Infrastructure Automation

Stay in Control, Automatically

The biggest cost to most organisations is its people and the biggest cause of infrastructure outage is human error (unplanned change). Infrastructure automation tackles these two points head on by releasing expensive resources back to core business activities and removing the human element from menial and repetitive tasks. Human nature often means that such tasks are neglected (or avoided) to the detriment of the overall business. An infrastructure automation strategy does require discipline and typically drives a fundamental change in culture but the benefits are obvious and far-reaching.

What are the Benefits?

• Infrastructure standardisation
• Release expensive resources back to core business activities
• Reduce levels of unplanned change and issues arising from human error
• Improve business agility
• Increase efficiency
• Reduce cost

How is this Achieved?

• Identification – clearly articulate and define the tasks within the current infrastructure model that are suitable for automation processes
• Implementation – define an automation strategy that avoids a patchwork technology approach in favour of an integrated system that promotes standard practices throughout the organisation
• Enforcement – monitor automated infrastructure and once transition to an automated environment has been achieved use manual activities as an option of last resort only. This discipline will re-enforce the automated culture.
