OUTCOMES

The power of workload automation and scheduling in AutomateNOW!

  • The Self-Service module enables business power-users to run complex queries and database scripts without the supervision of IT administrators and specialists, when their execution will have no impact on critical processes.
  • Automate mass and repetitive administrative processes implemented in a similar form on a large number of environments, e.g. patching, running instances, disabling cloud instances, etc.). This is a classic example of workload automation and scheduling.
  • Thanks to the automation of processes and tasks, disaster recovery tests (backup, recovery, checking environments when switching from PRD to DRC) as part of the BCP policy review allows you to shorten such processes. This significantly reduces the involvement of IT staff (DR tests currently last several hours for one client for 3 people instead of the entire weekend (Fri, 17:00 – Sun, 21:00) for 13-15 people).
  • Perform managed file transfer tasks perfectly by sending millions of files a day between dozens of systems, with control of their quality, consistency and dependencies between systems.
  • The built-in One Touch Migration functionality allows you to easily transfer process and task definitions between test / dev / preprod / uat / prod / drc environments, making it easier to maintain consistency between environments.
  • AutomateNOW! integrates with ITSM class systems (e.g. Jira, Remedy, ServiceNOW), so it is possible to automatically generate tickets, monitor them and automate the execution and closing of orders.
