Benefits of MSP Automation: 1 - 7

#1 Automate Network Alerts

Network devices are the backbone of IT. When they fail, productivity can grind to a halt. Even slight performance issues—like latency and jitter—can ruin VoIP calls and video meetings, impacting business.

Through automated network alerts, it can help you react to outages sooner and proactively address brownouts before they lead to bigger issues.

#2 Automate Repetitive Maintenance Tasks

Automating these routine tasks offers two major benefits:

• Reduced human error: Automation minimizes the chance of a task being overlooked.
• Increased productivity: With routine maintenance handled, technicians can focus on tasks that need their expertise.

#3 Automate Ticket Routing

Automated workflows let you route tickets with context, making it easier to tackle common scenarios. Imagine automatically sending all tickets for a specific client to their account manager or auto-assigning a ticket to Tier 2 support based on its status. An MSP automation platform also tracks ticket status and prioritizes client tickets based on your custom rules.

#4 Automate Issue Remediation

MSP automation takes remote management and monitoring to the next level, with RMM features that tackle issues around the clock. Set up remediation rules in your platform, and the software will automatically resolve common problems while directing complex cases to the right technicians.

#5 Automate Patch Management

Automation empowers MSPs to quickly search for and apply patches as they’re released. By automating patch management, MSPs boost efficiency, optimize resource allocation, and ensure client systems and endpoints stay secure.

#6 Automate Hundreds of Workflows with Powershell Scripts

PowerShell scripts let you automate everything from routine maintenance to complex user management workflows. These scripts can help boost cybersecurity, streamline MSP operations, and automatically configure user permissions.

#7 Automate Vulnerability Management

Vulnerability management is broader in scope. It seeks to identify and address all types of security risks an organization may face. For example:

• Discovery: Enumerating the assets in an organization and the associated threats.
• Prioritization: Ranking the vulnerabilities based on the overall risk.
• Remediation: Addressing the risk through mitigation or elimination.

Automation allows for rapid identification and remediation of vulnerabilities, minimizing the window of exposure to threats. This speed is essential in today’s fast-paced cyber threat landscape.
