IDC & IBM Automation Festival

Automation Is Everywhere – What’s Your Strategy?

In Association with
Overview
Over 50% of European organisations are using automation technology today, and increasingly they are applying automation across multiple aspects of both IT operations and business operations – to improve agility, cost, productivity, customer satisfaction and increasingly, sustainability. However with the popularity of concepts like AIOps, application observability, and CloudOps; and technologies like RPA, workflow automation, integration platforms, process mining and more, organisations are constantly at risk of pursuing fragmented and complex initiatives with “islands of automation” that are difficult to scale.

With almost a third (31%) of organisations struggling to build enough skilled resources to meet automation demand, and 59% of organisations seeking to consolidate and simplify their automation vendor relationships, building a strategic approach to automation has never been more important.

Come to the Automation Festival, hosted by IBM and IDC, to:
- Understand how automation is changing industries
- Get inspired about new possibilities
- See the value of a strategic approach to automation.
