Application Intelligence and Process Automation

Driven by APPtechnology.

APPtechnology see Enterprises’ struggle with both complex and the boring administrative areas of EUC delivery.  Changing BAU workloads, internal project delivery and prioritisation of today’s tasks leads to postponements, omissions and technical debt around the following areas:

The pace of application changes – covering security and general patching

Concentrating on improvements – removing unused or out of support applications

Process completion – delays on complex processes such as joiners and leavers

Device management – Health, retirement or loss

User information – Business or User information that is out of date from previous targeted activity

PMO delivery –definitive spreadsheets that are project specific, and out of date the next day

Baseline and progress reporting – understanding what is improving and what needs more attention

APPtechnology’s Advanced EUC leverages our extensive application knowledge and Business Information and Process Automation tooling, to deliver improvements in all of these areas.

Service Highlights

Use case examples

The following use case examples can save you money, improve your security, and turn your older data into useable business information… just imagine the Process automation possibilities.

Improve Hardware security and reduce theft – Imagine a laptop, enabled within AD but not seen on the network for X weeks.  Automated comms to the last logged on user to ask about location of device, and if an email bounce received either escalate to security or send auto-wipe commands.  If identified that hardware was re-imaged and renamed, then consolidate information or data clean-up in CMDB.

Projects work from information that is current and precise – Use automated surveys to keep historical user data up to date.  Where AD information has not been updated for x months, trigger user communications to check that it is relevant – “we have X as your line management and Y as your office location, is this still correct?”

Reduce your software license costs – Unused software is identified and either removed or the user contacted to check requirements.  Software request and deployment process automated to allow rapid redeployment if required, integrated with any ITSM solution.

Automated “Nagging Engine” – Reminders and recording user activities on regulatory required scheduled activities such as completing anti bribery training, H&S activity, or checking on validity of mandated financial certifications.

Automate complex but repetitive IT processes – Maternity, Paternity or Long term leave processes such as temporarily removing expensive license allocations, or automated comms to reduce per user subscriptions, account suspension or re-enablement, security group management can all be automated, as can extensive joiners and leavers IT requirements.

Cyber Essentials Compliance – Your service can identify, recommend, package or patch software to maintain CE+ levels of compliance.  It can automate the removal of unsupported applications, or start communications that will be a record of exception, along with providing expert advice on exceptions management.

Proactive identification of impacted users – In addition to knowing who may be impacted by project, application or infrastructure changes, you can automate communications to users based on application or hardware performance.  Automate activity based on machine or application health reporting.
