

The partnership between HCL iControl and Splunk represents a convergence of business process observability expertise with industry-leading data analytics capabilities. HCL iControl can be installed on a standalone, independent search head or clustered instances of Splunk Enterprise, providing a comprehensive view of business process flow. This is designed to enable business owners to overcome challenges associated with understanding key critical business controls in the context of the business flow across the enterprise.

This integration addresses the critical need for unified visibility by bringing together Enterprise IT and operations. This eliminates siloed monitoring efforts and enables the accurate measurement of business KPIs in real time. This, in turn, has a significant impact on awareness of multiple interdependent systems, helping to reduce risk and improve performance.

Delivering Measurable Business Value

Real-Time Contextual Insights

The integration enables organizations to correlate IT performance data with business controls, providing immediate understanding of how technical issues impact business outcomes. This contextual awareness enables proactive business optimization by transforming reactive troubleshooting.

The HCL iControl and Splunk partnership bridges this gap by providing comprehensive, actionable data that enables faster, more informed decision-making across all organizational levels for the different persona types.

Operational Resilience and Risk Mitigation

Through intelligent identification and rapid resolution of issues, organizations can minimize business disruption and ensure continuity. The platform's predictive capabilities enable teams to address potential problems before they impact customers or operations.
