Unleashing the Power of Automation with iPaaS

Technology is the driving force that keeps businesses running smoothly. In recent years, one such technology that has gained significant traction within IT departments is Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS).

Integration and automation tools like iPaaS enable IT departments to quickly build integrations and automations that help to free up time and automate repetitive tasks that can drain IT resources and morale.

The Significance of Automation

Automation is no longer a luxury but a necessity for businesses to stay competitive.

A recent study from InformationWeek and TeamDynamix found:

  • 58% of organizations say their IT team spends more than five hours per week (six-and-a-half work weeks annually) fulfilling repetitive requests from the business.
  • 90% of respondents say that manual and repetitive IT tasks contribute to low morale and attrition in their organizations.
  • 45% of IT teams spend more than five hours per week writing scripts for workflow and automation.

As the study shows, across industries highly skilled IT workers spend much of their time on repetitive, mundane tasks to either service their customers, or to tie together the growing ecosystem of apps and cloud services procured by their organization to support the business.

The data shows that 58 percent of organizations say their IT team spends more than five hours per week on repetitive requests from business stakeholders, and more than one in five say they are averaging 10 or more hours per week on these tasks.

These requests include things like onboarding new employees, name changes, department changes and provisioning software.

And while these tasks are prime candidates for automation – the reality is that 40 percent of those surveyed report that 25 percent or more of these tasks must be done manually for one reason or another.

A quick calculation shows that an IT worker (or team) who spends 10 hours a week on these manual tasks wastes more than one financial quarter every year on things like resetting passwords for people.

Not only is this draining corporate resources, but it can be draining on the morale of IT employees who often join a company seeking to innovate and problem solve – not get bogged down with technical grunt work.

In fact, the survey found that 90 percent of respondents felt these types of repetitive manual IT tasks directly contributed to low morale and attrition within their IT organizations.

Automation using iPaaS frees up employees from repetitive and mundane tasks, enabling them to focus on high-value projects that require human ingenuity and creativity. When you automate IT tasks, you're not just saving time - you're enhancing your business operations.
