The 3 Primary Business Benefits of IT Automation

IT Automation Systems are revolutionizing the maintenance, administration and support of IT Systems, delivering 3 major benefits to business:

  1. Firstly, they directly reduce IT support costs by:
    • eliminating much of the labour required to perform time consuming, manual maintenance and systems administration tasks
    • reducing support labour by reducing the number of IT faults and failures that occur
    • reducing the labour required to resolve faults and failures when they do occur
  2. Secondly, they increase the productivity of IT users by improving IT system reliability, security and performance. This is achieved with an integrated set of software utilities that:
    • prevent many common problems with Windows computers from occurring
    • automatically rectify a number of other computer problems whenever they occur
    • enable rapid recovery from complete computer failures (typically in less than an hour compared with ½ a day to a day or more to perform a manual recovery)
  3. Thirdly, they reduce the business risk associated with malware infection, data loss and data theft by keeping IT security and malware provisions up to date and working at all times

In addition, IT Automation Systems like Kadec's IT Management and Support System (KIMS) include additional software tools and utilities that:

  1. Maintain up to date IT hardware and software inventory information by performing regular, automated discovery and audit of servers, PCs and laptops on the network This includes:
    • software Inventory and license use
    • hardware Inventory, down to details like CPU type, memory (down to modules installed), disks installed and free capacity, ports and adapters, etc.
  2. Provide patch update status reports for all Windows systems.
  3. Provide rapid software deployment capabilities, enabling the roll out of new software applications, application upgrades and Operating System upgrades to managed Windows PC's and laptops much more quickly, more reliably and at a fraction of the cost of traditional manual methods.

Businesses spend a lot of money on IT and 60% to 80% of this expenditure is consumed in maintaining and supporting their IT Systems. IT Automation provides a real and effective way to significantly reduce these costs.
