THE MODERN WORKLOAD AUTOMATION NEWSLETTER
SAAS AND SELF-SERVICE
DECEMBER 2023
FIXING AUTOMATION FOG
In today’s newsletter, we tell the real story about Workload Automation’s centrality to digital transformation, examine its ability to reduce the code required for transformation by 25-30%, . . . and ask: what type of job scheduler qualifies as a SOAP?
Perhaps you can’t optimize the SDLC and the development stack much more than you already have. But what about the DevOps interface?
The focus, so to speak, on Workload Automation (WLA) started with COVID. But why is something we used to set-and-forget suddenly so important? For millions of companies, the big questions are: Does digital transformation really depend on Workload Automation? And will our current solution cut it? Here’s what we know. (Above, a skeptical but intrigued business man.)
STORIES WE'RE FOLLOWING
Can you rely on your automation vendor? Maybe not. Some vendors create massive uncertainty about the longevity of their solution. Can you name the signs it’s time to migrate? (Depicted above, the model of a Tidal user reacts to reports of sweeping product team layoffs.)
A. frequent product owner changes
B. new releases are mostly bug fixes
IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Major shifts in 3-4 years. Gartner predicts 80% of companies using Workload Automation will shfit to SOAPs soon to streamline operations and drive cost optimization. (Illustrated above, Gartner’s 6 characteristics of Workload Automation SOAPs)
