Our client is an America-based provider of leading-edge transportation, logistics and supply chain management solutions with a huge fleet base. They approached us with a set of challenges that revolved around inefficient support operations. We aided them in driving business process transformation by delivering best-in-class automation solutions and improving customer efficiency, productivity and experience. End-to-end digital transformation was brought into IT operations by delivering hyperautomation services across the IT ecosystem.

The Challenge

Navigating complexities and addressing business limitations

With the client’s IT ecosystem turning complex and hybrid, the systems find it difficult to communicate with each other. Monitoring these systems was of profound importance to keep track of issues and failures in business operations. The support services offered by the client were mostly manual-based and hence had their limitations. Web servers and database servers were also manually monitored and this threw light on the need for better monitoring systems.

Leveraging hyperautomation, the operations and the business processes were intended to be made highly efficient and minimize the cost involved. The reporting and governance structure is to be strengthened to bring in standardized business processes across business units.
