Our DevOps teams harness Acumen’s ready-made apps, low-code/no-code innovation engine, and AI capabilities to accelerate transformation and drive efficiency.”
Acumen empowers organizations to solve real-life operational and strategic challenges, reducing operational costs and enhancing the customer experience.

“Optimum shares Ribbon’s vision for building AIOps solutions that can dramatically transform the way networks are managed and maintained. By being among the first providers to integrate the Acumen platform into our operations, we’re not only enhancing network reliability and performance today, but also setting the foundation for a new standard of predictive, AI-driven innovation for us. We believe this will consistently deliver stronger connections and exceptional experiences by leveraging responsible AI to build self-healing, future-ready networks.”
