IT process automation tool FAQs

What is process automation in IT?

Process automation in IT refers to the use of technology to complete repetitive, rule-based tasks without human intervention. It is designed to streamline workflows, improve efficiency and reduce the potential for human error in IT environments. Automation can span from simple tasks, like sending notifications, to complex processes, like data integration across systems.

At its core, process automation in IT enhances productivity and operational resilience by allowing teams to focus on strategic work rather than time-consuming manual activities. Examples include automated software deployments, scheduled backups or monitoring and responding to system health metrics.

Modern automation technologies, such as RunMyJobs by Redwood, are considered cloud-native IT process automation (ITPA) solutions.

What is a process automation tool?

A process automation tool is software designed to manage, execute and monitor automated processes across IT systems and business functions. These tools often offer features such as visual workflow designers, integrations with various enterprise applications and advanced capabilities for orchestrating tasks across different environments. They are crucial for executing and overseeing automated workflows, ensuring consistent execution and helping businesses scale their automation efforts.

Popular examples include workflow automation software and Service Orchestration and Automation Platforms (SOAPs), which enable end-to-end automation across complex systems.
