Challenge

Managing a hybrid IT ecosystem comprising in-house and external solutions, with limited visibility of all tools in use creates different challenges. Streamlining onboarding/offboarding processes, centralizing IT management, and ensuring robust security and efficient license management across regions are additional topics.

Solution

A centralised platform to monitor, manage, and secure all IT services while improving onboarding and offboarding workflows. The platform should enhance visibility of external tools, enable fine-grained security controls, and streamline license management to optimize IT operations globally.
