Automated IT Documentation
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:
The Fundamentals of Active Directory 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.
How MSPs Can Handle After-Hours Support
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.
How to Maintain Great IT Documentation
Setting up great documentation is like cleaning your room - unless you take the time to regularly keep it clean, well, it just gets more and more messy over time. Here are some ways you can maintain all that beautiful IT documentation.
Using KPIs to Help You Grow
Whether it is having your SOPs documented, building out relationships between assets or making it easier to locate relevant information, effective documentation can improve your techs' productivity in multiple ways.
Functionality vs. Security
Do you have to choose between functionality and security? I think anybody in IT will say no, but if you're ever had to argue with a client about implementing MFA, you know that the question isn't always as straightforward for people outside the IT space.
