Torii, creator of the Distributed SaaS Management Platform for IT professionals, today announced its newest report, "State of IT Automation: Breakthrough or Buzzkill?," which reveals that many IT professionals have been burned by the promise of automation largely due to poorly designed tools (44% of respondents) and a lack of education surrounding solutions (64%). But even though only 13% of respondents have found great success with automation, 92% are still championing it within their organizations - a signal that many still see its potential to eliminate mundane work, deliver consistent, error-free results, and streamline operations.
According to Evanta, a Gartner company, CIOs cite that increasing efficiency and productivity are top priorities for 2023. To do this, IT teams are increasingly turning to AI and automation solutions. However, as Torii's report shows, all the hype can lead to disillusionment and ultimately impact adoption.
"OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard have ignited an intense interest in emerging AI tools that can streamline work and empower employees to do their jobs smarter and more effectively, and for good reason," said Uri Haramati, CEO and co-founder of Torii. "However, as Torii's report shows, automation and, ultimately, AI solutions, will be hard-pressed to cross the chasm until people feel they can truly trust and rely on them, easily integrate them into their daily work lives, and see that they make a profound difference. This is exactly why our SaaS management technology has intuitive automation baked into it, eliminating the learning curve and allowing IT to see meaningful impact from the start."
