What is IT automation?
Automation is the use of software to perform tasks that help reduce cost, complexity, and chance of human error in previously manual processes. It is prevalent in IT systems and business decision software and can also be found in other industries such as manufacturing, retail, transportation and healthcare.
IT automation, sometimes referred to as infrastructure automation, uses repeatable instructions to reduce or streamline human interaction with IT systems. This could involve a single task, groups of tasks, or even a complex orchestration of tasks. Its key purpose is to help staff shift their efforts from tedious day-to-day matters to more strategic initiatives and innovations so they are able to focus on more interesting and productive work.
