DevAI is led by co-founders Susie Wee and Edwin Zhang, both of whom bring a wealth of experience from their tenure at Cisco Systems. Susie Wee is the Chief Executive Officer. She leads the company’s strategic vision and operations.

New Concept in IT Infrastructure Management DevAI’s Network Intelligence Engine is a new standard in the management of IT infrastructure. Conventional IT environments tend to have fragmented tools and systems, which leave much to be desired in terms of efficiency and more than likely to cause errors.

DevAI bridges these gaps by integrating the otherwise siloed IT tools into a single, cohesive platform. This will make it easy to communicate and coordinate across systems.

The AI agents in the platform continuously monitor the IT environment and proactively identify discrepancies and potential issues before they escalate into critical problems. Not only does this reduce MTTI and MTTR for incidents but also significantly saves costs. According to company data, enterprises can achieve cost reductions ranging from 30% to 70% per incident by utilizing DevAI’s solutions.
