XOPS

Deployment

How adoption
actually works.

Start with the use case you care about most, and enable the agent that owns it. Connect only the evidence it depends on. Add agents on your timeline. No transformation program. No 18-month implementation. No platform replacement.

What deployment looks like

Built on the stack
you already run.

XOPS sits above your existing stack. Nothing gets ripped out. No data migration. No SoR replacement. The first integration is read-only. The first governed outcome runs in a validated mode before it ever touches production. The first Outcome runs in production after your team signs off, not before.

What deployment is not

No rip-and-replace.

  • No SoR replacement. Workday stays. ServiceNow stays. Okta stays. The systems you already run keep running.
  • No data migration. The graph reads from your systems; it doesn’t replace their state of record.
  • No 18-month implementation. Platform ready in week 1 for outcome activation against the first domain, with the heavy lifting on our side, not yours.
  • No certification programs. Operators learn from the Outcomes themselves, not 200-slide training tracks.

What deployment is

Connect, configure, run.

  • Connectors to your first domain’s SoRs. Typically 6–12 systems, read-only, with explicit sign-off required for any change.
  • Pre-built Outcomes loaded. Tuned to your policies, not configured from scratch. The work is universal; the parameters are yours.
  • Validated runs against staging. Your operators review every action and approve every Outcome before it goes live.
  • First Outcome live once you activate. Platform ready in week 1; measured against the baseline you set at kickoff. Numbers you can take to the board.

The adoption motion

Start with one use case.
Enable the agent that owns it.

You do not have to rearchitect anything, or roll out every agent, to begin. Four milestones, each with something you can see and a sign-off you control. The platform is ready in week 1; the agent goes live in production when your team signs off, not on a calendar we set.

  1. Milestone 1 · Connect

    Platform ready in week 1

    Choose the use case you care about most and enable the agent that owns it. Read-only connectors come up against only the systems that use case depends on.

    You getThe agent connected to your data, and a baseline you both agree defines success.

    Sign-off: Ready to validate

  2. Milestone 2 · Validate

    The agent runs in validation mode

    It works your real data without changing anything. Your operators review every action it would take, the exceptions it raises and the approval gates it stops at.

    You getA reviewed record of what the agent will do, under your policy, before it touches production.

    Sign-off: Ready to activate

  3. Milestone 3 · Activate

    The first outcome in production

    Once your team signs off, the agent runs the outcome through governed execution and verifies the result in every system involved.

    You getMeasured results against your baseline. Numbers you can take to the board.

    Sign-off: Ready to expand

  4. Milestone 4 · Expand

    The next use case, or the next agent

    A quarterly review picks what comes next. It reuses the connectors and evidence already in place, which is why it costs a fraction of the first.

    You getMore of the work owned by agents, at the pace you choose.

    Sign-off: Your call, not a sales calendar

The first domain should pay for itself

Start by enabling the agent for the use case that solves your biggest pain on day one: Hardware, Software or AI. Wherever you begin, results from the first agent validate the approach. At one Fortune 500 technology enterprise, signal-driven device refresh is delivering $4.3M+ in annual savings while extending average device life 1–2 years.

Operational ownership

Joint ownership.
No ambiguity.

We own the platform and the runbooks. You own access, policy, change management, and pace. Every action is attributable; every escalation has an owner.

XOPS owns

  • · Runbook engineering and maintenance. We build and maintain the underlying automation; you decide how it's configured.
  • · Platform uptime, security, and audit log. SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, your trust center expectations.

You own

  • · SoR access and credentials. Provisioned through your IGA, read-only.
  • · Policy approvals and sign-off on each Outcome. Nothing fires in production without your operator signing.
  • · Internal change management. Operator comms, process reviews, organizational readiness.
  • · First use case and agent. We recommend based on the pain we see; you decide based on the pain you live.
  • · Runbook Config decisions. You decide which configuration parameters and policies apply to each runbook.
  • · Pace of expansion. The next decision or outcome is your call, not a sales calendar.

Platform ready in week 1.
Outcomes on your timeline.

One agent first, on the stack you already run. The numbers you take to the board come from the data the deployment generates.
