What is IBM Workload Automation?

IBM Workload Automation integrates IT, operational and business workflows to orchestrate unattended and event-driven processes in hybrid environments. Anyone searching for IBM Workload Scheduler should use this current name; IBM Workload Scheduler 10.1.x and 10.2.x remain the underlying supported product versions, but current marketing runs under the Workload Automation name.

The platform provides a single point of control with an intuitive interface for modelling, managing and monitoring workloads, backed by graphical views, embedded analytics and customisable dashboards. Enterprise observability has been extended through tools like Instana for better visibility into automated processes. Unusually for an IBM enterprise product, a free trial is offered directly, alongside a downloadable Gartner Magic Quadrant report.
