Tidal is assertively extending its legacy of leadership in workload automation."

Tidal's announcements include both new products and new services:

• Tidal Automation™ Release 6.5.1. The latest release of Tidal's best-in-class workload automation platform includes game-changing improvements in client-manager architecture, usability, installation, security, and resilience to handle today's complex cross-application, cross-platform workflows.

Rhimat's Schedule Insight product forms the foundation of a new wave of analytics and reporting capabilities for Tidal. This new wave starts with Tidal Explorer™ and includes a forward roadmap with new analytics products to be announced in the months ahead.

"Tidal is broadening the value and strategic relevance of workload automation in a world that never stops changing," said Rick McNees, Tidal CEO. "Our integrated suite of solutions and services provides a bridge from the present to the future – a direct reflection of what our customers tell us they need and want in an automation provider. Whether the enterprise is managing legacy environments like ERP, leveraging emerging technologies like IoT, migrating to multi-cloud operations, or all of the above, Tidal offers more choice for users. Our mission is to meet their needs and expectations, not ours."

Tidal is a leading single-pane-of-glass solution to help schedule, automate, and orchestrate business processes, applications, data, middleware, and infrastructure across the enterprise. In honor of its 40-year history as an automation innovator, the company has changed its name back to Tidal Software.  "Changing our name is about linking the past to the future," said McNees.
