In this podcast, expert Jasmine Noel of Ptak Noel & Associates explains IT automation's relationship to the sources of provisioning and change activities and why the "write a script" approach no longer works. You will learn how to leverage process automation to increase productivity, improve business agility, and lower compliance costs.

Noel, who has 10 years experience as analyst and researcher in the systems management space, offers tips on how to design an IT process automation approach that is:

• Flexible (eliminates need to manually create a new deployment script for every golden image and every golden image updates and patches)
• Dynamic (automates interaction with the different sources of provisioning/change activities)
• Intelligent (helps administrators make better decisions when coordinating between the multiple demands)
