Meet Iris: The only conversational AI intelligence layer built for multi-vendor UC&C observability
Wednesday, December 10, 2025
SYDNEY, Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading global observability software company Integrated Research (ASX:IRI, 'IR') has today unveiled Iris, the only conversational AI intelligence layer built for multi-vendor unified communications and collaboration (UC&C) observability.
Powered by IR's leading observability platform Prognosis, Iris translates complex monitoring data into actionable insights, answering plain language questions such as "Why are dropped calls spiking in Singapore?" or "Which department had the worst Teams experience today?" with detailed, context-rich responses.
As enterprises scale hybrid and multi-cloud environments, global outage costs continue to rise with one in five outages reported to exceed costs of US $1 million([i]). By 2026, organisations that apply observability systematically are predicted to achieve measurable competitive advantage through AI-assisted insight and automation([ii]).
Iris is embedded in Prognosis as a true real-time intelligence layer, so that IT teams can spend less time monitoring and more time making decisions that drive elite enterprise performance.
Ian Lowe, Chief Executive Officer at IR, said: "We know from our hundreds of clients around the world that faster discovery and time to remediation drives material results for enterprises, including better customer satisfaction scores, higher service reliability and reduced revenue risk in mission-critical environments. Intelligent observability is critical to drive better performance in these areas. With Iris, complex multi-vendor IT environments have just become a performance advantage for large enterprises, giving everyone - not just IT specialists - access to business-critical performance insights in seconds."
