What is IT Workflow Automation?

Dictionary defines workflow automation as…

“as the technique, method, or system of operating or
controlling a process by highly automatic means,
reducing human intervention to a minimum.”

In IT’s context:

“Managing an IT process through a series of
automated steps is Workflow Automation”
Why do you need it?

IT admins spend most of their time performing…

• Troubleshooting steps to find out the root cause
• A repetitive network maintenance tasks.

While some of the above tasks can be performed only by a “real”
person. Most are routine and repetitive, needing zero human
intervention. Thus can be handled efficiently through automation.

Automation in its simplest form is the logical answer for increased
efficiency and productivity.
What IT Workflow Automation can do
              for you?




Automated workflow system reduces cost, streamlines
processes, increases efficiency ,resulting in better process
management and tracking. Resources can be used more
optimally to focus on business priorities.
What IT Workflow Automation
             doesn’t do?
IT Workflow Automation DOES NOT replace
people, instead it helps you use your resources
more efficiently.
How it is done today?
Large Scale Enterprises invest largely in luxurious
automation tools involving multiple resources.


Similarly Small & Medium level businesses make use
of cheap yet complex scripts for automation. Admins who use
these complex scripts to automate IT tasks get FRUSTRATED
when they have to amend these scripts to suit their needs.

So what’s the best solution for them ??
