Beta Systems Launches ANOW! Observe: A New Era in Observability for any WLA Solution
Berlin, April 2, 2025 – Beta Systems has expanded its product offerings with the launch of ANOW! Observe, a turnkey observability platform designed to enrich monitoring and analytics. In the first use case, it can be applied to any Workload Automation (WLA) and Service Orchestration and Automation Platforms (SOAP) solution. The new product is available as stand-alone and alongside ANOW! Automate, a comprehensive cloud-native and OpenTelemetry-native solution that integrates workload automation, orchestration, observability, and AI-driven insights into unified software bundle.
The key capabilities of ANOW! Observe include:
Complete transparency: provides real-time monitoring of processes, infrastructure, and applications, ensuring full visibility across the IT landscape.
Tamper-proof log archiving: offers compliance and governance-ready archiving, ensuring data integrity and security.
Seamless integration: perfectly aligns with existing WLA tools, facilitating smooth integration into current IT environments.
Interactive dashboards: simplifies complex data through intuitive visualizations, making it easier to understand and act upon.
Predictive analytics: identifies trends and potential risks early, allowing for proactive management before issues become critical.
Data refinement and optimization: prepares historical and real-time data for precise decision-making, enhancing operational efficiency.
The development of ANOW! Observe was carried out in a pilot program with selected clients, with an exclusive preview showcased at the HOT conference in Munich in July 2024. Initial customer feedback has confirmed the market's need for a solution that transcends conventional approaches, offering a unique blend of WLA, comprehensive observability, and advanced AIOps.
ANOW! Observe, in conjunction with ANOW! Automate, is now part of the ANOW! Suite, which provides complete visibility and automation across the entire IT landscape while reducing operational complexity through a modern, web-based interface. All components of the ANOW! Suite are built on a microservices architecture with Active-Active High Availability, ensuring scalability according to business needs. The suite is available both on-premise and as a flexible Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, tailored for today's dynamic enterprise environments.
Dan Twing, the seasoned analyst and expert in the WLA field, President and Chief Operating Officer of Enterprise Management Associates, commented: “Observability is a mission-critical requirement for modern IT operations. On its own, it provides vital insight—but when paired with workload automation and orchestration, it empowers these systems to more effectively manage dynamic environments and consistently deliver key business outcomes. The growing adoption of OpenTelemetry reflects the need for open, granular visibility, and the ANOW! Suite is the first solution we’ve seen that so tightly integrates observability with SOAP to meet that need.”
“With Beta Systems’ year-long experience—and believe me, we've seen everything in workload automation—we've crafted a turnkey observability solution that's tailor-made for any WLA and SOAP solution. ANOW! Observe isn't just another tool; it truly lifts these platforms, giving you data analytics and visualizations that finally deliver actionable insights. And together with ANOW! Automate, I promise you, your enterprise gains full control over its IT environment. We're talking minimized risks, clear efficiency gains, and a real boost for your long-term competitiveness”, explained Mirko Minnich, Beta Systems’ CTO and Board Member.
Full-stack observability for Workload Automation and SOAP is now available initially as Control-M edition with audit-proof Archiving. Stay tuned to learn more about ANOW! Observe.
