Avoiding Business Snack Status: New EMA Research On Automation Intelligence

October 20, 2024

The EMA just put out a new white paper sponsored by Broadcom that highlights research on the Automation Maturity Model and Automation Analytics & Intelligence (AAI).

Cliff notes below.

In the wild and unpredictable jungle of digital transformation, automation is your only trusty guide.

To trek through cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT), the automation you choose is critical.

The Automation Explosion

In 2023, a whopping 82% of organizations reported an increase in job volumes.

As companies leap into automation, the use of Workload Automation (WLA) products has soared from 43.9% in 2019 to an impressive 51.2% in 2023.

While everyone is eager to swing from the vines, things have gotten a bit tangled.

The Perils of Complexity

Here’s the kicker: more automation can actually be problematic.

Missed service-level agreements (SLAs) have climbed from 84% in 2020 to 89% in 2023, and job failure rates are slithering up.

The problem?

When multiple Workload Automation (WLA) products are in play, the silos will slow you down.

Leveling Up Your Automation Skills

To avoid becoming a WLA casuality, you can level up your automation maturity.

This means evolving from a reactive infrastructure management style – where you’re merely surviving day-to-day with multiple automation tools in play – to a dynamic, business-driven management approach.

This means consolidating your automation, so it’s sharp and efficient. 

Consolidated Automation Provides Cross-Platform Visibility

Consolidated automation will give you:

  • Cross-platform visibility: Keep an eye on the entire landscape.
  • Predictive analytics: Spot potential SLA impacts before they hit.
  • Business process monitoring: Understand your surroundings from a business perspective, so you’re never caught off guard by hidden dangers (or unexpected tasks).

This can be accomplished with several different automation leaders. The white paper highlights Broadcom’s Automation Analytics & Intelligence platform, and you can reach out to RMT for a full list of options.

Conclusion: Mastering the Wilds

With the right automation intelligence, you can turn your automation from a basic task manager into a savvy decision-maker. 

RMT can help you steer your organization through the jungle with confidence and clarity.
