Muse Automation Savings and Benefits
| Customer Activity | Description | Current Challenge | Muse Solution |
Automation Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SLA Reports | Create reports for regulators and customers to show that services meet their SLAs | Done manually monthly for large customers (1/2 day per customer) | Customer SLA report can be performed in minutes | Reduce effort from days to minutes & extend to smaller customers |
| Bulk Network Configurations | Configure multiple ports or network entities | Multiple CLI commands per port by skilled personnel | Bulk provisioning workflow | Better use of valuable skilled staff, eliminate human error |
| Software Upgrades | Verify if all parameters are correct and monitor the upgrades | Limited time for checks and upgrades inside the maintenance window | Workflow to validate that network is ready for upgrade | More upgrades per maintenance window |
| Root Cause Analysis | Find the root cause of failures or alarms | Manual sequences to sectionalize the root cause | Muse RCA feature | Higher availability and CSAT |
