Run Book Automation

Abbreviated as RBA, run book automation refers to technologies used to achieve operational IT efficiency by streamlining run book

procedures through automating many of the daily manual tasks. RBA helps organizations by reducing manual tasks which are time

consuming and also prone to human-error issues, provides a more efficient workflow through automation, and reduces operational costs

while still meeting IT service levels and compliance

IT Process Automation

IT process automation (ITPA), also known as run book automation (RBA), is the ability to orchestrate and integrate tools, people and

processes through workflow.
