This white paper draws on new Enterprise Management Associates® (EMA™) research on workload automation software. Digitization of business processes is table stakes in the modern economy. IT infrastructure must be modernized to support agile development and the transparency and speed that digitized organizations demand. Workload automation (WLA) is a key IT operations tool. Modern WLA software can do wonders for the development process, speeding digitization efforts and supporting digitized processes. While some businesses may dread migrating to new WLA software, those migrating within the past four years found the process easier than expected when assisted by good conversion tools included in modern solutions. Given how essential good WLA software can be to the digitization process, EMA believes the risk of staying on the wrong WLA product may outweigh the risks of migrating.
