Leading with Gen AI and Siebel Infrastructure Management

IBM’s Siebel Asset Repository

The Development and Verification Information on Demand (DAVID) also known as the Siebel Analyzer Tool. This tool enhances project outcomes by automating code analysis and providing intelligent recommendations for optimization. Gen AI  interprets DAVID’s insights, suggest best practices, and  generates refactored scripts, improving quality and reducing costs.

IBM’s Siebel Application Response Measurement Analysis tool is a proprietary solution designed to assess and optimize the performance of Siebel applications across multiple dimensions. It drives fast, automated performance statistics and reports, enabling organizations to enhance application efficiency, optimize resource utilization, and improve user satisfaction.

GEN AI Enabled Solution for Siebel Projects :

We deliver AI/GEN AI driven accelerators that set us apart in incumbent Siebel engagements. Our solutions speed up transitions, automate knowledge capture, and simplify incident management with intelligent insights. 

The generative AI–infused Transition Engine minimizes transition risk and time while improving post implementation delivery quality . Its gen AI-powered Q&A capability reduces SME dependency, and its automated document generation converts knowledge transfer (KT) sessions into structured Siebel knowledge assets.

AutomateX can greatly enhance Siebel projects by enabling intelligent ticket analytics, automated clustering, and semantic search across large volumes of CRM data. integrating with Siebel’s workflows, AutomateX supports decision-making, reduces manual analysis, and accelerates transformation through automation.
