IT organizations want to deliver greater business value by increasing productivity, delivering services faster, and remaining flexible to incorporate the latest innovations like cloud, containers, and configuration automation. Modern workloads, whether on bare metal, virtual machines, containers, or private or public clouds, are expected to be portable and scalable. They need a modern, secure platform to support those requirements.
Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is growing in popularity due to its ability to consolidate and simplify compute, storage, and network infrastructure for business-critical applications. As organizations contemplate HCI investments, many are looking to avoid proprietary lock-in—and traditional proprietary storage solutions.
Red Hat® Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Virtualization is an ideal solution for business-critical applications in virtualized environments, as well as for various tactical edge deployment scenarios. Built on the strengths of Red Hat Virtualization, Red Hat Gluster® Storage, and Red Hat Ansible® Automation, Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Virtualization simplifies planning and procurement, streamlines deployment and management, and provides a single life-cycle experience for virtual compute and virtual storage resources. Compute, storage, and management components are all open source, and organizations can choose among industry-standard hardware or implement validated configurations that best meet their workload needs.
IT is a critical partner for business transformation, but you can’t deliver transformation solely on traditional, proprietary infrastructure.
While you may be eager to adopt new technologies, many critical processes rely on existing systems. You need a solution that will modernize what you have for greater efficiency and accelerate your cloud-native and container future with greater agility.
How can you secure your apps and services without compromising your schedule? (Hint: It’s all in the automation.) Enterprises are using hybrid cloud technologies to enrich the user experience and power their digital transformation. But running applications in public clouds while managing the application data in private clouds makes for a unique set of security requirements. We discuss the challenges that DevOps teams face in hybrid environments and how those challenges can be overcome.

Organizations have a lot riding on the efficiency and effectiveness of their procure-to-pay processes. Disruptions to an organization’s ability to purchase or pay for materials, goods and services can negatively impact its supply chain, customers and financial standing. Yet, most organizations rely on manual or semi-automated procure-to-pay processes that cost too much, take too long, create too many errors, provide inadequate visibility and frustrate internal stakeholders and suppliers. A big part of the blame can be pinned on the top-down approach that most organizations have traditionally taken to automating business processes. Another contributor is the exploding volume of “dark data” – untapped structured and unstructured data from documents such as invoices, purchase orders and shipping documents. Robotic process automation (RPA) with cognitive automation makes it easier and more cost effective for procure-to-pay organizations to automate. The technology empowers business users with software robots (bots) that automate business processes, such as procure-to-pay, to achieve operational and strategic benefits.
This paper details the challenges with traditional approaches to business process automation, provides an overview of RPA and cognitive automation, and lays out the technology’s benefits in procure-to-pay.
Amidst all of explosive growth in the RPA space, what is keeping organizations from taking their RPA capabilities to the next level? AIIM believes that one answer lies in the unique challenges associated with integrating unstructured information into an RPA environment.
In this eBook, we explore the following questions:
RPA platforms represent a hyper growth market, with enterprises investing in new RPA platforms for process and task automation to achieve greater operating efficiency and agility, while allowing the human workforce to focus on more strategic and higher priority projects and tasks. Intelligent process automation (IPA) is in an early phase of its evolution and represents the next frontier for RPA vendors. This Ovum Decision Matrix (ODM) is a comprehensive evaluation to help enterprise IT and business leaders, including chief information officers (CIOs), enterprise and process architects, IT directors, line-of-business (LOB) leaders and process owners, and digital transformation leaders select an RPA platform that is well suited to their specific requirements.
With RPA, companies can automate a wide range of processes they wouldn’t have imagined possible before. These range from very rote tasks, such as cutting and pasting customer data from a CRM system into a back-office ERP system, all the way up to unattended software bots capable of intelligent decision-making based on pre-set logic.
What is clear is that RPA is at a tipping point. But will this growth continue? If so, on what path? What innovations lie ahead?
This e-book will provide Automation Anywhere’s insights about the future, with seven RPA predictions for 2019. These predictions relate to market growth, technology disruptions, platform enhancements and new use cases for RPA.
What cognitive automation is, why you need it, and how to do it right
Adding cognitive capabilities to robotic process automation (RPA) is the biggest trend in business process automation since, well, RPA.
In this eBook, you’ll learn how to succeed with cognitive automation by following six basic steps.
Is a Cisco Enterprise Agreement right for you? Take this 5-minute quiz to find out if this is an avenue worth further exploration.
Cisco is changing the way organizations procure and manage Cisco software through a new licensing model: the Cisco Enterprise Agreement (Cisco EA).
Choosing a Cisco EA provides simplicity, flexibility and cost savings. That's because it consolidates all your maintenance contracts and licenses in a single contract and offers license portability, upfront savings, on-demand deployment capabilities and more. You can also receive vouchers for services to optimize deployments and drive end-user adoption.
There are many benefits, so we've boiled it all down to give you the most important highlights.
What difference could a Cisco EA make to your business?
You maybe aware that Cisco has introduced a new solution to manage license agreements: the Cisco Enterprise Agreement (Cisco EA).
This simple agreement model offers a number of benefits for procuring and managing your Cisco software suite (network,collaboration and security):
