A significantly greater number of teams began using the platform consistently, allowing the platform team to execute on their self-serve delivery model successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The platform team clearly treated the transition to a self-serve model as a journey that required iterations and fine-tuning. But with roughly 200 active users and countless impactful automations now built in Workato, it\u2019s safe to call this change in strategy a massive success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, how can you adopt a self-serve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.workato.com\/the-connector\/automation-operating-model\/\">automation operating model<\/a>? Swarada Deshpande, a Principal Architect of IT Platforms at Atlassian, offers some guidance based on her team\u2019s experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n    <div class=\"article__cta\">\r\n\t\t            <div class=\"article__cta-no\">\r\n\t\t\t\t                    <a href=\"https:\/\/discover.workato.com\/strategies-and-trends-for-enteprise-architects\/p\/1?ref=connector\">Learn more from Deshpande by watching the recorded webinar, \u201cArchitecting for Low-Code Integration u0026 Automation: Learning from Atlassian\u2019s Journey.\u201d<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\r\n\t\t    <\/div>\r\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tip 1: double down on security and governance to keep your data, applications, and processes secure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deshpande shared that \u201cSecurity is a top priority across Atlassian, and our team is no exception.\u201d With that in mind, her team has adopted several measures to ensure that adding more users in Workato doesn\u2019t compromise security.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s just a short list of what they\u2019ve already done and what they plan to roll out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They&#8217;ve applied team-based permissions at the Workato project level to ensure that the project\u2019s assets\u2014whether that\u2019s APIs, lookup tables or connectors\u2014are only available to certain users.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They\u2019ve built a dashboard that monitors a wide range of usage metrics, from the recipes a user builds to the number of tasks they consume. They\u2019re also pairing these insights with background information on users\u2014such as how long they\u2019ve had access to the platform and the department they work in\u2014to gain a more in-depth understanding of how the platform is being used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They\u2019ve added specific automations for projects that fall within their SOX compliance boundary to help them maintain compliance more easily.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They\u2019re planning on building an automation that detects applications that get added as connectors in Workato and that aren\u2019t approved by IT (which would trigger a notification to the IT team).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#fbdcdd\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Additional learning resources for enterprise architects<br><\/span><\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/academy.workato.com\/building-your-automation-teams\">How to build and scale your enterprise automation team (course)<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/discover.workato.com\/enterprise-automation-certification\/p\/1?ref=connector\">Everything you to need to know about enterprise automation (certification training)<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/tools.totaleconomicimpact.com\/go\/workato\/platform\/index.html\">ROI calculator for implementing integrations and automations with Workato<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tip 2: empower users by providing proactive guidance, documented best practices, personalized dashboards, and support<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The platform team knew that different users would require varying levels of guidance and support. With this in mind, they decided to adopt several initiatives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They\u2019ve tried to optimize task consumption in recipes at scale by building an automation that\u2019s triggered when a recipe reaches a certain threshold in tasks consumed. The platform team would go on to get notified, all but ensuring that a member of the team can quickly reach out to the builder and work with them on optimizing the recipe (i.e. finding a way for it to consume fewer tasks).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They\u2019ve helped teams and individuals build their own dashboards so that they can better understand how they\u2019re using the platform.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They\u2019ve provided documentation in Confluence that covers a range of topics on Workato, including when they should use Workato versus another one of their automation platforms and general best practices for using Workato.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>They\u2019ve made themselves available to any builder in Slack via a specific channel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adoption at scale, however, also comes down to the platform:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"article__quote article__quote_v1\">\r\n    <div class=\"article__quote-decor\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u201c<\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"article__quote-text\">\r\n\t\t\u201cWorkato\u2019s ease of use has helped our team see a fast time-to-value.

This has led the platform team to build deep custom connectors for popular applications\u2014via the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.workato.com\/developing-connectors\/sdk\/quickstart.html#before-you-begin\">Workato Connector SDK<\/a>\u2014that various functions could use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The platform team has also provided a library of recipe templates that users can select from and add to their development environment with ease\u2014all but ensuring that users can find inspiration quickly and implement automations with little delay.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, different teams were tasked with taking job logs from Workato and putting them into S3, Splunk, or Opsgenie, which proved to be tedious. To help account for this at scale, the platform team built a logging, monitoring, and alerting framework at the platform level that could streamline this work.<br><br>Everything we\u2019ve covered only scratches the surface in describing the foundational services the platform team provides and the solution architecture they\u2019ve deployed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\r\n    <div class=\"article__cta\">\r\n\t\t            <div class=\"article__cta-no\">\r\n\t\t\t\t                    <a href=\"https:\/\/discover.workato.com\/strategies-and-trends-for-enteprise-architects\/p\/1?ref=connector\">To fully understand Atlassian\u2019s automation operating model, you can watch the recording of the webinar, \u201cArchitecting for Low-Code Integration u0026 Automation: Learning from Atlassian\u2019s Journey.\u201d<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\r\n\t\t    <\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While this approach worked for some time, various lines of business (LoBs) began to make more integration and automation requests, which inevitably led to a significant backlog and delays in delivery.
