Process Manager
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
