IT automation FAQs

What does IT automation mean?

Automation in IT refers to the use of software to manage applications or IT tasks without human intervention. IT professionals can set up automated tasks to be triggered by IT or business events, or tasks can be scheduled to run at specific times.

IT automation is related to business process automation (BPA) but focuses on IT processes, data and infrastructure automation. It is a deeper level of automation than robotic process automation (RPA), which focuses on rule-based tasks and mimics human interactions. IT process automation can automate complex, mission-critical workflows.
