Six Characteristics of an Effective Solution
Most organizations have automated batch process with workload automation, but they are still managing file transfer separately.

Workload Automation Challenges and Opportunities
Enterprise IT workload environments are becoming more complex, dynamic, and unpredictable. Traditional static batch processing workloads are being run side by side with dynamic business critical composite applications and process flows that can have highly variable resource consumption requirements and peak hours. Organizations are also aggressively implementing private and hybrid cloud strategies that rely heavily on virtualization, self-serve workload management, and automated orchestration technologies. This Executive Brief discusses IDC's perspective on how enterprise workload management requirements are changing and highlights the ways that workload automation solutions can address these emerging requirements
