Workload automation in 2019 is in a phase of consolidation of vendors and expansion of capabilities. It is a very mature market, one that has been around for more than 40 years. It is also a very saturated market, one that has seen adoption by a significant majority of potential users. As a result, there has been consolidation in this market. Most recently, HelpSystems acquired MVP. CA acquired Automic in 2016, and in 2018 CA was acquired by Broadcom. The expansion is coming in the form of broadening the span of influence of workload automation since many organizations are automating more types of IT operations activities and some are reaching across their organization to empower business users and automate business processes.
