7 IT Automations for Highly Effective Organizations
It’s been quite some time, since 1989 to be exact, that Stephen R. Covey made the world highly effective with his bestseller, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
Just like Covey taught us all how to develop and grow as people, here at Resolve, we believe organizations are just as capable of becoming highly effective, in no more than seven automations.
We’ve compiled all seven automations from our LinkedIn Live Series, The 7 IT Automations for Highly Effective Organizations, in one place just for you.
To see how one or more of these automations can impact your organization, be sure to get your custom demo.
Automation 1: Password Resets
The Effortless Way to Get Employees Back Online
Automating password resets has a powerful impact on the service desk – and the metrics prove it. The average IT helpdesk labor cost for just one password is $70.
Automation 2: Employee Onboarding
A Gamechanger for New Hires and IT Teams
Automated onboarding guarantees a great first impression for new hires and brings them up to speed faster, reducing costly metrics for things like time-to-productivity and time-to-proficiency.
Automation 3: Employee Offboarding
Automating the Many IT Tasks of Turnover
Automating offboarding processes creates efficiency and then some, giving IT professionals much-needed peace of mind. It only takes submitting a ticket, and thanks to automation, the rest is taken care of – effectively and on time.
Automation 4: Resource Provisioning
Making IT Happen in 10 Minutes or Less
The many moving parts of resource provisioning, and its challenges and complexity present real roadblocks for IT today. Running powerfully behind the scenes, automation can be designed to build unique processes, link together tasks, and integrate with practically any other tool that has a digital footprint.
Automation 5: IT Incident Remediation, Low Disk Space
Triaging the Explosion of Data and Closing the Loop
Today’s explosion of data in IT, cloud, containers, DevOps, and more, inevitably creates low disk space in the data center and ultimately can lead to an outage. Automation is critical across the entire remediation process, from digesting the data all the way to resolving problems right away, avoiding an outage all together.
Automation 6: IT Incident Remediation, Web App Down
Scaling Up to Keep Costs Down
IT departments are constantly tackling a number of task lists so high that sometimes, they can’t be completed by a human team, no matter how many hands are on deck. Organizations must take a new approach to getting IT jobs done. Automation is the only way to enable scaling for business needs and making incident management more effective.
Automation 7: Load Balancer Sanity Reboot
5 Steps to An Easy, Error-free Process
The demands and requirements of a load balancer sanity reboot exceed what a human can feasibly do without error. Automation must be a priority to move organizations beyond the pitfalls of manual work, and to a state of strategic focus and transformation.
