NEW YORK, Oct. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In the quest to become a more service-defined, agile IT department, automating repeatable tasks has become a must on CIOs' to-do lists. Experts, however, warn IT pros not to fall into the trap of implementing separate tools to automate each individual task, a practice which can result in an increase in IT management costs as well as the costs to acquire and deploy automation assets. Because no single automation tool will meet every need, CIOs are left wondering which tools to deploy for which tasks. To help, Logicalis US, an international IT solutions and managed services provider (www.us.logicalis.com), is offering complimentary access to a recent infrastructure and operations (I&O) automation research report from information technology research and advisory firm Gartner, Inc.
Download a complimentary copy of Gartner's recent research, "Map I&O Automation Capabilities and Needs for a Successful Tool Strategy," (March 2016) here: http://ow.ly/HJlp305bM8U.
"The secret to simultaneously delivering critical services to business users and reducing the effort IT spends on the processes required to do so is automation," says Mike Alley, Director, Service Defined Solutions, Logicalis US. "Therefore, it's important to create a well thought out automation strategy rather than simply trying to automate processes on the fly. By mapping out a multi-year automation strategy, you will be better prepared to leverage the tools and skillsets at your disposal, your entire data center will operate more smoothly, and your return on investment will be significantly higher in the long run."
A Three-Tiered Approach to Automation
To start, Gartner's research suggests breaking automation functions into three key categories – IT tasks, IT services, and business services – then evaluating, prioritizing and consolidating automation technologies accordingly.
