    Overview

    As an IT administrator, you probably perform a lot of tasks and procedures to keep your computing environment healthy. You may have automated individual tasks, but typically, not the whole process. With System Center - Orchestrator you tie disparate tasks and procedures together using a graphical user interface Runbook Designer to create reliable, flexible, and efficient end-to-end solutions in your IT environment.

    OpenText Operations Orchestration (OO) automates, integrates, and orchestrates any IT process, on cloud or off. Automate using low-code/no-code workflow authoring options. Integrate with an API rich, extensible platform. Centrally orchestrate powerful, scalable workflows.

    With OO you can automate and orchestrate infrastructure automation and IT processes from service fulfillment to incident remediation, cloud service delivery, and disaster recovery.

    Operations Orchestration offers the tools needed to provide enterprise wide orchestration capabilities:

    • Design automation workflows with a low-code/no-code designer canvas, content library, and API generator wizards.
    • Govern your automation in one place and centrally orchestrate powerful, scalable workflows in large, high availability environments.
    • Schedule workflows and make sure that SLAs are met and workflows execution happens when you need it.
    • Expose REST APIs to programmatically invoke orchestration from any external source.
    • Automate difficult interfaces with RPA robots that mimic screen based human actions.
    • Follow business and operational metrics to understand the value and the health of your orchestration environment.
    • Expose orchestration scenarios as services to your end users in an easy to use Self-Service catalog.

    Operations Orchestration offers the following components:
