The power of automating your technologies

Automation technologies can act as a force multiplier—freeing up key staff to work on the big picture and minimizing human error at the same time. New application programming interfaces (APIs) are being added to enterprise applications and enterprise network equipment every day. Dean Dorton is here to help you link everything together with automation throughout the enterprise.

Automation

As your organization’s digital footprint grows, your IT staff are faced with the need to manage more with less.

Cisco enterprise solutions—such as SD-WAN, Meraki, Data Center, and corporate network—all have built-in APIs that can be used to automate the network. The possibilities are endless. Our team has developed solutions that can make complex changes on the enterprise network, all at the touch of a web interface button. Enterprise network automation can also be used to ensure that configuration templates are applied and maintained to all network equipment—keeping configurations “in line” with the standard, and making it easy to deploy new configuration to many devices in a matter of seconds.

Collaboration platforms—like Webex Teams, Microsoft Teams, and Slack—offer the ability to build “bots” to help teams stay up to date with the large amount of data flowing into their cloud applications. Our team can help integrate applications—from enterprise network automation, to financial management—into a bot workflow that can be easily accessed without ever leaving the corporate chat room.

Our Automation Solutions

Automation technology can act as a force multiplier, freeing up key staff to work on the big picture and minimizing human error at the same time.

Let’s build a cloud

Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Compute Platform offer rich APIs to support tie in with enterprise automation. Our team can build solutions to repeat repetitive cloud tasks, so that they are performed on time, the right way, every time.

Best-in-class user identity management

Okta offers a great interface for automating user provisioning and deprovisioning with Okta Lifecycle and Okta Workflows. IT administrators can automate tasks like user creation and deletion, adding users to various cloud applications, and even automatically adding users to a “Team” in Webex or Microsoft Teams based on their assigned department. Many organizations spend hours on user provisioning and deprovisioning—Okta can reduce that time to mere seconds.
