Hexaware Launches New AI Ops Platform

Tensai for Reasoning Ops is the first version of the company's new AI platform, Tensai Agentic ITOps. It uses AI agents to monitor live IT systems, understand issues using context, and suggest actions based on evidence. Human teams still review and approve these recommendations before they are carried out.
Hexaware said this is the first step in its long-term plan to make IT operations smarter and more automated. The goal is to help businesses move away from simply fixing problems after they happen and instead prevent issues before they occur.
CEO and Executive Director R. Srikrishna said the platform is designed to help companies shift from traditional, reactive IT support to more intelligent and self-healing IT operations, while ensuring human oversight and responsible decision-making.
