Defining IT Automation

IT automation is the use of software and services to replace or augment repeatable, routine processes, therefore, reducing manual intervention. As an example, IT Automation can be applied to handle time-consuming and repetitive practices such as patching and other types of maintenance, thus saving IT staff time to focus on more strategic work. IT automation is a smart approach to help with so many other tasks, such as monitoring, infrastructure management, incident management, deployment of applications, enforcement of security and risk management, and more.

Some key benefits of IT automation can include infrastructure optimization, fewer errors that happen during manual tasks, as well as time and cost savings. Many companies also realize easier auditing because of standardized processes and workflows that result from IT automation. And IT automation can help your organization respond to major security incidents more swiftly, reducing the potential cost and other damage to your organization and the clients you serve.
