Workload automation tools FAQs

What is a workload automation tool?

Workload automation tools automate business processes, eliminating the need for human intervention to schedule, run and manage repetitive tasks within a business process or transaction across different operating systems and computing environments. By automating these tasks, organizations can ensure that complex processes, such as data transfers, report generation, batch processing and more, execute accurately and on time. The evolved version of mainframe job scheduling tools, modern workload automation tools help reduce operational delays, minimize errors caused by manual processing and allow businesses to scale their operations more efficiently.

In addition to streamlining IT operations, workload automation tools can integrate with other business applications, creating a seamless flow across departments and systems. This type of automation centralizes control over automated tasks, providing IT teams with the ability to monitor, audit, and troubleshoot processes in real time. With workload automation in place, businesses can optimize resource provisioning, improve compliance and enhance service delivery, leading to higher efficiency and better alignment with organizational goals.

What is the difference between workflow automation and workload automation?

Both powerful solutions, robotic process automation (RPA) and workflow automation (WLA), have synergies and differences. RPA deploys software robots to automate repetitive tasks and data entry, reducing the scope of human error. RPA bots operate on rules-based approaches, streamlining specific tasks and interacting with user interfaces, applications and APIs, mimicking human tasks and enhancing efficiency.

On the other hand, WLA focuses on automating the flow of tasks within business processes, facilitating end-to-end optimization. This involves utilizing automation tools and technologies to streamline work activities, improve decision-making and minimize bottlenecks, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of business operations.

Read more about the difference between RPA vs WLA.

What is the difference between workload automation and process automation?

Workload automation and process automation both play vital roles in driving operational efficiency. Process automation is a broad category that refers to automating any recurring, rule-based tasks to improve accuracy and speed. These range from simple tasks, like automating data entry in a single application, to complex business processes, such as automating the customer billing cycle and data collection to invoice generation. Process automation serves specific functions within a department and may operate independently of other processes or systems.

Workload automation is more expansive and focuses on coordinating and automating multiple processes across systems and applications. It centralizes control over workflows across different environments, so it’s particularly suited for enterprises managing large-scale operations and complex interdependencies. Workload automation tools help manage end-to-end tasks and ensure that each component in a business process aligns with other automated processes to support business objectives. While process automation enhances efficiency within individual processes, workload automation orchestrates those processes enterprise-wide.
