Introduction
When a global SaaS enterprise was becoming swamped with daily, administrative minutia cluttering up their schedules, they realized it was time to make a change. As a global software provider with dozens of company sites used around the world, their IT team doesn’t need to be bogged down with daily mundanities when they have more pressing projects to work on.
That’s where Compuquip came into play. By leveraging Compuquip’s solutions, the software provider was able to automate routine tasks that shouldn’t require manual action in order for companies to streamline their operations.
This case study will explain the automation techniques used by Compuquip Cybersecurity to increase the efficiency of repetitive tasks and the reduction of human errors.
Project Background:
The Cybersecurity Challenges Our Client Experienced
The client was a large enterprise SaaS company with only a small IT team to manage several hundred cybersecurity gateways; with such a massive number of requests coming in every day, their deadlines were being poorly affected and impacting developers’ timelines. Such mundane tasks were completely overwhelming their operations, and getting in the way of more important concerns and tasks. This global enterprise asked Compuquip to manage these tasks for the developers, and also implement an automatic requests system so the IT team wouldn’t have to worry about individually managing this routine workload and reduce turnaround time in the realm of network security.
