What does observability look like in practice? Magnus Bache and Zaher Albaroudi present a hands-on showcase of ANOW! Observe, the observability solution from Beta Systems.
As orchestration spans mainframes, cloud, data pipelines, and AI workflows, fragmented telemetry leaves teams and AI systems without a shared operational picture. Standardized Workflow-aware Observability solves this by unifying workflow telemetry, logs, and SLA status through a common OpenTelemetry-based model, giving every role tailored insight from one consistent data foundation. In this article, we expand on the importance of standardized workflow-aware observability and present Beta Systems' ANOW platform as a solution to this challenge.

If your data engineers are still manually kicking off jobs, chasing failed transfers, or writing custom scripts to keep pipelines running, you're spending engineering hours on problems automation already solved. Data pipeline automation is the use of scheduled or event-driven workflows to move, transform, and monitor data between systems without manual intervention. It's quickly becoming a baseline expectation rather than a competitive edge. In this article, we break down what data pipeline automation actually involves, which parts of the pipeline it covers, how to implement it step by step, and which platforms enterprise teams are evaluating in 2026.
This Enterprise Associates Management (EMA) research reveals why orchestration, observability, and AI are converging – and how enterprises can build an enterprise control plane to govern outcomes across increasingly federated automation environments.

Automation has become the operational backbone of modern enterprises. It moves data, triggers business processes, supports overnight batch windows, connects mainframe and cloud workloads, and keeps service delivery moving across increasingly hybrid IT environments. This level of complexity requires uncompromised visibility and observability. But most observability tools were not built to understand automation.
Workload automation and IT operations are at the heart of how modern businesses run. From handling routine batch jobs to orchestrating complex processes across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments – automation is no longer a nice-to-have. It’s essential. But getting it right? That’s where things get tricky. The promise of automation is straightforward: fewer manual tasks, more efficiency, and better control over your operations. But in reality, many organizations quickly run into serious challenges with workload automation. So, let’s break them down and take a closer look at the different IT operations management issues many companies face today.
As we move further into Industry 4.0, organizations are striving for greater efficiency, visibility, and reliability. This is especially true for enterprises, which handle vast amounts of data on a daily basis. The competition won’t be waiting – you’ll either move forward or fall behind. One way to avoid falling behind and improve overall efficiency is to automate data pipelines. Not only does it improve and accelerate data flow, but it also supports your analytics, helping you draw more accurate conclusions and make more precise predictions and forecasts. In this article, we will explore what data pipeline automation is, how to automate your data pipelines, and the benefits it brings to your organization.
Watch now on demand and discover how Automation Observability turns operational data into real business insight. In this webinar, you will learn how to move beyond traditional monitoring and gain full, contextual visibility into your automation landscape – so you don’t just know that something failed, but also why it matters and what to do next.
Enterprise automation environments are growing faster than ever – more jobs, more dependencies, more integrations, more critical business impact. Yet when something fails, teams still jump between tools, logs, tickets, and dashboards trying to understand what actually happened. Automation has scaled. Operational transparency has not.
Join Dan Twing, leading analyst and author of EMA’s Radar Report on Workload Automation and Orchestration, to explore how automation teams can remain stable while everything around them accelerates.
With cloud automation, you can improve the scalability of your IT infrastructure, boost governance efficiency, and orchestrate automated tasks.
