Change is upon us.
The pace and scale of modern business innovation is increasing. Many industries are experiencing widespread disruption. Digitally connected customers demand more at a faster pace. New competition comes from outside of traditional market segments. These trends place competitive pressures on businesses.
IT complexity can inhibit innovation.
IT modernization is all about finding smarter ways to do business. However, IT oper-ations teams manage ever-changing, complex IT architectures built on multiple platforms and complicated technology stacks. Many organizations struggle to deploy a modern infrastructure due to the maintenance cost and management complexity of their existing systems. Combined with the need to innovate at a faster pace, this complexity places a burden on IT operations teams. They are now asked to move faster, manage increasingly complex IT environments, and accommodate new development approaches and technologies.

What is automation?
Automation is the use of software to perform tasks in order to reduce cost, complexity, and errors. It is prevalent in IT systems and business decision software, and can also be found in other industries like manufacturing, robotics, vehicle control, and more.IT automation uses repeatable instructions to replace an IT professional’s manual work. This could be a single task, groups of tasks, or even a complex orchestration of tasks. Its key purpose is to help overburdened staff regain control and shift their focus from tedious day-to-day matters to strategic initiatives. IT automation can help staff better perform their tasks and increase job satisfaction.
