Introduction Globalization has flattened our world. In terms of
competition and commerce, the playing field has never
been more level. The web, workflow software, off-shoring
and supply chain has pushed business into a environment
of vague boundaries.
The old distinctions, geographical and otherwise, that
previously defined ways of doing business, are rapidly
loosing importance.
An expanding market place has given innovates a chance
to use there creativity to catchup profits.
The vehicle for IT’s future transformation is business service automation, which encompasses what is commonly referred to as process/ Run Book automation (RBA) and data center automation.
At the hub of this system is a federated Configuration Management Database (CMDB), which would act as a flexible data broker, providing accurate, comprehensive information for all of IT’s automated activities and strategic decisions.
Introduction Continues
The Supply Chain Automation Model The concept of Supply Chain Automation was first
used by Procter & Gamble in the US in 1980. Automation has been, and continues to be the key to
optimizing supply chain resources in domestic markets. Through automated inventory and logistics management, business have been able to shorten the chain, making it easier for them to function in constricted manufacturing or distribution environments.
IT can gain valuable advantages by automation the relationship between the Supplier (IT) and Customer (Business users) and by providing the technologies and services to meet the influx of the demand.

Why IT Needs Automation
Infrastructure Growth and Underutilization
Shortage of Skilled Labor
Pressure to Deliver Business Value
• Approx. 80% of IT work is devoted to maintenance and IT environments experience a 30% growth rate every year.
• Computer Servers are used at only 6% of their capacity on average, while data center facilities as a whole are used at 56% of peak performance.
Infrastructure Growth and Underutilization
Shortage of Skilled Labor
• Find out people with a balance of technical with business expertise is become even more critical for the closer relationship of IT with business.

• Fulfillment of revenue targets and improving share prices alongside management of IT service Quality & cost are becoming fast additional areas of assessment for the businesses.
So, its needed to minimize the operational complexities of technology to perform well in these newer areas.
Benefits of IT AutomationLower Labor Costs:• Automation technologies increase efficiency by
automating customary, labor intensive , and error prone tasks.
• By automating the data center, staffing requirements can be effectively reduced by as much as 50%.
More Consistent Service Levels:• Automation reduces the human error, estimated to be
the cause of 40% of service outages. • According to Independent consulting firm (EMA),
datacenter automation reduces MTTR (Main time to repair) for system problems by an average of more than 60%.
Improved Compliance:• It ensures legal and company compliance
objectives are always mate.
Reduced Risk :• Data security can be improved through
automated security audit detection and by automatically deploying security pages and updates.
High ROI :
According to expert prediction by 2012, automation technology will achieve the highest ROI.
Challenges in IT Automation
Limited Visibility
Product Integration
Lack of Flexibility
• IT Applications Often Function On Multiple Tiers, Touching Various Servers &, In Many Cases, Numerous Databases.
Challenges in IT Automation

Product Integration
Lack of Flexibility
• To accommodate The Gaps Between Technologies, Organizations Frequently Buy Additional Automation Tools Which Creates Complexities By Too Much Purchasing & Too Little Effort At Integration.

• Traditionally, Most Businesses Have Automated Their Processes Statically But They Need To Be Flexible To Adjust According To The Changing Business Needs.
Automated IT As automation becomes more prevalent, I.T. will focus on managing its
supply chain and more on creating an IT value chain . In this effort, CIOS
will invest more time and resources in initiating, and responding to
opportunities that generate business/ customer value.
Due to the proliferation of social media, consumers will no longer be at the
end of the supply chain.
Just as globalization has transformed the chain into multiple decision making
points so will end customers, partners and employees across all lines of
business intercede at multiple points in the process of delivering a product or
service.
Conclusion Using automation, IT operations can emulate the domestic supply chain’s cost.
A CMDB empowers IT executives to be proactive.
As I.T.’s data broker, a federated CMDB accesses the information needed to automate business
services as a whole, throughout their entire life cycle wherever this data resides and regardless of its
originating vendor.
In coming future to achieve, customer satisfaction, I.T. must have a flexible master CMDB. Its
information model must be easily changeable to adopt to new security requirements, regulatory
changes , asset configuration, capacity adjustments, CI relationship modifications and process
alteration.
This achievement will, in turn, transform the current I.T. landscape , making it modular , responsive
and self-managing.
Concluding to everything, at the end of the, CMDB will bring I.T. executives closer to the
consumer.
