Universal Automation Center (UAC) Platform: Data Sheet

The most modern real-time IT automation and orchestration platform designed to centrally manage and orchestrate automated jobs, tasks and workflows across hybrid IT environments from on-prem to the cloud.

The Stonebranch Universal Automation Center (UAC) platform supports your entire hybrid IT environment, including on-premises, cloud, and containerized microservices. The platform runs automation in real-time, responds intelligently to business needs, and integrates with just about any application or platform you can throw at it.

Six Pillars of Orchestration and Automation within the UAC Platform

The Stonebranch UAC helps organizations automate, manage, and orchestrate IT tasks and processes across multiple platforms and business applications in real-time. Speaking of integration, connecting with your platform and application ecosystem is paramount to using the UAC. Only by connecting the dots between systems can an enterprise truly achieve workflow orchestration across the business. Break down automation silos by enabling centralized control and visibility across your entire hybrid IT environment.

Primary Pillars to Help IT Ops Teams Scale to Meet Business Demands

Event-Driven Automation – UAC automates IT processes in real-time. The event-based approach launches tasks, jobs, and workflows based on system triggers that can happen at any time. The outcome is automation in the moment, versus legacy batch and time-based job scheduling software approaches — which the UAC also supports.

Workflow Automation and Orchestration – Within the platform, enterprises can visually design workflows that span across any environment. The platform features low- or no-code drag-and-drop capabilities and helps enterprises connect the dots between applications or platforms.

Self-Service Automation – This is where you can support your Citizen Automators. The platform uses access controls via member groups to customize the experience for DevOps, Data Analysts, and really any business user group like finance or HR. The UAC also uses what we call up-stream integrations, which allow end-users to kick off and view the status of workflows directly from within tools like ServiceNow, Slack, and Microsoft Teams.

Infrastructure and Service Automation – With UAC, you can create, start, stop, terminate, monitor, and alter both on-prem and cloud infrastructures. Plus, many of our customers like the platform’s ability to empower end-users, like DevOps, with self-service provisioning via infrastructure-as-code capabilities.

Manage Data Pipelines – Automate the flow of data between disparate applications and platforms via native managed file transfer capabilities. Data movement is highly secure, and the platform is designed to transfer data within your internal environment or externally with third-party partners and vendors.

Analytics and Visibility – Within the platform, you have a command-center style set of views that provide alerts, dashboards, SLA monitoring, and much more. This includes the ability to customize views by individual end-users and member groups.
