Automation Benefits
Save up to 30% in IT Operational Costs
Companies who have implemented automation have made 30% savings in IT operational costs by eliminating waste, removing redundant systems and ceasing the requirement for overtime working or outsourcing delivery
Increase Productivity
Delegate tasks that would often be too complex or would require high level access to complete, to Level 1 resources, as automation does all the hard work
Improve Agility
Automation frees up skilled resources to react to new requirements and technologies and automation can simplify to deployment and adoption of new technology, as not everyone needs to become an expert in its use
Reduce Errors
Automation follows the same process every time, so inevitable human errors are removed from task fulfilment
Efficiency
Automation drives swifter more efficient processes. Typically tasks that would normally involve multiple teams and process delays, sometimes taking weeks, can be delivered in minutes using automation

Staffing
Reports project a 45% shortage of data center staff, which means insufficient labor for manual management
Availability
The leading IT analysts also report that 80% of all system outages are due to manual change, which impacts SLAs
Efficiency
