Absolutely. Kelverion has been doing Automation as a Service before it was a buzzword. IT Service Desk Automation is our current sweet spot; but as a RSM for Kelverion, my job is to help IT service teams gain time and business value using service desk automation as a tool. For the past 11 years, Kelverion has built best practices for automation implementation for multiple federal clients and businesses for on premise and hybrid/multi-cloud IT service, RPA, IoT and custom projects. If tasks are electronic, Kelverion can automate those tasks as long as the process proves to be productive, streamlined and purposeful. We can map and teach multiple processes using a graphical user interface flow chart and automate it without coding. (https://www.kelverion.com/runbook-studio-download-request) This is considering RMM, RPA, DR, IoT or any bespoke project that generates purpose, value and efficiency. The best practices that we've built inside of our products are functional; and work immediately out of the box. From our experience(s) with anchor customers, we've developed best practices that are updated in every current product delivery. We also provide full training and support packages for all of our upgraded delivery releases. So as a manager; if your tasks require you to 'do more with less', we can use automation to 'do the dirty work' and allow your team to focus on higher level tasks. That way, they have time to add more productivity and value to your customers. We can white-label your Automation Portal to existing user interfaces( Sharepoint, Service Desk, Mobile, API) to streamline requests via multiple platforms: (https://www.kelverion.com/automation-portal/) Kelverion's Automation Value Calculator is the baseline GUI. (https://www.kelverion.com/value-calculator/) can provide expectations for the most common automation use cases, but for a custom analysis, send a message to set up a brief chat.
