By John Moore – \u00a0<\/a>Process automation is a broad software category with\u00a0specific uses within IT departments<\/a>\u00a0and the wider enterprise.<\/p>\n

Different facets of the technology automate repetitive tasks, workflows and more complex processes. Product categories within the process automation umbrella include robotic process automation (RPA<\/a>),\u00a0business process automation<\/a>\u00a0and digital process automation (DPA<\/a>). Other products include workflow automation software and low-code\/no-code tools.<\/p>\n

For IT shops, process automation use cases generally fall into two categories:\u00a0IT automation<\/a>\u00a0and IT process automation. Traditionally, IT automation focuses on discrete, repetitive tasks such as server and storage provisioning. IT process automation typically targets multistep functions such as service management and\u00a0incident response<\/a>. The lines between the two areas are blurring, however, as vendors expand product offerings and add new features. For example, AI is adding autonomous decision-making capabilities to the process automation mix.<\/p>\n

The technology landscape might be complicated, but the goal for IT managers is straightforward: Improve their operational efficiency and extend those productivity benefits to in-house customers.<\/p>\n

1. User support<\/h3>\n

Service management, a core user support function, involves a variety of tasks, such as handling user requests, creating and managing support tickets, and guiding change management. Automation eases repetitive tasks along that spectrum of services while also speeding up time to resolution. Options here include IT service management (ITSM<\/a>) software, RPA offerings and low-code\/no-code platforms.\u00a0 Read On:<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
