Broadcom Automation Analytics & Intelligence

Automation Analytics & Intelligence (AAI) is the only platform that delivers a single-pane-of-glass SLA view across multiple workload automation vendors. Turn workload data into predictive business insights — across Automic, AutoSys, CA-7, ESP, Control-M, IWS, and Tidal — from one console.

Best for

  • IT operations teams managing workloads across multiple automation platforms
  • Organizations needing cross-vendor SLA visibility and predictive analytics
  • Enterprises running mixed scheduler environments (mainframe and distributed)
  • Teams planning digital transformation of batch and workload automation

The Workload Visibility Problem AAI Solves

Most enterprises run multiple workload automation platforms from different vendors. Each scheduler has its own monitoring tools, its own SLA tracking, and its own reporting — creating blind spots where cross-platform dependencies fail silently. AAI is the only solution that unifies this view.

Cross-platform visibility

Siloed Scheduler Visibility

When workloads span AutoSys, Control-M, and mainframe schedulers, no single tool shows the end-to-end picture. Operations teams piece together SLA status from multiple consoles and spreadsheets.

AAI aggregates real-time data from every supported platform into a single analytics view — giving operations teams cross-vendor visibility they cannot get anywhere else.

Predictive SLA management

Reactive SLA Management

Traditional monitoring only tells you when an SLA has already been missed. By the time a breach is detected, business processes are already impacted and recovery options are limited.

AAI uses predictive analytics to forecast SLA outcomes before they happen. Operations teams get early warnings and can intervene proactively — turning reactive firefighting into planned action.

Change control risk

Risky Change Management

Schedule changes in complex multi-platform environments are high-risk. A timing change in one scheduler can cascade across dependent workloads in others, and the impact is invisible until production breaks.

AAI lets teams simulate changes before deploying to production. Model the impact of new workloads, schedule adjustments, or infrastructure changes across the entire automation landscape.

Core Capabilities of Automation Analytics & Intelligence

Cross-platform visibility

Cross-Platform / Cross-Vendor Visibility

Real-time aggregation of workload data across Automic Automation, AutoSys, CA-7, ESP, Control-M z/d, IWS z/d, and Tidal Workload Automation.

No other product on the market provides this level of multi-vendor, multi-platform visibility from a single console.

Dynamic SLA management

Dynamic SLA Management

Define, track, and manage SLAs that span multiple automation platforms. AAI correlates workload dependencies across schedulers so SLA tracking reflects the actual business process — not just individual job status.

Real-time dashboards show SLA health at the business-service level, not just the scheduler level.

Predictive analytics

Enhanced Workload Analytics

Predictive models analyze historical and real-time workload data to forecast SLA outcomes. Operations teams receive early warnings about potential breaches with enough lead time to take corrective action.

Understand trends, identify bottlenecks, and optimize workload schedules based on data — not guesswork.

Change simulation

Improved Change Control

Simulate the impact of schedule changes, new workloads, or infrastructure modifications before they reach production. See how changes in one platform affect dependent workloads in others.

Reduces change-related incidents in complex multi-vendor automation environments.

Business monitoring

Business-Level Monitoring

View workload automation from a line-of-business perspective rather than a scheduler perspective. AAI maps technical job chains to business processes so stakeholders see what matters to them.

Bridge the gap between IT operations and business outcomes with reporting that non-technical stakeholders can understand.

Dynamic critical path

Dynamic Critical Path Discovery

Automatically identifies the critical path across multi-platform workload chains. As conditions change — delays, resource contention, failures — the critical path is recalculated in real time.

Operations teams always know which jobs are most at risk of impacting downstream SLAs, regardless of which scheduler runs them.

When Organizations Choose Automation Analytics & Intelligence

Unified Visibility Across Mixed Scheduler Estates

Large enterprises typically run three or more workload automation platforms acquired through mergers, departmental choices, or mainframe-to-distributed evolution. Each platform has its own monitoring — creating dangerous blind spots where cross-platform dependencies are invisible.

AAI connects to every supported scheduler and provides a single analytics layer. Operations teams see SLA status, workload health, and dependency chains across all platforms without switching between consoles.

  • Single-pane-of-glass across 7+ automation platforms
  • Real-time cross-vendor dependency tracking
  • Eliminates manual correlation between scheduler consoles
  • The only solution on the market with this breadth of coverage

Proactive SLA Governance with Predictive Analytics

Organizations with strict SLA commitments cannot afford to discover breaches after the fact. Financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing environments depend on batch processing completing on time — and the cost of late delivery can be measured in regulatory fines, missed market windows, or production shutdowns.

AAI forecasts SLA outcomes using predictive models built on historical and real-time data. Operations teams receive early warnings with enough lead time to reroute workloads, allocate resources, or escalate before business impact occurs.

  • Predictive SLA breach warnings before impact
  • Historical trend analysis for capacity planning
  • Dynamic critical path recalculation in real time
  • Business-level SLA reporting for stakeholders

Workload Automation Modernization and Digital Transformation

Many organizations are consolidating or modernizing their workload automation environments — migrating from legacy mainframe schedulers to distributed platforms, or consolidating multiple tools into a smaller set. These transitions are risky without visibility into cross-platform dependencies.

AAI provides the analytics foundation for transformation planning. Teams can map existing workload dependencies, simulate migration scenarios, and validate that SLAs will be maintained during and after transitions.

  • Map cross-platform workload dependencies before migration
  • Simulate changes and new schedules before production deployment
  • Monitor SLA health throughout the transformation process
  • Validate post-migration workload performance
