As orchestration spans mainframes, cloud, data pipelines, and AI workflows, fragmented telemetry leaves teams and AI systems without a shared operational picture. Standardized Workflow-aware Observability solves this by unifying workflow telemetry, logs, and SLA status through a common OpenTelemetry-based model, giving every role tailored insight from one consistent data foundation. In this article, we expand on the importance of standardized workflow-aware observability and present Beta Systems' ANOW platform as a solution to this challenge.
