Key Challenges
in Cloud Orchestration

Fragmented Cloud & On-Premises Environments

Managing diverse IT landscapes, including mainframes, private data centers, and multiple public clouds, creates operational silos and complex data flows. This fragmentation leads to inefficient resource utilization, increased manual effort, and a lack of holistic visibility across critical business processes. The absence of a unified view prevents proactive problem-solving and complicates strategic IT planning.

Compliance Gaps & Data Integrity Concerns

Stringent regulatory requirements demand auditable processes and robust data governance across the entire hybrid IT estate. Fragmented tools and disparate logging mechanisms make it challenging to maintain consistent security protocols, generate tamper-proof audit trails, and prove least-privilege access. This exposes enterprises to significant compliance risks, potential penalties, and reputational damage, especially in regions with strict data residency laws.

Unpredictable Cloud Costs & Resource Allocation

Without precise control, fluctuating resource usage across multiple cloud providers results in unpredictable service costs and significant budget overruns. Native cloud tools often lack cross-platform management capabilities and dynamic resource optimization, making it difficult to prevent VM sprawl or ensure resources are provisioned only when needed. This results in wasted expenditure and hinders cost-effective cloud adoption.

Skills Shortages & Legacy Limitations

The ongoing retirement of mainframe experts and the rapid evolution of cloud technologies create critical skills gaps within IT teams. Traditional legacy scheduling solutions often fail to meet modern data-driven requirements or integrate effectively with new cloud services, forcing reliance on manual scripting or siloed vendor-specific tools. This impedes digital transformation, increases operational risk, and makes it difficult to future-proof IT infrastructure.

Our Solution
for Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Operations

ANOW! Automate bridges the mainframe-cloud chasm, providing a comprehensive Service Orchestration and Automation Platform (SOAP) that unifies your hybrid IT landscape, mitigates risk, and drives operational efficiency.

Cloud-Agnostic Orchestration

ANOW! Automate provides a unified command center for orchestrating workloads across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and on-premises infrastructure, including mainframes. With over 500 native connectors and an 'Infinite Integrations' capability, it seamlessly connects disparate systems, from ERP to ETL tools. This ensures end-to-end process visibility and control, eliminating operational silos and integrating legacy systems without costly rip-and-replace.

Intelligent Resource Optimization

Our platform dynamically controls compute instances based on demand, using event-driven mechanisms and contextual intelligence to deploy resources precisely. This capability, demonstrated by customers saving up to 50% on cloud computing expenses by optimizing VM usage, prevents resource sprawl and ensures cost efficiency. It moves beyond time-based batch automation to real-time, event-based resource allocation, ensuring you use the cloud only when needed.

Automated Compliance & Auditing

ANOW! Automate ensures enterprise-grade security and compliance through built-in governance, detailed audit logs, and disaster recovery configurations that meet standards such as GDPR, ISO 27001, and SOC 2. The platform generates tamper-proof audit trails, enabling auditable compliance at the push of a button and reducing audit preparation time from weeks to hours. It provides continuous monitoring and enforcement of standards, supporting the '4 eyes principle'.

Future-Proof Hybrid IT Management

Designed with a cloud-native architecture based on microservices, ANOW! Automate offers flexibility, resilience, and seamless scalability across your entire hybrid IT environment. It supports a low-code/no-code approach for workflow creation, empowering both IT and business users while addressing skills gaps. This ensures reliable compatibility, data integrity, and operational excellence, protecting existing mainframe investments and enabling phased modernization.
