Collaboration, Crowdsourcing, Governance: Define the future of data cataloging

In IT operations today, many hours are lost not in fixing problems—but in simply trying to understand what the problem actually is. Critical incidents often set off a chain reaction: conference calls begin, support groups light up on Teams, someone logs into TIBCO Administrator, another checks EMS queues, another sifts through Splunk logs. Yet after 15 minutes, three people, and five different systems, the answer is often still elusive: “Is the app even running?”

This is the heart of the challenge. Too much time gets lost in chasing information before resolution even begins. Every minute spent hunting for logs, dashboards, or process health is a minute that business systems remain down and customers are impacted.  

This is exactly the problem that the iSteer StackWatch AI Agent is designed to solve.  

At iSteer, we’ve spent years helping enterprises modernize their integration and support landscapes. StackWatch AI Agent is the next step in that journey — born from real-world problems in TIBCO ecosystems, designed hand-in-hand with support teams, and powered by AI to scale with your evolving needs.

Our vision is to turn every support desk into a smart desk — one where AI augments human expertise, so critical incidents are resolved faster, risks are detected earlier, and teams can operate with confidence.

The Challenge: Too Many Systems, Too Much Delay

Imagine this scenario:
A P1 ticket lands — a critical application is failing to transform messages to the CRM system. Within minutes, chat groups go live and multiple teams scramble to investigate.

• Someone logs into TIBCO Administrator to check deployments.

• Another digs into EMS queues using GEMS or CLI.

• A different engineer fires up Splunk and runs raw log queries.

• Meanwhile, messages fly across Teams channels: “Any update? Is the app even running?”

By the time an answer takes shape, it has consumed 15 minutes, 3 people, and 5 different systems. Multiply this across dozens of incidents, and the operational drag becomes enormous.

The question is simple: What if these answers were available instantly through a single conversational interface?

Meet StackWatch AI Agent: The Future of IT Ops Assistance

StackWatch AI Agent turns natural queries into instant, actionable insights. Instead of hunting across tools, your teams can simply ask:

• “How many pending messages are in queue sample?”

• “Show me last 10 errors for App X.”

• “When was the last deployment for this app?”

The Agent securely connects to TIBCO EMS, TIBCO Administrator, Splunk, and Confluence, interprets the query using NLP, executes the right commands in real time, and responds back directly within familiar collaboration channels like Microsoft Teams.

StackWatch replaces complexity with clarity.

 Key Capabilities of StackWatch AI Agent

1. TIBCO EMS Integration
From queue health checks to listener monitoring, StackWatch leverages NLP to instantly surface EMS insights. No need for CLI commands or GUI logins — your teams can:

• Monitor pending message counts for queues and topics.

• Retrieve queue listener counts.

• Identify consuming applications.

• Run real-time health checks by simply asking in plain English.

2. TIBCO Administrator Integration
Application availability directly impacts business outcomes. StackWatch transforms how ops teams track deployments and application health:

• Get the deployment status of any app on demand.

• Retrieve last deployment timestamps.

• List active, swapped, or aborted processes.

• Monitor overall app health and availability continuously.

3. Splunk & Log Analysis
Searching logs shouldn’t require coding expertise. With StackWatch, teams can type natural queries like:

• “Show last 10 errors for App X.”

• “Fetch errors in the last hour for service Y.”

The Agent automatically translates the request into a valid Splunk query, executes it, and returns results in real time. It even builds sample queries when needed, turning complex syntax into simple human understanding.

4. Confluence Knowledge Access
Support doesn’t stop with systems — knowledge and documentation are just as critical. StackWatch integrates with Confluence to:

• Fetch application overviews and architecture diagrams.

• Provide direct links to runbooks.

• Identify owners and points of contact (POCs).

• Streamline onboarding by surfacing dependencies and guides instantly.

Without learning Splunk syntax, users can type:  

– “Errors from the last 30 minutes for BillingApp.”  

– The agent automatically builds the query, executes it, and returns results.  

4. Knowledge at Your Fingertips  

Onboarding or escalation made easy with:  

– Links to runbooks.  

– Owner/POC information.  

– Architecture overviews that normally take time to dig out of Confluence.  

 Business Benefits  

Faster Incident Resolution: Eliminate delays caused by tool-hopping and cross-team dependencies. Teams get instant answers, reducing Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR).

Improved Productivity: Free support staff from repetitive queries. Let AI handle the basics so humans focus on complex troubleshooting.

Reduced Errors: Manual queries and lookups are prone to mistakes. StackWatch ensures precision every time with consistent, automated retrieval.

At iSteer.com, we understand that in today’s digital-first economy, card-not-present (CNP) fraud continues to challenge financial institutions and merchants worldwide. As online transactions surge, so does the sophistication of fraudulent activities, making traditional security measures insufficient. That’s why we’ve developed comprehensive EMV 3D Secure solutions that combine deep technical expertise with AI-powered intelligence to deliver unprecedented results for our clients.

iSteer provides a highly configurable, scalable authentication platform that can be setup to cover card-not-present transactions (ACS/3DS) and all other authentication scenarios such as login, profile update, beneficiary addition, wallet load, card link to wallet, fund transfers etc.

The ACS (3DS) platform is fully certified by EMV and all major global card networks and is provided as a hosted (SaaS) model from the PCI DSS & PCI 3DS certified cloud setup. The enterprise multi-factor authentication platform can be set up on the public cloud or on customer’s private cloud.

The system is designed to provide multiple authentication options that can be fully configured as per the business requirements. These include OTP (SMS, Email, IVR), knowledge-based questions, Out of band (in app) authentication such as biometrics, swipe, soft token, and silent factors, including device fingerprint and behavioral biometrics.

The payment security platform provided by iSteer is backed by a powerful, enterprise fraud risk monitoring system that is designed to evaluate risk real time across any channel/use cases whether financial or non-financial. The system has a highly configurable rule engine complemented by an AI-ML module to facilitate a robust risk analysis.

iSteer’s Comprehensive 3D Secure Solution Architecture

At iSteer, we believe that effective fraud prevention starts with understanding how EMV 3D Secure works at every level. Our solution encompasses the complete authentication ecosystem, from initial transaction processing to final authorization, ensuring seamless integration with your existing infrastructure.

Dual Authentication Experience Design

Our platform intelligently manages two distinct authentication pathways:

Frictionless Authentication for Low-Risk Transactions
When our AI determines a transaction is low-risk, authentication happens invisibly in the background. Customers see only a brief security confirmation before their purchase completes. Our system processes data points in milliseconds to make these accurate risk assessments.

Risk Based Adaptive Authentication for High Risk Transactions
For transactions requiring additional verification, our platform presents contextual challenges—SMS codes, biometric authentication, or security questions—tailored to the specific risk profile. This ensures security without abandoning legitimate customers.
