The demands on modern IT infrastructures keep increasing—but personnel and financial resources simply can’t keep pace.

IT managers are facing growing complexity and soaring security requirements along with the pressure to quickly and reliably implement new business requirements.


Many companies recognise that automation is key to a structured approach to meeting these developments head on. But how can you successfully initiate infrastructure automation without compromising operational stability and reliability?

 

In this online event, you’ll get a well-rounded guide to starting out with infrastructure automation.

We’ll show you tried and true steps—from analysing existing processes and system landscapes to defining realistic target images and designing suitable operating models. You’ll learn how companies can prepare for automation, and what it really comes down to when setting up responsibilities, processes, and systems to create a sustainable basis for a successful and sustainable automation strategy.
