What Is Workload Automation?
Let's say you've got a business process. You know, like the one where your marketing team sends out an email to subscribers with a special offer, and then they wait for the money to start rolling in? That process is dull. What if, instead of just doing it repeatedly and again, you could automate it? Like, make it so that whenever someone bought your product, they are automatically added as a subscriber without any extra work on your part. That's right: AUTOMATION! Workload automation manages and automates various business processes and transactions, notably in virtual and cloud environments. It provides enterprises with a platform to centrally manage the execution of all business processes across different systems such as mainframes, clusters, distributed, virtual and cloud environments. This reduces the turnaround time for various workflows as it helps prevent and remove errors and delays from end-to-end business processes. Workload automation is an integral part of automating IT service delivery in enterprises. It helps automate tasks related to monitoring hardware and software and scheduling tasks like backups or patching systems. With workload automation in place, enterprises can ensure that these tasks are executed regularly without human intervention or manual intervention required by admins or operators. A workload automation system acts as a single point of control that adds a new efficiency level to the planning, execution and monitoring of various asynchronous applications that run in a complex, diverse and distributed IT environment. Management of single applications for business workflows to more complex, multi-user and multi-disciplinary IT systems that link back and forth to connect desktop, mobile, mainframe and cloud deliveries. This allows for rapid growth in the scope and breadth of business processes and managing different systems' workloads. This way, it ensures that systems are up and running again quickly after failures occur so that no mission-critical work is lost due to downtime during recovery efforts.
