Saving Time with Automation

Did you know that 58 percent of IT organizations spend more than 5 hours per week on repetitive tasks that can be automated? That adds up to 6.5 work weeks per year wasted on tasks like password resets, IT ticket clean-up, managing credentials and software provisioning. 90 percent of IT organizations say these tasks directly contribute to low employee morale.

Using Automation to Reduce Ticket Volume

Automating request from your self-service portal can be a great way to reduce the number of tickets hitting your service desk. For tasks like software provisioning, name changes or password resets you can set up dynamic forms on your portal and use automated workflows to check systems, make changes or provision software based on permissions and approvals.

Top Tasks for Automation

  • Password resets
  • Account change/name change requests
  • Software provisioning
  • User/group permissions
  • Onboarding/offboarding of employees
  • IT ticket triage
Investing in tools that allow our employees to engage in meaningful work is important to us.
