Holistic vision of Automation

Abstract:

Automation should never be seen as just another technical project. It’s far more than that—it’s a critical enabler of success for any modern digital business.

However, in order to truly drive business value, in order to help our organization be successful, our automation should not be limited by traditional IT domain barriers. After all, our business users are generally not interested in a VM or a network zone, they are interested in the ability to successfully and effectively deploy and run the applications that power their business.

This requires a holistic vision of automation, and an automation strategy that is designed to cross those traditional IT domain barriers.

During this keynote presentation, I will discuss holistic automation, and how holistic automation ties into building business value. And baking cake. Because everybody likes cake.
