Democratizing IT Automation in a Multi-Cloud World ipad

Workload automation (WLA) has evolved. This once-commoditized solution is experiencing a renaissance. Enterprises are now using modern WLA platforms to orchestrate a broad range of use cases that support a broad range of stakeholders across on-prem, private cloud and multi-cloud environments.

Inside this report you will find key statistics that illustrate how WLA has changed and where it will continue to evolve. This study itself, developed from a sizable EMA market survey, was designed to look more closely at the organization of work¬load automation teams; how broadly WLA access and information are shared across the organization; and other human factors that help to shape the best practices of those WLA teams achieving greater automation success.
