Automation is the ability of an IT infrastructure to sense, respond and ultimately adapt to change in accordance with business policies and objectives. Quite simply, it is about freeing IT professionals to focus on higher-value tasks by making technology work smarter, with business rules guiding systems to be self-configuring, self-healing, self-optimizing and self-protecting.
To help you understand your organization's current automation capabilities and map key focus areas to enhance these capabilities, Tivoli software from IBM has created a comprehensive Automation Assessment tool. The tool measures your level of automation function against each of six functional areas within your IT environment.
