Ensono Launches AI & Innovation Division to Power Next-Generation Managed Services

Ensono launches AI & Innovation Division to power next-generation managed services. Ensono further strengthens commitment to AI adoption through collaboration with Snowflake to accelerate IT modernization and digital transformations DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Oct. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Ensono, a leading managed services provider (MSP) focused on IT modernization and innovation, today launched the Ensono AI & Innovation Division marking a key milestone in its AI roadmap. Ensono is driving key innovations in managed service delivery for clients, focused on transforming operations and delivery through advanced AI solutions. This new division brings together innovators across engineering, data science, business analysis and software development to aggressively drive customer value through cutting edge innovation. Over the next five years, Ensono will invest $250 million in AI software, training, and research and development, reinforcing its vision to lead in AI-driven managed services and deliver lasting value for clients. "At Ensono, AI is no longer a tool, it's the engine through which we deliver value to our clients, and the operating system we use to run our business," said Jim Piazza, Chief AI Officer, Ensono. "This new organization allows us to build upon the transformational work we are already delivering to our clients and associates." AI is rapidly transforming managed services, and Ensono's strategic adoption is already delivering results for the company and its clients. Ensono's Envision Predictive Engine (EPE) proactively prevents failures across hardware, operating systems, applications, and networks. Since its launch, EPE has achieved a 22% reduction in major incidents and a 50% reduction in major incident mean time to resolution (MTTR). Complementing EPE, Ensono's DiagnoseNow enables Ensono's teams to quickly identify and address problems, keeping client operations running smoothly. When DiagnoseNow is used to troubleshoot, incidents are resolved in less than half the time they normally require. "The days of watching a console and reacting to an outage event are over. Our global associates now anticipate issues before they occur and take proactive steps to prevent major incidents," said Piazza. "We're redefining what it means to be a service provider, fundamentally shifting how we work with clients by leveraging insights at scale to deliver predictive support." When one of Ensono's clients experienced a processing delay in a business-critical system, Ensono's team identified the issue early, minimizing downtime and disruption. The team promptly determined the root cause, implemented a rapid fix, and restored full functionality with zero impact to operations. In another instance, Ensono proactively detected a critical system issue for a leading automotive manufacturer and resolved it before it could result in operational disruption.
