BigPanda, a leader in Agentic IT Operations, has acquired Velocity, an AI-powered Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) company. This strategic acquisition is designed to accelerate BigPanda's leadership in the emerging field of agentic AI for IT by integrating Velocity's technology and expertise. The move strengthens BigPanda's ability to automate manual IT operations, a market estimated at over $250 billion annually, and advances its vision of bringing reasoning-based automation to enterprise-scale IT resilience.

Velocity's founder and CEO, Tal Kain, joins BigPanda as VP of AI Detection and Response.
The acquisition deepens investment in automating L1 operations and major incident response.
The goal is to transform reactive, manual IT processes into proactive, AI-driven automation.
This targets a $250 billion market for manual, human-driven IT operations.
BigPanda was founded on the premise that AI could fundamentally transform how enterprises manage digital services by eliminating manual toil. Its Agentic IT Operations platform automates Level 1 operations, augments SRE teams, and works to predict and prevent incidents. The acquisition of Velocity deepens this foundation by bringing in specialized talent and technology focused on SRE and major incident response, areas ripe for intelligent automation.
Assaf Resnick, CEO and co-founder of BigPanda, emphasized the strategic fit, stating, “BigPanda is defining what Agentic IT Operations looks like in the enterprise, and our customers are already realizing powerful and measurable outcomes. With Velocity, we’re accelerating that vision with world-class talent, proven technology, and shared belief in how agentic AI will redefine IT Operations.”
A key outcome of the acquisition is the integration of Velocity's leadership. Founder and CEO Tal Kain joins BigPanda as Vice President of AI Detection and Response. Kain brings decades of experience in building AI systems for complex enterprise environments, with a background that includes leadership roles in startups acquired by major firms and early career experience in elite intelligence units.
Kain commented on the shared mission, saying, “Velocity was built on the conviction that engineers should focus on solving big problems, not chasing alerts. Combining Velocity's innovation with BigPanda's reach, scale, and data foundation, we're able to deliver agentic workflows and AI-native tools so teams can move faster, stay focused, and deliver reliability at scale.” This union positions BigPanda to more effectively automate the detection and response lifecycle, helping IT teams reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) and improve overall operational resilience.
BigPanda delivers agentic automation for IT Operations. We enable enterprises to keep the digital world running by transforming manual and reactive human processes into intelligent, autonomous systems that detect, respond, and prevent IT incidents at machine speed. That’s why the world’s most trusted brands rely on BigPanda to improve operational efficiency and deliver exceptional service reliability to their customers.
