In a 2016 report, Gartner¹ estimated that 43% of business process automation users will convert to a cloud solution by 2020. The obvious reason to convert to process automation is to rid the

business of slow manually repetitive tasks that just add risk, complexity and inconsistencies. But, why consider the cloud?

For starters, you get fully supported automation that is not premise specific and can be used wherever and whenever.

Allowing you to respond to critical business events immediately and manage by exception.

Leading the way in cloud based process automation is Redwood’s RunMyJobs® (RMJ). It’s a secure, fully supported as a service automation platform designed to improve the consistency, accuracy and reliability of all your business and IT processes.

or infrastructure costs, but rather focus on reducing the cost of doing business.

And, because it’s a subscription service with pay per use pricing, there are no restrictions on the number of systems that

can be connected and managed. From a business perspective, this gives you the freedom to extend your process automation to any system or platform across your business landscape, for true end-to-end enterprise automation. And all without having to worry about licensing implications.

It’s proven Redwood technology that’s been used by thousands of customers over the last 20 years.

INTELLIGENT AUTOMATION AT YOUR SERVICE

DISCOVER WHY RUNMYJOBS® IS THE NEW HORIZON IN PROCESS AUTOMATION

RunMyJobs makes a massive difference to us, not having to worry about hardware, infrastructure or maintenance costs. And with RunMyJobs there are no issues with security.

—Andrew Oldham, Supporter Data Manager, RSPB“

According to a recent survey², 49% of executive-level managers think cloud computing will transform their business, yet many businesses have been slow to adopt

the cloud due to various concerns and perceptions.

But why? Well arguably the biggest concern is about security, however not with RMJ. Its architecture is designed to keep your data safe at all times. The service

simply orchestrates your processes from the cloud, whilst your company data remains within your enterprise. Only the process definitions are held in the cloud.

And RMJ provides an overview of all users, including their access level to each environment and the type of user they are. Plus, the system tracks and logs all user activity for added protection and peace of mind.

Redwood’s Secure Gateway provides a single, robust and secure channel for all application connections that are not platform agent dependent. A designated agent acts as the active gateway at start-up, which is secured and encrypted using military grade cryptography standards (TLS v1.2, AES-256), capable of detecting ‘Man in the Middle’ attacks.

In the unlikely event that the designated Secure Gateway host fails, an agent running on another system will automatically take over, ensuring the continuity of your processes.

KEEP YOUR DATA JUST THAT, YOURS

1. Browser authorization – RMJ can’t be accessed from an unknown browser on an unknown desktop.

2. Single Sign-On Authentication – RMJ can authenticate against an external security provider and allow you to enforce your own

Another part of the Tech Insights, IDG Enterprise Cloud Computing research survey into the reasons why enterprises are frightened of the cloud, highlighted that loss of control was a

major stumbling block. Not a problem with RMJ. Once logged in, users have access to features visible based on

the type of user. This functionality allows only authorized users to create other users, edit environment settings and view payment information.

THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING...

The third of the top five reasons in the IDG Enterprise Cloud Computing research survey, as to why many business have been slow to adopt the cloud, centres on performance and

uptime. Both have a direct effect on the bottom line, and corporates are still worried about this aspect.

With RMJ that’s just not a concern. You benefit from 99.9% service uptime, thanks to the combination of scalable, resilient infrastructure and expert support services. The RMJ environment uses multiple virtual machines and storage which runs in a cloud environment; this is built for high availability. There is no dependence on specific server hardware or physical storage components, and there is no single point of failure.

To ensure maximum uptime, Redwood monitors the service around the clock to ¬ensure that customers have uninterrupted availability. During one customer test, we ran on average between 55,000 and 65,000 activities per day, reaching a total of 1.44 million in a month. RMJ also monitors customers’ individual connections. If a connected managed system is shut down, an alert is automatically raised and sent to a designated recipient at the customer.

To further ensure maximum uptime, all customer environments are backed up on a regular basis as part of Redwood’s overall environment backup policy. Should the need arise; the RMJ operations team can recover an entire customer environment to one of these backup points.
