Itential Operations Manager Demo Overview

In the Itential Automation Platform, you have all the tools you need to scale the use of automation across your entire organization. With a variety of options for publishing and exposing automations to a wider audience of end users, you can ensure your automations drive as much value as possible, while still ensuring they are only accessible to users and applications that should have access.

Itential’s Operations Manager provides a unified view where you can manage automations and deliver them for self-service consumption. It allows Itential users to determine how automations are exposed to end users and monitor the execution of those automations to ensure they are running efficiently and correctly. You can define any number and combination of triggers for a given automation, including manual requests, event-driven triggers, schedules and intervals, and, most importantly, API calls. With API exposure, external platforms like ServiceNow and even CI/CD pipeline environments can make network requests and see Itential automations triggered with no manual input needed.

In this demo learn how to:

  • Create a new entry in Operations Manager to publish an automation workflow for wider consumption.
  • Define automation triggers based on the desired method(s) for users to consume an automation.
  • Customize permissions to ensure only secure groups of users can access automations without sacrificing flexibility.
