On a daily basis, IT personnel struggle with planning workloads for individuals and groups, coordinating work among the team and completing work on a timely basis because of the lack of a process within the data center, which can lead to increased inefficiencies and risks.
A workflow management solution can go a long way to helping data centers increase their efficiency and reduce the risks associated with adding, moving, decommissioning and renaming equipment. But to maximize the value of their investment in such a solution, the workflow needs to be fully—and transparently—integrated with their DCIM solution. For many organizations, the only way to manage these processes has either been through cumbersome, error-prone spreadsheets or standalone workflow management solutions.
The Trellis™ Process Manager provides functionality that reduces the need for multiple solutions in managing the workflow within the data center and allows a systematic approach to making an organization’s workflow more effective.
The Trellis™ Process Manager is a valuable, integral component of the overall Trellis™ platform product offering. It has four processes based on best practice:
1.Equipment Install
2.Equipment Decommission
3.Equipment Move
4.Equipment Rename
With these four processes, you can:
