Redwood Software Boosts Automation Observability
Redwood Software has announced advancements to its Redwood Insights Premium platform, aimed at improving observability for enterprise automation. The update includes new integrations for platforms such as SAP Cloud ALM, Dynatrace, Splunk, and New Relic. This provides more comprehensive visibility into complex, orchestrated workflows.
- The underlying platform, RunMyJobs, is built to orchestrate processes across enterprise resource planning (ERP), hybrid cloud, and data systems, which is critical for integrating manufacturing execution systems (MES) within a regulated GMP environment. - The specific integration with SAP Cloud ALM synchronizes automation data directly into SAP, offering centralized monitoring for organizations that use SAP for managing manufacturing and supply chain logistics. - Enhanced connectivity with platforms like Dynatrace and Splunk allows for full-stack telemetry correlation, which can accelerate root-cause analysis for failures in automated data pipelines, such as those moving data from lab instruments to a LIMS or electronic batch record system. - Redwood Insights Premium features a no-code dashboard builder and retains data for 15 months, facilitating long-term performance analysis of automated workflows, like identifying bottlenecks in multi-batch cell culture or analytical testing processes. - A recent Redwood survey found that 61% of enterprises report their automation tools are underutilized, indicating a broader industry need for the deeper, more actionable intelligence these new observability features aim to provide. - Founded in 1993, Redwood has a long history in enterprise automation, particularly within the SAP ecosystem, and differentiates itself by focusing on direct system-level integrations rather than UI-based robotic process automation (RPA). - The workflow automation market was valued at USD 23.77 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 40.77 billion by 2031, with the healthcare and pharmaceuticals segment forecast to see a compound annual growth rate of 11.22%, signaling strong investment in this area. - The platform aims to deliver role-specific dashboards, allowing leaders to create tailored views for different stakeholders, such as process development scientists, manufacturing operations, and R&D teams, to monitor the automation performance most relevant to their functions.
