What We DO

B-Yond delivers AI-powered network automation solutions to Communication Service Providers worldwide.
We solve the long pole in go-to-market for network services
and workloads: The triage and root cause of the technology lifecycle.
This slow, data-heavy, and manual process is accelerated by several orders of magnitude. In the process, we capture a continuously increasing pool of tribal knowledge, which leads to further optimization.

Our products are deployed at some of the largest communication service providers (CSPs) in the World, including the top three in North America.

We have captured decades of domain intelligence in our Machine Learning (ML) models and packaged this into our product – AGILITY.
We accelerate the transformation of network operation from years to days by enabling AI informed decisions that automate the mundane. We bring simplicity to an inherently complex environment, enabling our customers to focus on taking action instead of asking what actions to take. Those actions can be automated too!
