Do you have more than one ITSM platform in your environment?  Are you planning on migrating from one ITSM platform to another?  Will you need to parallel multiple ITSM platforms simultaneously, until you standardize on one?  If any of these scenarios apply to you, how can you ensure data is synchronized among all systems, so that nothing falls through the cracks?

Please join us on Wednesday June 9th for a demonstration of how BMC Helix Remedyforce, JIRA, and ServiceNow can all be kept fully synchronized via IT Process Automation (ITPA).  We'll demonstrate how ITPA can ease the transition from one ITSM platform to another, even with multiple integration points involved, and we'll do it without any programming or scripting.  It's a presentation you won't want to miss.

On this webinar you'll learn how to:
* Easily integrate to any major ITSM platform
* Keep major ITSM platforms synchronized without any programming or scripting

When the global pandemic began, it forced lots of people to work from home, creating a sudden surge in remote workers.  Many organizations scrambled to accommodate this shift in work environments by quickly assigning them cloud-based resources.  The good part of that was how rapidly IT Ops teams were able to pivot & accommodate this shift to maintain business continuity.  The bad part was they later realized their cloud expenses skyrocketed, and they needed to go back to optimize both the resources & their attendant costs.  On this webinar we’re going to show you how AIOps together with Automation can deliver that optimization for you intelligently.

On this webinar you'll learn how to automate:

* Analysis of your AWS EC2 usage by user
* Generation of recommendations to optimize AWS EC2 usage by user
* Execution of those recommendations incorporating an MS-Teams chatbot interface

Patch management is considered by many to be one of the more vital functions provided by the IT or Security Operations team.  That’s especially true nowadays when there are so many threats from hackers, and so many bugs found in systems after they’ve gone into production.  Software patching is critical for preventing data breaches, server crashes, and lots of other bad outcomes from various vulnerabilities.

There are many options for you to choose from when considering a patch management solution.  What's not as well addressed are the equally important activities adjacent to the application of a software patch.  An automation platform like Ayehu NG can streamline these tasks, dramatically improving the overall patch management process.

 This webinar shows you an example of that, and the kind of workflow you can build with Ayehu NG to ensure thoroughness in your patch management process, as well as compliance with organizational standards.  We see this as a critically overlooked aspect of many organizations’ lifecycle management strategy.

On this webinar you'll learn how to automate:
• Pre-patch checks - including such things as identifying dependencies, testing patches out on a test environment before applying them to a production system, reading the release notes, etc.
• Post-patch checks - including such things as rebooting machines that require it, performing a smoke test to ensure everything that worked correctly before the patch was applied still does, and executing rollbacks wherever problems are uncovered.

According to the Society For Human Resources Management (SHRM), 69% of employees are more likely to stay with a company for 3 years if they experience great onboarding.  Onboarding employees can consume significant resources, even when the process goes smoothly.

This strain is further exacerbated in organizations with high new hire volumes.

It’s estimated that 90% of organizations around the world use Active Directory as their primary identity service for authentication and authorization.  Hackers know this, which is why Active Directory has become one of their favorite targets.  Of course, it isn’t just hackers looking for vulnerabilities in order to gain access to your network resources.  It’s also insiders.  Regardless of whether your attacker is external or internal, if successful, they can cause enormous damage to your enterprise, both financial & reputational.  On this use case demo, we’re going to show you how automation can help accelerate investigation of these security breaches, and as a result, greatly reduce an organization’s exposure from attacks on corporate Active Directory deployments.
