Workload Automation Expo 2025

Bridging Innovation Across Industries

In December 2025, Extra Technology partnered with Broadcom to host the Workload Automation Expo in London — a dynamic, cross-industry gathering focused on the future of enterprise automation.

Held at Leonardo Hotels, the event brought together a vibrant mix of customers, partners, and prospective clients from sectors including financial services, automotive manufacturing, banking, and government. The shared goal? To explore how workload automation is evolving — and how organisations can stay ahead.

A Day of Insight, Strategy, and Real-World Solutions

From the opening keynote by Extra Technology CEO Mark Mannion to deep-dive sessions led by automation experts, the Expo delivered a full spectrum of insights:

Bridging the Islands of Automation: A candid look at the fragmentation across automation platforms — and how to build practical, scalable bridges between them.
Operationalising DLP with Automation: Real-world use cases showing how AutoSys and Automic streamline incident response, email quarantine, and compliance workflows.
Migrating from iDash to AAI: A technical walkthrough of Broadcom’s Automation Analytics and Intelligence platform, with migration strategies and SLA insights.
End-to-End Observability: Demonstrations of predictive SLA tracking, cross-platform dashboards, and unified monitoring across cloud, mainframe, and RPA environments.

Attendees saw firsthand how automation is no longer just a back-office function — it’s a strategic enabler of resilience, compliance, and business agility.

Who Was in the Room?

The Expo welcomed a diverse audience of:

CIOs and IT Heads navigating complex automation landscapes
Security and Compliance leaders seeking faster, smarter DLP workflows
Operations teams managing millions of automated processes monthly
Partners and platform specialists exploring integration opportunities
Prospective clients looking to modernise legacy scheduling and orchestration

The conversations were rich, the questions sharp, and the energy unmistakable — a clear signal that automation is top of mind across industries.

Key Themes That Emerged

Automation is more business-critical than ever — and failures have real-world consequences
Siloed tools are holding organisations back — bridging is the pragmatic way forward
AI and intelligent automation are reshaping expectations — but workload automation remains the backbone
Observability and orchestration are the new must-haves — not just nice-to-haves

Looking Ahead

The Workload Automation Expo wasn’t just a showcase — it was a call to action. As automation ecosystems grow more complex, the need for strategic integration, real-time visibility, and operational excellence becomes urgent.

Extra Technology and Broadcom remain committed to helping organisations navigate this journey — with proven platforms, deep expertise, and a relentless focus on outcomes.
