About the Automic System

The Automic system facilitates building even the most complex automated workflows across IT business units and departments for comprehensive business process automation. The platform allows you to orchestrate processes, manage big data, and integrate cloud technologies, as well as deploy infrastructures and implement new or existing applications within them.

Orchestrate on-premise, cloud and hybrid processes within one single business workflow using REST and SOAP based web services.

Use templates and actions to build workflows on any scale and share them with your team or across departments. Customize and adapt workflows, add new tasks to workflows and link the tasks to predecessors or successors using our graphical interface. You also can schedule workflows based on time, calendar, or interval. Create custom calendars and patterns to suit the most complex of execution windows. Optionally you can trigger workflows based on the occurrence of any event, such as self-service request, file arrival, console or database event, or system workload breaching a threshold.
