capabilities, and discovery and topology mapping.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn ideal IT platform should not compound complexity by creating technical debt for future maintenance, incurring extra cost for AI\/ML, or limiting your ability to manage across cloud and traditional environments,\u201d said Micro Focus Senior Director of ITOM Product Marketing Travis Greene.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Micro Focus OPTIC, companies can transform without any drama by harnessing the platform\u2019s embedded intelligence and extending operational best practices while retaining cloud agility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Key features that form part of the Micro Focus OPTIC platform include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Unified process automation<\/strong> \u2013 Including best-practice content without brittle custom code.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Discovery and topology mapping<\/strong> \u2013 Efficient management for both cloud and on-premises environments.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A single pane for user self-service<\/strong> \u2013 Reduce user frustration with smart virtual agents.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flexible deployment<\/strong> \u2013 You can deploy the platform in the cloud, as a service, on premise, or in containers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Modular structure and flexible licensing<\/strong> \u2013 Avoid unexpected costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Complete integration<\/h3>\n<p>OPTIC makes all of the above and much more possible through open REST APIs and a broad set of connectors which allow you to build upon the tools and systems that already work for you.<\/p>\n<p>OPTIC also offers broad analysis by processing and interpreting the data produced by these tools and systems.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, it supports hybrid cloud environments by allowing your team to operate cloud services at the same time that you are running an on-premises approach.<\/p>\n<p>This is crucial for businesses in the process of switching solutions to the cloud, as well as those that opt for a true hybrid system.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">A vehicle for change<\/h3>\n<p>Ultimately, OPTIC includes an industry-leading automation engine which makes it easy for you to introduce new services to your IT stack while negating all the complexity that would usually be a big challenge to your business.<\/p>\n<p>By enabling all your tools to work together, OPTIC makes your business smarter and optimises
