We are excited to announce the release of AutoSys v24, a major update packed with powerful features designed to improve integration, user experience, and operational efficiency. With this release, we are introducing several commonly requested enhancements and laying the foundation for a modern and easy-to-use automation and orchestration platform. In the following sections, we outline what you can expect in AutoSys v24.

Key new features in AutoSys v24

PostgreSQL database support

AutoSys v24 now supports PostgreSQL as a database option, providing users with a flexible and cost-effective alternative for managing their automation data. This addition aligns with our commitment to be more cloud friendly and gives users the flexibility to choose a system that meets their organization’s technical and budgetary requirements.

Single sign-on (SSO) for Web UI using SAML 2.0

We have enhanced security and user convenience by employing SAML 2.0 to offer SSO for the AutoSys Web UI. This feature simplifies the authentication process, allowing users to seamlessly log in to AutoSys through their existing SSO solutions. With SAML 2.0 integration, we are providing a more secure and efficient way for users to access the Web UI, which is particularly beneficial for organizations with strict security protocols, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA).

Expanded REST API

AutoSys v24 delivers an expanded REST API to fill gaps between the CLI and REST, empowering developers to interact with the system more extensively and programmatically. The expanded API opens new possibilities for integration with other systems, enabling streamlined workflows and expanded automation capabilities.

Advanced help desk integration

We understand the importance of seamless support processes, so we have introduced a customizable help desk integration feature. With AutoSys v24, users can configure direct integration with their help desk systems. This capability promotes better self-service, making it easier for application teams to integrate with ServiceNow and other help desk tools. This customizable feature makes it easy to align with existing help desk workflows, improving response times and support management.

Preview of a modernized user experience for operators

AutoSys v24 includes a preview of our updated, modernized user interface for operators. This redesigned UI brings a fresh look and improved usability, enabling operators to work more efficiently and effectively. With this preview, users get a glimpse of what is coming in terms of a streamlined, intuitive experience that simplifies daily tasks and boosts productivity.

New five-year product support lifecycle

In response to customer feedback, we are extending AutoSys’s product support lifecycle to five years. This provides users with the stability and peace of mind needed to plan for the future, knowing that their investment in AutoSys is backed by a long-term support commitment and continuous innovation.
