Project Synopsis: Challenge/Opportunity
This company offers a web-based platform and a trained service team which handles all of the IT needs of small, medium, large businesses including 7x24 IT Support, Cloud Services, and Security and Privacy Services.  Highly regarded for their customer service and the quality of their work, this rapidly expanding company is looking to reduce, streamline, and optimize their business processes. They are implementing a workflow orchestration platform and introducing robotic process automation (RPA) methods to take previously high volume, very manual processes, and fully automate them. This company is looking for a Stevens team to identify, review, and redesign those processes offering the greatest potential for improvement. They hope to begin using their new platform to put a few of them into production by the end of the year.  This is a high priority project for the company. Successful implementation of these capabilities will allow the company to significantly increase the number of clients and devices under management and the profitability of the company and to continue to improve their customer service.
