Published: Stonebranch 2022 Global State of IT Automation report

KUALA LUMPUR, March 18 -- Stonebranch, a leading provider of service orchestration and automation solutions, has published the inaugural Stonebranch 2022 Global State of IT Automation report.

Developed in partnership with IEEE Computer Society, the premier technical education organisation, this study collects the perspectives of automation-focused IT professionals worldwide.

Respondents, all from companies with over 1,000 employees, shared their views about automation and orchestration as it relates to cloud, data pipelines, IT operations, self-service enablement, and more, according to a statement.

“Stonebranch is proud to share this important report — the first of its kind in the IT automation industry. This research serves as a window into how the best and brightest industry practitioners plan to evolve their IT automation programs,” said Chief Executive Officer at Stonebranch, Giuseppe Damiani.

“Most importantly, the report illustrates a shift from IT automation to IT orchestration, which is driven by the continued growth of cloud, multi-cloud, and overall hybrid IT environments.”

The research indicates that orchestration is critical for successful hybrid IT environments, which have taken the lead for mid-size and large enterprises alike.

Nearly half (46 per cent) of respondents work in a hybrid IT environment comprising on-premises, private cloud, public cloud, and containerised microservices. This number far exceeds on-premises only (31 per cent) and cloud-only (23 per cent) environments.

Additional key findings in the report include Automation growth is driven by cloud adoption; Multi-cloud environments are the norm; Service orchestration and automation platforms (SOAP) have grown in popularity; and, Integration is key to orchestration.

The data in this report comes from a global online survey conducted by IEEE in January and February 2022. The survey generated 366 responses from IT professionals (primarily team leads, managers, and directors) involved in IT automation.
