 How we help

 Strategic planning and consulting

Automation often starts with grassroots efforts and spreads through different parts of the organization. Eventually, leadership realizes the need for an overarching strategy. Our automation consultants sit down with IT and business leaders to identify automation use cases that deliver a maximum return to the business while maintaining project momentum.

  • Mapping and prioritizing automation projects to business goals
  • Workshops and interviews with business and IT stakeholders to identify inefficiencies in processes before automation should occur
  • Creation of executive presentation, financial forecasting and ROI reporting to secure executive support
  • Impact analysis to establish KPIs
  • Review of implemented tools and processes

 Accelerators and expert help

With pressure from the business to automate, many of our clients find themselves needing short-term help to mature automation technologies and processes. We partner with our clients to provide them access to automation teams that include enterprise architects, agile leads, senior technology directors and engineers. Engagements typically last three months, just enough time to overcome the major roadblocks standing in the way of automating common focus areas.

  • Decommission and migrations
  • Test automation
  • Digitized lifecycle management
  • Asset and configuration rationalization
  • AppDev platform acceleration
  • Automated troubleshooting

 Training and ongoing support

Many of our clients struggle to hire for automation skillsets. Existing employees often want to learn these skills but don't have the platform to do it. We've built all the resources IT leaders need to train and upskill staff on automation technologies. 

  • Self-paced, on-demand labs and learning paths that span multiple automation solutions
  • Single-day automation events that include hands-on labs and talks by industry experts
  • Online communities specific to different areas of automation
  • Proofs of concept and testing
  • Custom development and integrations
