Agile and  Modern IT Solutions

A large-scale nationwide client with multiple architects requested support in establishing and configuring their ManageEngine environment from the ground up. With a variety of IT requirements encompassing IT Service Management (ITSM), Mobile Device Management (MDM), Change Management, Project Management, and OKTA integration, the task involved tailoring the ManageEngine suite to fit their specific business workflows, guaranteeing smooth integration, and promoting user acceptance.

Aspire Live, a trusted IT solutions provider, developed a comprehensive deployment strategy for ManageEngine solutions, integrating asset management, change management, project management, and MDM implementation. We executed the successful conversion and implementation of ManageEngine products, including seamlessly migrating ticket histories from previous ITSM tools, establishing robust change management procedures, configuring project boards, and optimising asset management capabilities with seamless OKTA integration. Additionally, Aspire Live provided post-project support with dedicated hours for addressing ongoing issues, providing additional training, and facilitating the integration of new modules within the ManageEngine suite. We extended support services for six months post-go-live to ensure operational efficiency and user satisfaction.

The county encountered obstacles due to its outdated contact center infrastructure based on a legacy Avaya system. This aging system's limitations in scalability, advanced functionalities, and adaptability impeded the county's capacity to provide efficient and effective services to its residents. In response, the county aimed to revamp its contact center setup to enhance customer accessibility, optimize operational workflows, and harness cutting-edge technologies for superior service delivery.

Teaming up with our experts, the County initiated a robust Enterprise Contact Center Modernization initiative. Opting for a shift to Cisco's cloud-based Webex Contact Center platform, the county harnessed its cutting-edge functionalities and features. The project encompassed the replacement of the existing DTMF IVR with Cisco's conversational IVR, integrating Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Text-To-Speech (TTS) capabilities, and implementing real-time reporting, call recording, and CRM integration. With the new platform, Miami Dade County could engage with residents through multiple communication channels such as phone, email, live chat, social media, and SMS/text messaging. AI-driven Virtual Agents empower residents with self-service functionalities, elevating accessibility and convenience. The platform's microservices-based architecture facilitated scalability and swift feature deployment, ensuring adaptability to changing requirements. Supervisors were furnished with Cisco Webex Workforce Optimization tools encompassing call recording, quality management, workforce management, and analytics, empowering them to lead their teams efficiently and foster outstanding customer experiences. Seamless integration facilitated the transmission of pertinent information, offering comprehensive insights into customer interactions.

Our client is undergoing a comprehensive infrastructure modernisation initiative to implement a cutting-edge security framework aligned with Zero Trust principles. By leveraging our expertise, the client is strategically aligning with the NIST Zero Trust maturity model, selecting top-tier products for seamless integration to fulfil the specific capability needs of each maturity model pillar. This strategic approach is poised to establish a state-of-the-art data centre and infrastructure fortified by robust zero-trust security protocols.

To address the needs of the users and device pillars, we strategically utilised key Microsoft technologies, including Microsoft Entra (Azure AD) for robust identity management and Microsoft InTune for efficient device management. Our approach also involved leveraging tools such as Gitlab, Microsoft Purview, and TrendMicro to enhance data and application management while ensuring top-notch security measures. Considering the client's substantial on-premises network infrastructure with a mix of cloud services, we integrated VMware NSX-T to implement effective east-west micro-segmentation. This decision enhances network security and optimizes overall network performance. Moreover, we meticulously configured a suite of cutting-edge tools to fulfil the Automation Orchestration pillar requirements, including Microsoft Sentinel, Ansible, Elastic, Gigamon, and Microsoft Defender. This comprehensive setup ensures seamless automation and orchestration and enhanced visibility and analytics across the network infrastructure.
