Ensuring consistent outcomes across all the IT activities within large SAP infrastructures is not guaranteed. Different IT professionals, even the same person, often interpret the exact instructions differently. This is exaggerated when a mix of internal resources and outsourced specialist services providers performs the activities. 

Automation ensures the same tasks are completed the same way every time, a consistent outcome everyone can rely on.

Automation benefits

However, a consistent outcome is just one of the benefits of IT automation. Other outcomes such as increased efficiency, improved accuracy, reduced costs and scalability are some of the additional benefits available.

Increased efficiency:

 IT automation can significantly increase efficiency by automating routine and repetitive tasks that would otherwise require specialist IT professionals.  

This frees up valuable time and resources than can be allocated to other tasks, allowing professionals to focus on more critical and complex tasks that require human input.

Improved accuracy:

Automation reduces the risk of human error, which can have significant consequences in IT operations. Automated systems are programmed to perform tasks accurately, eliminating the possibility of mistakes that could cause system failures or security breaches.

This ensures that IT operations run smoothly and reliably.

Reduced costs:

Automation reduces the need for manual effort, which can result in significant cost savings for IT managers. By automating routine tasks, IT managers can reduce costs, improve productivity, and optimize resource utilisation.

Consistent outcomes:

Automation ensures that tasks are performed consistently, regardless of who performs them. This helps maintain a high quality level in IT operations and reduces the risk of errors or discrepancies caused by differences in human performance.

This can help to minimize downtime and reduce the risk of costly errors, resulting in further cost savings for businesses.

Scalability:

Automation can help scale IT operations rapidly and efficiently. Automated systems can handle large volumes of work, making it easier to manage and process data, applications, and services across multiple platforms and locations. This makes it easier for businesses to expand their operations and adapt to changing market conditions without adding significant overhead costs.

Final word

Automating IT activities within large SAP infrastructures can help achieve consistent outcomes; maintaining a high level of quality in IT operations reduces the risk of costly errors caused by different interpretations of IT processes or approaches.
