Overview:
Enterprise Management Associates® (EMA®) research shows 75% of CIOs are facing budget cuts. Most CIOs need to go beyond obvious cost reduction measures to address the largest single IT cost - staff.

Workload Automation (WLA) effects real cost savings by:

• Assisting in organizational efforts to improve productivity, minimize revenue loss, and reduce staff time spent on problem resolution


• Eliminating the effect of outages that may cost millions of dollars an hour, and which waste IT staff on routine remediation


• Improving integration to eliminate manual interactions, free up staff, reduce errors, and eliminate on-call and third shift costs


• Cutting software costs by consolidating multiple vendors to one integrated solution that eliminates manual interventions and improves long-term productivity and service


• Embedding knowledge and abilities in software, reducing skill requirements, lowering training costs, and freeing up staff without impacting business capabilities
