Preface
Revised: March 2014, March 1, 2014
Cisco Process Orchestrator is designed to enhance and automate the management and administration of 
IT applications and infrastructures. Its powerful process automation engine provides the logical 
constructs necessary to support even the most complex requirements to automate the administrative and 
operational tasks necessary to manage these systems. Process Orchestrator automates:
  •
Processes in and across domains (such as network, database, systems) and organizations
  •
Event and incident management 
  •
Change and configuration management
  •
Provisioning, especially around users and virtual machines
  •
Administrative tasks
  •
Real-time automation (for example, event-driven diagnostics)
  •
Tasks that operators would perform across tools
  •
Human interactions, such as approvals
  •
Systems, Event Managers, Service Desks, CMDBs, devices
  •
Compliance, policy enforcement, and reporting
The product’s easy to use visual process editor allows processes to be rapidly designed and 
deployed—all with a minimum of training. Its powerful delegation model allows tasks that today 
consume the time of senior staff members to be redirected to other staff members or even other 
departments.
With Cisco Process Orchestrator, your IT organization can attain higher levels of operational excellence 
by increasing the deployment of operational and administrative best practices, improving the consistency 
with which process and policy is followed, and improving service by reducing operational and 
administrative errors.
