The Open Vista cloud workstation journey
1. Add your WorkSpaces to Azure AD
Managed directory services are becoming increasingly common as companies migrate to the cloud. Administrators appreciate sophisticated controls without the administrative burden of an on-premises system, and must find ways to connect their workstation fleets to cloud-based directories so these transitions are efficient.
Customers can use Azure AD with Amazon WorkSpaces and AWS Managed Microsoft AD, which supports Amazon WorkSpaces natively. WorkSpaces interfaces with AWS Directory Service to let administrators use the directory that best meets their needs.
Simple Active Directory is designed for administrators who only need workstations and do not want to maintain a domain. Administrators can also use AWS Managed Microsoft AD if they want the benefits of Active Directory and high availability in a fully managed solution.
Finally, Active Directory Connector is available for administrators who want to use their existing Active Directory forest for their Workspace.
2. What is service delivery automation?
Service delivery automation (SDA) is process automation that manages customer-facing processes, such as creating and tracking tickets, answering questions, resolving requests, etc. SDA uses artificial intelligence technologies to automate manual human tasks.
Several business functions must be coordinated to achieve the targeted objectives, and several customer-facing divisions manage these business functions. As a result, an improved data flow enables a better understanding of the customer journey: routine tasks disappear as if by magic thanks to service delivery automation.
Any change in a company's operating procedures is destabilizing. One of the most critical elements is data migration and supporting users through the adoption of change. It is therefore essential to understand the benefits of and reasons for automating service delivery. Here are five benefits of SDA and why it is worth committing to it.
Five Benefits of SDA
1. Customer Experience
The fundamental benefit of SDA is a positive customer experience. Any obstacle customers encounter when obtaining services is unacceptable and leads to lower revenue and brand value. Automating service delivery provides an unparalleled, consistent experience every time by streamlining the process and reducing friction.
2. Self-Service
Many customers want to resolve their issues without speaking to a representative. An automated support service handles these issues efficiently: lower-tier tickets are always routed to self-service so as not to waste an expert's time, and several comparable issues are grouped and labeled as a single issue.
3. System Integration
Any automation initiative or digital transformation project must include system integration. Various business activities are connected to enable the automation of data flows, extract insights, and better understand the overall customer experience and the market. Communication between departments improves, and a data lake is used to streamline information.
4. Zero Errors
Errors can occur when a large volume of service deliveries or customer requests is processed manually. One of the benefits of automation is the elimination of errors in manual processes, which can become difficult to resolve and mitigate over time. Automating service delivery ensures that no errors occur during delivery-related tasks.
5. Savings & ROI
Ultimately, it all comes down to the costs of your current system and the ROI generated by automating service delivery. Customer lifetime value increases directly as the customer experience improves, and reducing errors helps limit revenue leakage. Automating service delivery is a cost-effective investment that will pay off in the long term.
The Benefits of Cloud Migration with Open Vista
Managed cloud services, including migration and maintenance, enable you to maximize productivity and efficiency. Migrate your existing systems to the cloud to stay ahead of the competition.
Enhanced security
Even when connected to the public internet, cloud workstations encrypt communications to and from the cloud infrastructure using virtual private networks (VPNs), protecting critical data against threats and unauthorized access.
Guaranteed Availability
Cloud workstation providers are solely responsible for guaranteeing 99.95% availability, with various disaster recovery and redundancy options.
Centralized IT
All components of the virtual workstation, from applications to data and the virtual infrastructure, are hosted in the cloud and managed centrally by IT operations, enabling better control and policy enforcement.
Anywhere, on Any Device
