When IT teams adopt automation, the benefits are often felt right away: Faster deployments, fewer manual errors, and more time to innovate. But when it comes time to visualizing and proving that value to business leaders and other stakeholders, the story often falls short. That changes with the new automation dashboard, available with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.6.

Smarter, data-driven decisions

Automation dashboard delivers real-time, actionable insights to help guide your day-to-day operations. You gain greater visibility across the entire automation footprint, both direct and indirect nodes, helping identify over-utilization and under-utilization of your Ansible Automation Platform subscriptions.

That means you can better optimize and right-size your automation deployments, while executives can more readily see efficiency gains translated into business outcomes.

Business proof

From IT wins to business proof

The automation dashboard acts as a business case generator that runs 24/7. It continuously measures:

  • Job success rates: A clear picture of what’s running smoothly.
  • Time savings: Hours returned to teams across the business.
  • Return on investment: Actual dollars saved by automation.

With exportable PDF and CSV reports, IT leaders and automation teams can show exactly how much automation is saving, whether that’s proving ROI to a CFO, sharing successes with stakeholders, or identifying opportunities to optimize.

No more budget battles

Renewal cycles often trigger tough budget conversations. Without proof of value, even critical technology can fall under scrutiny. The automation dashboard helps eliminate that risk.

By putting hard numbers in the hands of IT and finance leaders alike, it turns renewals into a formality. Instead of fighting for budget, your team can point to concrete, real-time proof of value that justifies continued investment.

Privacy and authentication

Unlike external reporting tools, the automation dashboard is deployed as a self-contained, on-premise utility and configured with SSO authentication. Your data stays within your environment, adhering to your internal privacy and security controls, while still giving you the ability to share results with stakeholders or feed insights into BI tools.

Why it matters

Modern IT organizations are under pressure not only to deliver services quickly, but also to prove the value of every investment. The automation dashboard provides a trusted way to:

  • Demonstrate ROI clearly and with greater consistency
  • Strengthen business cases for automation expansion
  • Simplify renewals with data that speaks for itself
  • Guide smarter decisions with real-time insights
