Mar 2026

The Managed Service Provider market is undergoing a profound technological and methodological transformation. Artificial Intelligence, advanced automation, and Intelligent Operations are progressively redefining efficiency standards. Antonio Burinato, General Manager at Innovaway, and Kalyan Kumar, Chief Product Officer at HCLSoftware, discussed these topics in a recent video discussion focused on the transition from the traditional reactive IT model ("break-and-fix" logic) to a highly proactive and predictive management approach ("predict-and-prevent").

During the discussion, the two managers analyzed the operational impact of recent European regulations, with a particular focus on the DORA and NIS2 directives. These regulations are compelling organizations to structurally enhance the resilience, security, and reliability of their infrastructures. In this context, the integration of solutions based on Artificial Intelligence, Agentic AI technologies, and process automation proves crucial in enabling companies to maintain full regulatory compliance while simultaneously accelerating their digital evolution.

The interview also provided an opportunity to delve into the technical and strategic value of the partnership between Innovaway and HCLSoftware. By leveraging the potential of the vendor's Intelligent Operations solutions portfolio, particularly advanced platforms like HCL BigFix and Service Management systems, Innovaway consolidates its capability to deliver end-to-end governance services. This setup enables our team to anticipate systemic criticalities, proactively prevent service disruptions, and manage complex IT architectures with maximum efficiency, reinforcing our role as a single point of contact for the entire service lifecycle.

Through this technological synergy, Innovaway and HCLSoftware are promoting the implementation of the XDO Blueprint model within corporate ecosystems. This is a strategic framework designed to optimize Customer Experience, extract high-value operational insights from data, and maximize production efficiency. It is a concrete approach to making our clients' IT infrastructures scalable, secure, and 'future-proof'.
