1. IT AUTOMATION – THE INFORMED-WAY

2. Informed – The Automation Specialists
INFORMED.IO WAS FOUNDED BY INDUSTRY VETERANS TO HELP CUSTOMERS RAPIDLY DELIVER IT AUTOMATION
Tell me about Informed
• We were tired of seeing organisations spend time and money on strategy only to see it gather dust in the
bottom of a drawer
• We believe strategy is delivery, our unique philosophy, approach and methodology is based on developing
strategy that works and strategy that can be immediately delivered
Delivery
1.
• One of the reasons that the current approach to IT strategy fails is that it lacks flexibility and interactivity
• Delivered in PowerPoint it remains largely static and quickly becomes outdated
• At Informed we think this is wrong, hence we built a strategy platform from the ground up built for change and
built for currency. This platform is the foundation for the Informed-way Automation strategyFlexible
2.
• Our model is the combination of industry experts and a software platform to drive strategy delivery
• Our people are industry veterans, when we deliver an automation strategy using our software platform we
don’t walk away. Our consultants will help optimise delivery and work with you to overcome roadblocks

3. Automation – The Informed Way
OUR APPROACH TO AUTOMATION STRATEGY WILL SET YOUR ORGANISATION ON THE RIGHT PATH TO SUCCESS
• Automation tools alone will not deliver IT Infrastructure automation for your
organisation
• To be successful you must have an Automation strategy and plan that drives
automation across process and technology
• The Informed approach is based on a ground up re-design of how strategy is
delivered….we think you’ll like it
Let’s Start at the Beginning…….

4. Lets first look at Car Manufacturing
THE CAR MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY HAS BEEN AUTOMATING FOR OVER ONE HUNDRED YEARS
1901 1908 1913 1956 2016
Ransom Old's invents the
assembly Line (Oldsmobile)
• 500% output improvement
• 20 cars per day
Ford Model T Introduced
• Build time – 12 Hours
Ford Introduces the Moving
Assembly line
• Build time – 93 Minutes
• 2 Million cars produced in 1
year
• $550 per car ($14K in 2016),
decreasing to $290 in 1925
Invention of the
Industrial Robot
• Half of all factory robotics is
used in car manufacturing
• In the KIA factory 240
Robots fuse a car together
in 90 minutes
Car Manufacturing
Automation
• Toyota manufactures
3.3M cars a year
• Average output is
575 cars per hour

5. IT Infrastructure is still in 1901
EVEN WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF TOOLS, INFRASTRUCTURE PROVISIONING STILL HAVE MANY MANUAL COMPONENTS AND DELAYS
Compute Storage Network Security OS Config Apps Process –
CMDB etc
QA
• Enterprise Organisations, on average, take 10 days to build, configure, QA and
commission a workload.
• Characterised by a large number of manual tasks and lengthy wait-times

6. IT Infrastructure is a Car
IT INFRASTRUCTURE PROVISIONING NEEDS TO MODERNISE, MAKING USE OF THE IT EQUIVALENT OF A ROBOTIC ASSEMBLY
LINE
Compute Storage Network Security OS Config Apps Process –
CMDB etc
QA
Automation is the IT Infrastructure equivalent of a continuous Robotic Assembly line
The IT Automation Assembly Line

7. The Problem is….
ORGANISATIONS STRUGGLE TO BUILD A PLAN TO MOVE FROM 1901 MANUAL PROVISIONING TO 2016 AUTOMATION
To modernise and automate your infrastructure provisioning across the dimensions of
people, process and technology, you will need a clear unambiguous plan that:
# Plan Rationale
1 Includes a Clear Automation Strategy The entire organisation operating to a common goal
2 Includes a Financial Analysis Why are we automating – A financial perspective
3 Has a clear highway for delivery A detailed plan to move the organisation from current state to
future state including resources, actions and milestones
4 Can be updated to reflect changes No project is static just as no business is static, the plan must
change to reflect this
