Tidal Intelligent Automation

Tidal Intelligent Automation can help IT operate better, faster, and cheaper. This advanced solution is a process management platform that streamlines and automates the management and administration of Microsoft environments. It enables IT organizations to effectively control administrative processes, ensuring that tasks are executed precisely and delegated securely in accordance with corporate policy. Tidal Intelligent Automation helps IT departments reduce unit costs, improve service and respond quickly to important business initiatives.

Tidal Intelligent Automation allows IT to easily create, modify, and delegate its processes. Managers can securely assign tasks to staff members without requiring them to have administrative privileges—restricting access to this critical level of authority and preserving system integrity. In addition, to increase consistency of operations, IT can invoke processes ad hoc, automatically, or via guided operations. It also enables IT to automate, manage, and audit critical processes within Windows-centric IT operations. Making these processes visible and trackable allows IT to more quickly identify and resolve critical performance issues.
