As businesses deal with more processes, fewer financial and human resources, and greater volumes of data than ever before, the ability to quickly and cost-effectively adjust to changing demands has become an essential element of IT operations. IT departments are operating in increasingly complex environments that contain an array of heterogeneous applications, databases, and platforms. With this increase in data and growing processing volumes, workload automation solutions can deliver numerous advantages.
Workload Automation provides IT the ability to automate an array of business processes such as data warehousing/ETL, business process management (BPM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), business intelligence (BI), and more.
Business Process Automation (BPA) focuses on the mission-critical IT actions that are at the core of running the business. As the pace of business increases, automation can be leveraged to eliminate manual processes, and the errors that go along with these manual handoffs. With BPA, businesses can do more with key applications like
Informatica PowerCenter,
Oracle PeopleSoft,
SAP BusinessObjects Data Services,
Microsoft Dynamics AX, and so many others without the need to spend a lot of time and resources on scripting to exchange information to upstream and downstream workflows.
Benefits of Workload Automation & Business Process Automation:
- Reduces errors that go along with manual handoffs
- Provides transparency within departments and across the enterprise as a whole
- Promotes ERP, BPM, BI, and other critical business initiatives
- Reduces latency time and improves job success with a rich event-driven architecture and granular date/time scheduling capabilities
- Optimizes the efficiency and speed of your workloads to deliver faster time to insight by business users
- Allows businesses to more quickly adapt to changing needs and conditions
