About The Customer
SWNS Media Group (SWNS) is a prominent media company that creates and delivers high-quality news content to some of the world's largest publishers. The company operates nine global offices and has an in-house IT team responsible for managing the technological infrastructure. Led by Technical Lead John Merrick, the IT team faced numerous challenges, including an overload of tickets, lack of visibility into remote devices, and inefficient manual processes. The team sought a solution to improve their efficiency, response times, and cross-departmental collaboration.
The Challenge
SWNS Media Group's in-house IT team, led by Technical Lead John Merrick, faced significant challenges managing IT operations across nine global offices. The team was overwhelmed with numerous tickets and lacked clear patch management policies. This situation led to inefficiencies, slow response times, and difficulties in cross-departmental collaboration. The team needed a solution that could streamline their processes, improve visibility into remote devices, and enhance overall control, reporting, and analytics capabilities.
The Solution
To address these challenges, SWNS Media Group implemented Atera, a comprehensive IT management platform. Atera allowed the IT team to replace multiple manual updates with a single agent installation, saving significant time per laptop. The platform provided complete visibility and control over remote devices, enabling the team to automate manual and repetitive tasks. This automation reduced the open ticket count from 150 to 15, freeing up two team members for other tasks. Additionally, Atera's Open AI-powered script generator significantly reduced scripting time from 30 minutes to 30 seconds, further enhancing the team's efficiency. The implementation of Atera transformed the IT team's operations, making them more proactive, efficient, and collaborative.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
