LOS ANGELES, CA—Network Automation, Inc., the leader in automation software, announces a groundbreaking platform that extends Business Process Automation to more people, in more places, on more networks and platforms than ever before.  AutoMate™ BPA Server 7, a major addition to the company’s AutoMate product line, introduces client/server architecture, multiple-machine automation capability, and a pioneering workflow-based visual design tool that makes automating complex business processes easy for technical and non-technical users alike.

“In the 21st century, an organization needs more than lists of isolated jobs that must be carried out.  Rather, it must develop and manage optimal business processes, which intelligently orchestrate multiple jobs involving an array of people and resources,” said Dustin Snell, founder and CEO of Network Automation.  “When a modern IT department automates operations, simple job-based automation is no longer sufficient due to its inherent isolation and disorganization.  AutoMate BPA Server is the first software to automate business processes as they are.  With BPA Server, resources and tasks are subservient to the business process itself, without arbitrary boundaries.”

AutoMate BPA Server allows organizations to design, automatically execute, and manage multiple-machine computing tasks according to workflows.  Its “no code” simplicity means that workflow objects such as events, conditions, tasks, and flow controls can be dragged-and-dropped using an intuitive interface that is well suited for collaboration between technical and business users.
