Automation allows you to automate tasks on remote services, servers, applications, and hardware. It removes the need to manually perform repetitive or rules-based tasks. It can streamline the way IT operates and shift tedious administration tasks away from people in order to allow them to focus on higher-value work. Since the automated processes are recorded, management can review these events to determine if there are areas where further improvement can and should be madefor continuous improvement. Not only does Automation save your organization a significant amount of money in terms of operating costs, but it also frees up service desk analysts to focus their efforts on more mission-critical tasks such as assisting customers on complex issues and customer satisfaction.
