How it works | Firemind
IT Operations Engine

Your IT estate, run autonomously.
Inside your cloud, within your rules.

The IT Operations Engine connects to the tools you already run, fixes what it finds within guardrails you define, and auto-resolves ~90% of incidents, most before anyone is paged. Delivered with Autonomy Engineers accountable for every outcome.

~90% Auto-resolved. No human touch.220 tickets per month handled without a person touching them. In production today.
9 minFrom 2 hours. Below SLA targets, consistently. On-call stops being a punishment.
30%+ ops cost reductionCompared to your existing operations, whether in-house or outsourced.
How the engine works

Connect. Scan. Heal. Monitor.

Not a tool you operate. An engine that runs.

  • 01 · CONNECT

    Connects and onboards

    Plugs into the tools and clouds you already run: observability, ITSM, identity, IaC. It onboards your estate and builds a live map of every asset, inside your environment.

  • 02 · SCAN

    Scans the whole landscape

    Reads your entire estate for security exposure, FinOps waste, and every error, the ones in the queue and the ones nobody has reported yet.

  • 03 · HEAL

    Drives the queue to zero

    Resolves what it finds, closing incidents, fixing misconfigurations, optimising cost, within the guardrails you set. The backlog shrinks toward zero instead of growing.

  • 04 · MONITOR

    Keeps it healthy

    Watches execution around the clock, verifying every change held and catching drift before it becomes an incident. The loop never stops, so the estate stays healthy.

What it looks like in your business

Your tools. Your estate. The engine in the middle.

Runs inside your cloud account. Plugs into the tooling you already use. Your data never leaves your environment. Your team stays in control of every guardrail.

Scope

What it runs. Where it works.

Six areas of work. One engine running across all of them.

  • AI OperationsEnsuring your AI runs reliably in production: detecting drift, resolving incidents, capping spend, and tuning every model and agent.
  • MigrationsMoving off VMware, or between clouds, as a managed project.
  • Cloud Infrastructure ManagementThe everyday run work: patching, scaling, cost, fixes.
  • Application ManagementRunning the apps your business depends on: deployments, releases, runtime fixes.
  • IT Service DeskThe ticket queue: requests, joiners-movers-leavers, incidents.
  • Security ManagementEvery change checked against your rules, every action recorded, wherever the work happens.
Where it works

Same engine, same work, wherever your systems run.

  • Azure
  • GCP
  • VMware
Control and guardrails

Built so your CISO says yes.

The engine runs securely inside your cloud account, under your own policies and guardrails, and your data never leaves your environment. Permissible Actions are your whitelist; default-deny, set per tenant and per environment. Low risk auto-executes, high risk needs your approval, and every plan is checked against your rules before it runs, so "Who changed this access?" is one question with one answer: who, when, and why. If you don't allow it, the engine cannot do it.

Outcomes you can count on.

Customer stories

Outcomes from production environments.

Cloud infrastructure management and AI operations — measured on live estates.

  • An automotive services group identifies $350,000 in annual AWS savings

    A fully read-only AWS assessment across roughly 30 accounts. $350,000 a year identified, three findings no existing tool had ever surfaced.

    • Close to $350,000 a year in AWS savings identified, around 6% of total spend
    • Fully read-only assessment across roughly 30 accounts, nothing changed
    • Findings no existing monitoring tool had ever surfaced, evidenced not estimated

Technical questions

What engineers ask.

Phase 1 (Discovery) requires read-only access only. No operational risk. The agent deploys inside your cloud account using an IAM role scoped to the permissible actions you define. It never requires credentials that exceed the boundary you set. In Phase 2 onward, write access expands incrementally as your permissible actions grow. Every permission is documented and auditable.

Through Permissible Actions: an explicit allowlist you define per tenant and per environment. Auto-approve, needs-approval, and blocked tiers give you fine-grained control. Skills define how the engine responds to specific scenarios. Both are configured with Firemind during scoping. You can tighten or expand them at any time. If you don't explicitly allow an action, the engine cannot take it.

Yes, by design. The pilot runs without changes to your existing MSP contract. The engine operates in parallel, handling the work your permissible actions cover while your MSP continues as normal. This is how we generate the business case: real metrics from your environment, running alongside your current provider, so you have a direct comparison before you decide anything.

A baseline discovery report covering: estate topology, incident and alert volume by category, current MTTR benchmarks, security findings and drift, cost optimisation opportunities, and a recommended permissible actions configuration for Phase 2. The discovery report is the input to your business case. It runs read-only, zero operational risk, and takes one to two weeks from connection.
