Today, provisioning and updating software systems is more challenging than ever.

Software is increasingly diverse, change is accelerating, and the volume of systems is skyrocketing—particularly as virtualization and cloud computing take hold.

For many IT organizations:

• Provisioning a new system takes weeks or months
• Change is avoided because updates and patches cause outages
• Troubleshooting systems and reversing changes is manual and time consuming

Of course, adding resources is no longer an option.

The only real answer is automation—not simply using custom scripts to automate manual tasks, but using intelligent automation to make release management and change processes predictable and scalable.
