The client was motivated to automate the invoice collections process to expedite invoice collections, ensure business continuity, and compensate for the shortage of staff during the pandemic.

ACL Digital, an IT service provider, was facing challenges in implementing process automation for its clients. The main hurdle was the misconception among clients that they would have to trade their legacy systems for new software, which raised concerns about security and protection of proprietary and customer information. As ACL Digital's Robotic Process Automation (RPA) services grew, it became clear that a better solution was needed. Many clients required multiple processes to be automated, which meant multiple bots were needed. However, the per-bot licensing models of the current vendors made this difficult. ACL Digital needed a scalable solution that would allow them to build a bot library and grow their process automation without requiring companies to spend more and change their legacy systems.

The Latin American construction market is growing at a CAGR of more than 5.4% from 2017-2027, driven by increasing demand for real estate and infrastructure. However, the industry faces challenges in maintaining project schedules and budgets, resulting in lower margins.

Decatur City Schools, a school district in north Alabama, has experienced significant network changes over the years. Initially, the district had no insight into the status of their network, relying on phone calls and paper work orders to manage issues. In 2003, they began using Intermapper for simple network monitoring tasks, such as checking the status of core services. However, as the network grew and evolved, transitioning from interconnected ISDN to fiber, and incorporating Cisco switches and Aruba enterprise networking software, the need for more comprehensive network monitoring became apparent. The IT team was tasked with monitoring 26 facilities throughout the district, with over 970 access points mapped out on a fully customized map. The network, comprised mostly of virtual servers, required constant monitoring and quick response to issues. Prior to Intermapper, problem-solving was a reactive process, requiring physical visits to server locations to identify and fix issues.
