What is Workload Automation (WLA)?

Workload automation (WLA) is a technology that ensures your organization’s jobs are executing reliably and securely throughout your entire environment. Bring together jobs running on-premises, in the cloud, and even in multi-step workflows that integrate disparate systems and applications.
Benefits of Workload Automation
WLA helps your team streamline workloads across new and existing applications and platforms to:
- Free up time
- Save money
- Reduce risks
- Stay compliant
What is Job Scheduling?
Job scheduling software automates batch processes like end-of-day (EOD), scripts, cross-platform workflows, and more. With automated job scheduling, your enterprise can achieve seamless, unattended job execution that optimizes resources to run jobs in a sequence, at a specified time, or based on a trigger, allowing you to better define, manage, and monitor critical batch processes in one solution that orchestrates your entire schedule.
Why Use Enterprise Workload Automation and Job Scheduling Software Solutions

A centralized approach to job scheduling and workload automation is the key to efficiency across your entire organization. With centralization, batch processes that typically consume a costly mix of resources to run across separate environments can be managed from a single command center. This enables you to define, manage, and monitor critical processes, while reducing overhead and optimizing how your staff works as it delivers on requests and expectations.
