Overview:
The use of automated job scheduling and workload automation software tools typically brings direct benefits to both IT operations and end users, in terms of cost savings, operational efficiency, reduced down time, and increased productivity. These areas were the principal focus of the CA ESP Workload Automation ROI study.

Based on the results from in-depth surveys of 14 companies, the use of the newly rebranded CA ESP Workload Automation software has resulted in average total benefits of $6.9 million annually, or $45,422 per 100 users on a normalized basis. The average payback period averaged a short 6.4 months, and the ROI averaged 342%. These results clearly demonstrate the direct benefits realized by the CA ESP Workload Automation software users interviewed for this study.
