Automating the Enterprise

• Enterprise success in today’s dynamic marketplaces requires the

agility to:

• Rapidly respond to customer

requests

• Adapt to changing market

conditions

• Empower employees with

the tools necessary to meet

evolving requirements

The Value of Enabling Business Agility


• Enterprise agility is dependent on the performance

of business-focused IT processes

• Business processes are performed by:

IT Administrative

Staff

Business

UsersExecutives Customers


• IT processes, however, are often complex and difficult to orchestrate:

• Actions may need to be performed

on disparate systems

• Actions may require the use of

multiple independent tools

• Actions may need the expertise of

multiple business professionals

Dealing with Complex Business Processes

• Intelligence must be introduced into the process to ensure appropriate

decisions are made on how to execute tasks through process

completion.

• Complex processes are far too

time-consuming and challenging

to be repeatedly performed by

expensive and busy IT

specialists.


• Dealing with increasing IT complexity:

• Excessive number of management points:

Applications, data repositories, network infrastructure, storage

infrastructure, databases, servers, environmental control units, etc.

• Resources being delivered from

multiple sources:

Static apps, web app, and virtual

apps

Multiple data repositories

Distributed services (email,

messaging, databases, etc.)

• Constantly changing environments

New requirements and services


• The reliance on manual tasks reduces the effectiveness of business

processes because they are…

• Time-consuming

• Unreliable and error-prone

• Dependent on the knowledge level

of the task performer

• Lacking an understanding of the

state of the underlying IT

infrastructure

• Costly to the business

The Value of Process Automation

• Any repeatable task can be automated.

• Top areas where automation delivers the most business value according

to EMA survey respondents:


• Often, enterprises attempt to enable automation with custom scripts, but

these require knowledgeable (and expensive) programmers.

• Unreliable

• Unsupported

• Difficult to maintain


• Process Automation – Automates a series of tasks in a business

process:

• Provides a simple method for

automating tasks without the need to

create custom scripts

• Allows multiple automated tasks to be

linked to reliably perform complex

processes

• Empowers non-IT users to rapidly

perform business tasks

Ensuring Process Reliability with Job Scheduling

• Job Scheduling – Coordinates the execution of multiple tasks to reliably

implement complex business processes:

• Ensures tasks are executed on

exactly the right resources at exactly

the right time

• Simplifies the execution of intricate

workflows across multiple enterprise

systems and applications

• A single schedule can incorporate

multiple workflows, allowing simple

management and execution of even

the most complicated task set

Optimizing Business Performance

• To effectively and rapidly enable and manage complex business

processes, organizations must adopt a unified solution that directly

integrates Process Automation with Job Scheduling

– Complex workflows are initiated from a single point

– Processes are orchestrated to directly address business

requirements

…with a Unified Business Process Approach

– With a unified approach, tasks can be executed dependent on the state

of other tasks in the process chain:

• Ensuring changing conditions in

the environment result in

appropriate outcomes in a

workflow

• Allows automated tasks to respond

to conditional job states



• Auditing processes necessary for business and

regulatory compliance achievement are also

improved when the reporting tasks are fully

automated and injected into a process workflow:

– Simplified

– More accurate

– More timely



• Improved business productivity with

unified business processes:

– End users are empowered with self-

service that delivers the resources

they require to meet business goals

• Ensures they are not developing

processes independent of IT

operations

– Fewer staff members are able to

perform more tasks in a shorter

period of time

• Minimizing costs



Conclusion

• Manual processes for orchestrating complex

business processes are inherently inefficient,

and custom scripting provides little relief.

• Process Automation provides the reliable tools

for automating complex tasks across a

workflow

• Job Scheduling enhances the value of

automation by ensuring tasks are executed at

exactly the right time, the right place, and in

the right way

• A unified approach to business process

management is essential to enabling reliable

process workflows that predictably achieve

enterprise requirements
