Every second counts in today’s digital economy. Yet, many organizations still rely on outdated, manual infrastructure processes that slow teams down and limit business agility. According to IDC, businesses lose an average of $250,000 per hour of downtime, yet many of these costly interruptions are preventable with the right automation strategy.
IT infrastructure automation eliminates the bottlenecks of manual management, allowing organizations to scale faster, operate more reliably, and innovate without the drag of legacy processes.
Unlocking the Business Value of Automation
Automation can be one of the most effective tools for reducing bottlenecks. By automating the deployment, configuration, and management of IT environments, organizations free up teams to focus on delivering better digital experiences and driving revenue.
- Operational Gains You Can Measure – Automation can reduce process times by up to 70%, transforming how teams manage infrastructure at scale. From provisioning environments to deploying applications, patching, and updates, automated workflows complete tasks in minutes without the risk of human error.
- Consistent, Reliable Operations – Ensures infrastructure is deployed and managed the same way, every time with automation. By removing manual variability, organizations improve uptime, reduce misconfigurations, and strengthen business continuity.
- Scalable by Design – Scaling infrastructure used to require hands-on provisioning, testing, and tuning. Automation flips that model, allowing IT teams to instantly spin up resources across data centers and clouds using repeatable, code-defined templates (infrastructure as code). This keeps performance, security, and compliance intact, no matter how fast you grow.
- Real Cost Savings and Revenue Impact – Automation saves you time and money. Red Hat reports a 668% ROI over three years for organizations investing in automation, with an average $8.54 million in additional annual revenue. Faster recovery, fewer outages, and quicker time-to-market all add up to real financial gains.
What’s Holding You Back?
Despite the benefits, many organizations face barriers to adoption. Cost concerns, technical complexity, and organizational resistance are common.
- Traditional teams often cite fear of disrupting the status quo—reported by 31% as their top blocker.
- Growing teams point to skills shortages, with 33% saying they lack the expertise to scale automation.
- Advanced teams face legacy system limitations and continued talent gaps.
Moving past these barriers requires leadership alignment, skills investment, and a trusted partner to guide the journey.
