As businesses deal with more digital processes 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, processes, and platforms, 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 including
Informatica PowerCenter,
Oracle PeopleSoft,
SAP BusinessObjects Data Services,
Microsoft Dynamics AX, and many more, without having to spend a lot of time and resources scripting to exchange information between upstream and downstream workflows.
Benefits of Workload Automation & Business Process Automation:
- Reduce errors that go along with manual handoffs
- Provide transparency within departments and across the enterprise as a whole
- Promote ERP, BPM, BI, and other critical business initiatives
- Reduce latency times and improve Job success with a rich, event-driven architecture
- Provide actionable insights that facilitate optimal workload completion
- Allow businesses to more quickly adapt to changing needs and conditions

Full API Accessibility
ActiveBatch Service Library extends the power of the Integrated Jobs Library with API accessibility that allows users to load and execute WSDLs, SOAP Web Services, RESTful Services, stored procedures, .Net Assemblies, and command lines and turn them into reusable Job Steps. As a result, developers can integrate with virtually any technology or application that ActiveBatch doesn't already provide built-in support for, increasing productivity by getting the most out of every application.
Machine Learning-Powered Queue Allocation Optimizes Resources and Promoted Scalability
ActiveBatch provides users with built-in Heuristic Queue Allocation (HQA), a service within the Job Scheduler that evaluates historical data and environmental statistics to predict the optimal assignment of workflows to Queues (machine paths/resources). HQA intelligently distributes Job load across all available and acceptable Queues to minimize slack time, reduce idle machine resources, and promote scalability, especially in cloud and hybrid environments.
Making Business/Help Desk Users More Productive and IT Less Busy
ActiveBatch Self-Service Portal is a user-friendly, web-based application that allows Help Desk and Business teams to complete daily and ad hoc processes, freeing IT from repetitive requests. IT sets up the environment and manages security features including multi-factor authentication, empowering Business to run and monitor specific Jobs based upon departmental or individual requirements. Business users can easily query data, share files, generate BI reports, and more, and Help Desk teams can execute tasks like provisioning machines, rebooting systems, and resetting passwords, all without the day-to-day involvement of IT.
