Welcome to AutoMate
The Rapid Automation Development Platform for Complete Business Process Automation
AutoMate is the leading software for automation of front and back-office business processes. AutoMate is more than a simple job scheduler. It provides all the tools necessary to completely automate business processes, regardless of their complexity.
The traditional model of disorganized batch files, scripts and custom applications coupled with job schedulers is outdated. AutoMate's built-in triggers allow tasks to start as a result of a variety of events in addition to a time-based schedule. Tasks are developed via drag-and-drop without writing code. Simply drag together each action object in the sequence it should be executed. Decision capability, looping and other powerful flow control options are all built-in to AutoMate's powerful yet easy to use AML (Automation Markup Language) framework.
Benefits of Automation
The benefits of business process automation include the elimination of human error, dramatic increases in transaction speeds and consistent and repeatable performance of business processes.
In short, business processes can be performed faster and more accurately resulting in lower cost and increased business capability.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
AutoMate is the leading platform for business process automation because it goes far beyond the simple linking together of pre-existing batch files, scripts and custom applications. AutoMate "tasks" are assembled via drag-and-drop, without writing a single line of code. Task steps are displayed in plain English sentences that all team members can understand. This allows automated tasks to be developed rapidly and maintained easily, resulting in a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) than traditional automation methods.
AutoMate provides cost savings at each phase of the automation project lifecycle:
Develop
Drag-and-drop task building enables tasks to be constructed rapidly.
No programming code or writing batch files.
Deploy
Tasks can either be deployed in-place with AutoMate's powerful event-based
triggers or they can be deployed across the enterprise to other AutoMate
installations with only a few clicks.
Manage
AutoMate tasks are displayed in plain-English sentences such as "Run
the following application" and "Restart the Service", thus
eliminating the problem of code abandonment that can occur when the developer
of the solution leaves the company. Tasks can be organized
in hierarchical folders in one convenient location instead of being
spread throughout the organization.
Replace Code-Intensive Processes
AutoMate is the superior replacement for scripts, batch files, macros, or any other code intensive process. It's easy drag and drop interface allows rapid construction and automation of virtually any task that can be accomplished in Windows.
