    The Challenge

    High Cost Operations of Human-Driven Processes

    A common theme for companies across the board today are overburdened employees. Additionally, teams within the company are often feverishly trying to find solutions to overcome these ever-evolving challenges. A Fortune 500 American multinational pharmaceutical company faced this exact issue. With 34,000+ employees in mind, they were taxed with inundated service desks due to the traditional human-driven resolution process for recurring incidents, service request (SR) tasks and other types of incidents in their IT environment. Due to inadequate standardization and these human-driven processes, there were many human errors, long MTTDs and MTTRs, and SLA breaches. SMEs performed script executions on servers while ensuring the adherence to change management protocols, all of which contributed to a high cost of operations.
