The degree to which you can automate documentation depends on the documentation software at your disposal. The good news is that IT Glue comes with a ton of automation options. The idea is to help you automate much of the heavy lifting and tedious processes so that you can turn documentation into a competitive advantage quickly. Let’s look at different ways IT Glue can help you automate documentation:
Active Directory forms the basis of the client network that is in charge of centralized domain management. It manages directory-based, identity-related services that store information about objects on the network and makes it easily accessible to administrators and users. The data it stores includes users, their contact information, passwords and their permissions. Whether you are an MSP or an internal IT team, Active Directory documentation for each environment you support must be considered a top priority activity. However, the question is, how do you document an Active Directory? That’s exactly what we cover in this blog.
MSP after-hours support is something that we all like to keep to a minimum. However, when your top clients reach out to you in the middle of the night with a major crisis, you have no choice but to respond. Businesses and MSPs may stick to regular business hours but cybercriminals don’t. Hackers might even target your client’s business after work hours since they know the networks are not closely monitored during that time.
We've got some exciting news for you! Starting next week, we will be launching a brand-new initiative called 'MSP Spotlight,' where we turn the spotlight on you, our partners, in a series of weekly blogs.
Documenting hardware is pretty straightforward, at least if you're using IT Glue, integrated with your RMM. Add a little Network Glue, some other plug and play integrations, and voilá, you've got your basic hardware documented. But what about software?
The MSP of 2021 and beyond isn't just a lifestyle business, it's a growth machine. The pandemic may have slowed business down a bit, even a lot in some sectors, but the broader trends towards increased technological dependence for business, and a lack of technical staff on the job market means that the demand for managed services will remain on an upward trajectory for the foreseeable future.
The ability to automatically discover, document and diagram networks makes an organization agile in more ways than one.
If information isn't written down, sharing knowledge becomes a telephone game.
An agile organizations relies on tight-knit teams that work together seamlessly. When it comes to IT, the same needs to be true for your tech stack.
