Fortra's Automate ROI
We get a high ROI because we can automate all the processes ourselves without hiring a consultant. Learning to develop automation in-house can be a costly process because you need to buy the license and spend money on training, so the initial cost is higher. In our case, we have technical backgrounds, so our staff can pick it up quickly.
Automation has reduced staff hours and the risk of errors. We are more efficient and productive. People are more motivated because they're doing fewer repetitive tasks.

We can usually see a quick return on investment with Automate after implementation. It is relatively easy to develop, so solutions can be deployed quickly. However, there may be times when maintenance is required. From what I have seen in organizations, there is usually a quick return on the initial investment, although there is ongoing maintenance needed to keep it running.

We've saved about a million dollars, to be honest. Because when you factor in the labor costs we saved and the work multiplication of IT by doing even system-level notifications. We just automate our inventory management system's monitors, SQL queries, and uptime. We used the monitor uptime for our network. If a particular reporting tool is down, it will send an SMS to our phones. We used Automate for cybersecurity, checking our network's access and ensuring file transfers were working. We used it in many different ways that the solution was not readily used for because we were a small IT team at the time, so we used it as a way to multiply our team and provide more services to the company while making IT another kind of profit center because of the different services we're able to provide.

We see that there's usually a very quick ROI on it after implementation. It's pretty easy to develop, which means you can get solutions out pretty quickly. At times, you have to maintain certain parts of it, but that's expected. What I've seen is that after implementing it, organizations usually see a quick return on the initial investment they have made. There is going to be a maintenance cost for it to ensure that it keeps running, but that's fair.

We have seen ROI in terms of saving and cutting down on resources related to specific workflows. You don't have to have IT staff to manipulate files or pick them up or automate some things for end-users. Since they don't have to perform those actions, we get ROI savings there.

Regarding the return on investment, I may not have the exact figures at the moment, but our primary focus is on enhancing efficiency. We are actively measuring and analyzing the efficiency gains we've achieved, and the results have been quite promising.
We are currently engaged in several automation projects, and we are closely tracking the benefits and returns generated by our automation efforts.
