How to Bake Automation Into Your Culture | Research

Event Overview

Driving automation remains a top priority for IT and business leaders alike as they seek to increase efficiency, productivity and growth. But enterprise-wide automation relies heavily on momentum. If employees can't see how automation can make their work or life easier, they may view automation efforts as nothing more than change for change's sake. And one of the best ways to drive a culture of automation is establishing a formal governance structure. Join WWT automation experts Kevin Dana and Mark Wall, who will dig into the cultural changes that need to occur for organizations to achieve enterprise-wide automation at scale. Mark and Kevin will talk about practical ways organizations can automate for the benefit of multiple individuals and groups, and steps leaders can take to build a comprehensive governance board.

How to Optimize Automation ROI with Deep Observability | Research

You can't automate what you can't see. Therefore, investing in observability of your IT environments is critical for driving automation success. The problem is that business processes are supported by multiple IT teams and environments, and observability is not always prioritized in large-scale automation initiatives. Join WWT's Kevin Wald and Mike Cervasio, both of whom are automation experts, as they talk about how to gain observability in IT environments that in many cases are decades old. Kevin and Mike also touch on key metrics to track to make sure you're getting the most ROI on your automation investments and how observability can quickly lead to scalability.
