Business-Driven Automation

Business-driven automation (BDA) is the optimal stage in an organization’s IT “automation maturity" where it manages by both business value and operational risk to realize the highest efficiencies and cost benefits through leveraging automation. 

BDA raises the bar by comprehensively mapping your “current automation maturity” while providing paths to business-driven automation by leveraging new and existing IT investments. BDA enables you to reduce costs and increase agility and service quality by enabling dynamic, real-time response to changing business demands, meaning that  IT can respond at the speed of business. 

BDA also helps reduce risk and human error by automating complex processes, while minimizing costs by optimizing the utilization of physical and virtual assets. This provides increased agility and reduces unnecessary CAPEX outlays and OPEX costs. 

Lastly, BDA also enables your IT staff to work on more strategic projects by automating many of the labor intensive tasks involved in deploying, configuring and managing the resources that support business services.

The combination of CA Workload Automation, CA IT Process Automation Manager and Spectrum Automation Manager allows customers to gain efficiencies in executing critical jobs and workloads by intelligently assigning workload requirements to available capacity.  Provisioning additional capacity across both physical and virtual resources ensures that jobs will execute, uninterrupted, to make certain that SLAs are met.
