# Apica > Apica provides agentic-ready telemetry data management and observability infrastructure for the AI era. Apica helps enterprises control exploding telemetry volumes with a pipeline-first architecture that processes, enriches, and governs data before costly platform ingestion — reducing observability costs by up to 40% without vendor lock-in. Recognized as a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Observability Platforms. Apica Ascent is the only complete telemetry data management product suite built for agentic AI environments. The OpenTelemetry-native platform collects, controls, stores, and observes telemetry across hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures, integrating with existing tools — Splunk, Datadog, Grafana, and open-source stacks — rather than forcing replacements. New Omdia research (300+ enterprise IT decision-makers, March 2026) found enterprises expect 9.5x telemetry growth from agentic AI within two years, and that telemetry pipeline adopters are 50% more likely to be prepared. ## Research & Reports - [The Agentic AI Telemetry Crisis — Omdia Research Report 2026](https://www.apica.io/state-of-agentic-ready-observability-infrastructure-report-2026/): Survey of 300+ enterprise IT decision-makers on telemetry growth (9.5x expected), observability costs ($3.17M average annual spend, growing 28% YoY), and agentic AI readiness.
