What is IT Process Automation?
IT process automation software allows IT professionals to develop, manage, and monitor automated processes from a single dashboard. Typically process automation software automates repetitive tasks and time-consuming manual processes, helping organizations reduce human error, optimize scalability, and realize cost savings.
But the role of IT has evolved over time and so too have IT's automation needs. Today, distributed IT environments include multiple vendors, diverse applications, and critical and ever-growing business operations and processes.
As a result, IT teams are seeking process automation solutions that offer more than just automation for manual tasks. They want solutions that enable automating end-to-end workflows across the enterprise while providing real opportunities for intelligent process automation, enabling seamless adoption into DevOps processes, and innovations in customer experience. To help ensure initiatives and project management don’t stall due to IT processes, IT teams also want a user interface with role-based permissions levels that enables self-service and on-demand data for business users.
