Gartner defines the service orchestration and automation platform (SOAP) market as encompassing solution suites that deliver capabilities enabling organizations to manage workloads, workflows, resource provisioning and data pipelines across their technology landscapes. SOAPs enable infrastructure and operations (I&O) leaders to design and implement business services. These platforms combine workflow orchestration, workload automation and resource provisioning across an organization’s hybrid digital infrastructure. Increasingly, they are central to an organization’s ability to deploy workloads and to optimize deployments as a part of cost and availability initiatives. SOAPs expand the role of traditional workload automation by adapting to use cases that deliver and extend into data pipelines, cloud-native infrastructures and application architectures. These tools complement and integrate with DevOps toolchains to provide customer-focused agility, cost savings, operational efficiency and process standardization.
"Robust and Work-Life changing; It's like having 2 employees"
OpCon has been absolutely pivotal in automating almost any task we throw at it. It's ability create complex workflows and ability to reliably perform detailed tasks created a very large amount of time for our IT staff to perform other work. We have heavily leveraged it's ability to call batch scripts, access SFTP, monitor email accounts and perform specific actions based on a filtering of incoming emails to trigger events, fire SQL stored procedures, and automate the movement of files from one share to another. This is only a small list of the things that OpCon allows us to do, all unattended, on a reoccurring schedule of our choosing. As you can imagine, with a solution this capable, it can become quite confusing, and OpCon's support department is excellent in helping you implement your dream automation scenarios. If you can think it up, they will help try and find a way to make it happen. We have often requested additional functionality and, found it implemented only a few development cycles later. We also leverage their seamless ability to integrate into our core software platform, although due to the propriety of our vendor, they have few competitors in this area. That being said, OpCon performs more than admirably, and, is almost always not the cause of any issues that arise.
