Enhancing Customer Experience Through End-to-End Reliability Intelligence

Short Description

Customer experience doesn’t fail in a single place. It fails across the full delivery path DNS, edge, cloud, APIs, third-party services, and the last network hop.

As a result, customers notice fast. Akamai ,has reported that a 100ms delay can reduce conversions by 7%, and a 2-second delay can increase bounce rates by 103%.

Against that backdrop, this case study shows how a Canadian financial services organization used Scout-itAI's reliability intelligence to unify observability, remove noise, and improve real customer journeys without adding yet another dashboard.

Problem Statement

The client had strong tooling, but the experience was still inconsistent:

The client had strong tooling, but the experience was still inconsistent
Second, there was no standardized way to compare reliability across different parts of the business (apps, infrastructure, network, SaaS).
Third, alert fatigue was constant—“busy” didn’t mean “important,” so teams struggled to cut through the noise.
Meanwhile, stakeholders wanted to describe business impact in plain English, not technical jargon.

Meanwhile, stakeholders wanted to describe business impact in plain English, not technical jargon.

Therefore, they needed an enterprise observability approach that connected monitoring and observability to real-world outcomes: login success, payment reliability, and customer trust.

Solution Overview

Scout-itAI was implemented as an Event Intelligence Service (EIS) layer - an AI observability platform that turns telemetry into plain-language answers, and an end-to-end reliability score. For more on what they did, check out Scout-itAI's

Key capabilities used:

Reliability Path Index (RPI©)
To begin with, RPI measures how reliably business services are delivered across delivery paths, using data from up to 14 monitoring domains.
AI-Powered Insights (Scout-itAI Reliability Advisor™)
In addition, the Reliability Advisor provides issue identification, trusted answers, and guidance tied to reliability improvement built for operators and leaders.
Cloud Observability + Unified Dashboarding
Finally, a single cloud dashboard delivers centralized visibility and proactive detection before issues hit customers.

Importantly, this wasn’t just “another AI monitoring tool.” Rather, it was reliability intelligence that made application observability and network observability tell the same story.

Architecture

1) Data & Telemetry Ingestion

First, Scout-itAI connected to the client’s existing stack and pulled real-time + historical telemetry from:

AWS/Azure + on-prem systems
Application monitoring (web, mobile, APIs)
Network signals (WAN/SD-WAN, DNS/edge paths)
Tools like Splunk, Dynatrace, AppNeta, Broadcom DX NetOps/OI

Notably, this supported up to 12 months of visibility.

2) Reliability Normalization (RPI Score)

Next, large volumes of telemetry were distilled into a single RPI score with 13 levels of reliability for each customer journey (logging in, viewing accounts, making payments). Then, teams could drill down by region, channel, and environment to see exactly where the score was being impacted.

3) Correlation + Noise Reduction (Blender + Trender)

At the same time, Scout-itAI reduced noise and surfaced meaningful signals:

Blender : Six Sigma correlation to cut alert noise and surface meaningful patterns
Trender : KAMA baseline to detect drift and early degradation before outages

4) Predictive Change Impact (Predictor)

After that, Monte Carlo simulations (up to 100,000) forecast how releases or infrastructure changes would affect RPI which enabled proactive risk checks and ROI-based prioritization.

5) Plain-Language Insights + Agentic Automation

Finally, Agentic AI generated business-readable explanations, routed incidents to the right teams with context, and recommended corrective actions ultimately reducing MTTR and improving CX.

Results

With the system in place, the client used RPI to pinpoint reliability drag on customer-facing services, and then fixed the highest-impact drivers first.

Reported outcome (Canadian financial services):

“Within a month… we… saw a 5-point improvement and plan to expand RPI(c) to five customer applications this year.” scoutitai.com

Operational outcomes (observed across teams):

Faster alignment during incidents (app + network + cloud teams all talking from the same scorecard).
Less time debating dashboards; more time executing fixes.
Clearer executive communication using a single reliability narrative (service risk, customer impact, trend).

What improved (before vs after):

Area	Before	After
Reliability visibility	Fragmented KPIs	One RPI score per service
Prioritization	Loudest alert wins	Highest customer-impact drivers first
Cloud + hybrid claritym	Tool-by-tool guessing	Unified cloud observability view
Speed to start	Weeks to value	Monitoring can begin in ~5 minutes after implementation

Lessons Learned

Standardize reliability first. One RPI score is the simple way to stop dashboard arguments and get teams on the same page.
Measure how customers move through your business, not just individual bits like CPU or links. login and payment health matter way more than just stats.
Get your signals in order before you even start to automate. Clear signals = faster response times and quicker runbooks.
Make sure you can understand what your AI is telling you. The best outcomes happened when we tied insights to real business impact and were able to show actual changes.
