Broadcom Automic Automation

Automic Automation is a unified workload automation platform that orchestrates business and IT processes from mainframe to microservices. Trusted by Fortune 100 organizations for over 25 years, it eliminates scheduling silos and provides a single control point for workloads across your entire technology stack.

Best for

  • Enterprises running complex cross-platform workloads (mainframe, cloud, ERP)
  • Organizations automating SAP, Oracle, and data pipeline processes
  • IT teams replacing multiple legacy schedulers with a unified platform
  • Teams adopting automation-as-code and DevOps practices

The Workload Automation Problem Automic Solves

Most enterprises run dozens of scheduling tools across mainframe, distributed, cloud, and SaaS environments. Each tool operates in isolation, creating blind spots, manual handoffs, and fragile dependencies that break when business processes span multiple platforms.

Scheduling silos

Scheduling Silos

Organizations typically manage separate schedulers for mainframe, Windows, Linux, cloud, and ERP systems. Each tool has its own interface, alert system, and team responsible for it.

Automic Automation replaces fragmented scheduling with a single platform that orchestrates workloads across every environment from one console.

Manual handoffs

Manual Handoffs

When a business process spans SAP, a data warehouse, and a cloud application, teams rely on manual handoffs, email notifications, and custom scripts to bridge the gaps.

Automic orchestrates end-to-end workflows with event-driven triggers and dependency management, eliminating manual intervention between systems.

Lack of visibility

Lack of Visibility

When a critical batch job fails at 2 AM, teams spend hours tracing dependencies across multiple tools to find the root cause and determine the downstream impact.

Automic provides a unified view of all workloads, predictive SLA management, and automated remediation to resolve issues before they affect business operations.

Core Capabilities

Workload orchestration

Workload Orchestration

Orchestrate business and IT processes across mainframe, distributed, cloud-native, and SaaS environments from a single platform.

Event-driven triggers, dependency management, and SLA monitoring replace time-based scheduling and manual handoffs.

ERP automation

ERP Automation (SAP + Oracle)

Native automation for SAP environments including SAP Cloud and RISE for SAP. Orchestrate Oracle Cloud and on-premises Oracle workloads alongside other business processes.

Manage cross-application dependencies between ERP jobs and downstream systems without custom scripting.

Data pipeline orchestration

Data Pipeline Orchestration

Orchestrate data pipelines across ETL tools, cloud data platforms, and analytics systems. Coordinate data movement from source to insight with dependency awareness.

Replace fragile cron jobs and custom scripts with governed, auditable data pipeline workflows.

Automated remediation

Automated Remediation

Define remediation workflows that execute automatically when jobs fail or SLAs are at risk. Reduce mean time to resolution without waiting for manual intervention.

Predictive SLA management identifies potential breaches before they occur, giving teams time to act proactively.

Managed file transfer

Managed File Transfer

Secure, governed file transfers integrated directly into automation workflows. Transfer files between on-premises, cloud, and partner systems with encryption and audit trails.

Eliminate standalone MFT tools by embedding file transfer into your orchestration platform.

Automation as code

Automation-as-Code

Define, version, and manage automation workflows as code. Integrate with CI/CD pipelines, Git repositories, and DevOps toolchains.

Enable development and operations teams to collaborate on automation using familiar tools and workflows.

When Organizations Choose Automic Automation

Consolidating Multiple Scheduling Tools

Large enterprises often run five or more scheduling tools across mainframe, Windows, Linux, cloud, and ERP environments. Each tool requires its own expertise, maintenance, and licensing.

Automic Automation replaces multiple schedulers with a single orchestration platform. Organizations gain unified visibility, centralized governance, and reduced operational overhead.

  • Single platform for mainframe, distributed, cloud, and SaaS workloads
  • Unified monitoring and alerting across all environments
  • Centralized governance and audit trails
  • Reduced licensing costs from tool consolidation

Automating SAP and Oracle Workflows

ERP processes rarely exist in isolation. A SAP batch run may depend on upstream data feeds, trigger downstream reporting, and need to coordinate with Oracle financials.

Automic provides native SAP and Oracle automation that orchestrates cross-application workflows. It supports SAP Cloud, RISE for SAP, Oracle Cloud, and on-premises ERP environments.

  • Native SAP automation including SAP Cloud and RISE for SAP
  • Oracle Cloud and on-premises Oracle orchestration
  • Cross-application dependency management
  • End-to-end visibility from ERP to downstream systems
