Don’t Feel Like Scrolling Through All This?

You could read through 97 FAQs… or you could just ask us directly and get your answer faster than a rogue stealing from an unlocked chest. Spoiler: we’re friendly and way more fun than a wall of text. And its free!! 🎉

What do we need to have in place before starting an automation project?
Sure thing! Take a seat and buckle up for an inventive spin on that somewhat snooze-inducing response: Before diving into the automation ocean, let's make sure we've packed our essentials, shall we? First up, you’ll need the Watson to your Sherlock – that’s a fancy way of saying executive sponsorship. These folks are your wayfarers guiding the ship. Then, dust off those ancient scrolls of company processes (okay, maybe just well-organized flowcharts) because they’re your map through this adventure. On to our experts – these trailblazers of workflow knowledge might as well be the Yodas of your galaxy. Don’t forget to check your tech deck – basic info about your systems and data structures is like the compass in this treasure hunt. Success criteria and business objectives? Consider them your holy grail. While it isn't a strict prerequisite, a sprinkle of change management magic won't hurt. It helps when the villagers (your employees) are slightly more “yay, team robot!” and slightly less “nope, that’s witchcraft!” Don't stress if your luggage is missing a few items – our incredible automated methodology has you covered for any of these gaps. Like a sleek Transformer, we adapt, improvise, and make automotive miracles happen. Our most vital luggage item? A zest for improving your biz-nation through strategic automation adventures. So grab your hat and your whip a la Indiana Jones – let’s make business magic happen!
Who owns the automation solutions after implementation?
So, who’s the big boss of the shiny new automation solution once it’s been installed? Spoiler alert: it’s you! When it comes to platforms like n8n.io, Make.com, or Zapier, you own all those snazzy workflows, configurations, and customizations we whip up for you. For the custom-developed charms, the rights are on a sleek delivery express right to your corporate doorstep — fully yours after payment, of course. We even throw in the full set of blueprints, complete with source code, configuration files, and enough documentation to quell even the fiercest IT dragons. Sure, a lot of clever folks like you keep us on a retainer for a sprinkle of ongoing support and a dash of enhancements, but the ball is squarely in your court. No strings attached unless you want them. In the wise words of a certain Marvel universe web-slinger: “With great power, comes great responsibility.” Your newfound power lets you tweak, manage, and automate to your heart’s content – safe in the knowledge that what’s yours is, well, yours.
Do you provide documentation for the automated processes you implement?
Do we offer documentation for our automated processes? Oh, you betcha! But let’s not just offer documentation; let's roll out the red carpet for it. Imagine our documentation is like your favorite blockbuster superhero flick: we’ve got action-packed process flow diagrams, epic technical architecture sagas, and user guides that feel like they were ghostwritten by your tech-savvy best friend. Need something more behind-the-scenes? Our administrative manuals and API blueprints are like the director’s cut—revealed secrets galore! Feeling puzzled about testing? Fear not, we’ve got test cases and results clearer than a Netflix recap episode. For the visual learners, our training materials come with enough video tutorials to rival a streaming service binge session. And because we know technology is as dynamic as the plot twists in your favorite TV series, we keep our docs as flexible as a rubber band—easy to update and always current! For those intricate projects where things get more tangled than a bowl of spaghetti, we offer documentation management systems that ensure everything's organized and accessible, like that magical Mary Poppins bag. With Inventive, documentation isn't just paperwork; it's a loyalty card to peace of mind, enabling you to go further effortlessly.
How do you work with our internal IT department?
We know the struggle is real when it comes to getting on the same page with your IT peeps. But don't worry, we've got this. First things first, we find out who's who in the tech zoo and set the stage with a few simple ground rules—communication that doesn’t make you eye-roll, and knowing who to call when your server decides to go rogue. While we're vibing with IT, we make sure to respect all their sacred processes while still keeping a cheeky eye on what the business actually needs. Think of us as the Robin to your Batman, ready to tackle system architecture, security concerns, and all those techy roadblocks. Hand in hand, we'll co-author the saga of your IT adventure, complete with plot twists like integration escapades and infrastructure tales. Ever wondered why your IT team looks like they’ve just been handed a plot of Shakespeare when reading system documentation? Not with us around. We document everything like it’s the next bestseller and drop in some knowledge transfer sessions that are more interactive than your average board game night. Feeling in the mood for a little extra IT geek-out? We've got those special training sessions too, where your IT crew can learn the ropes of new systems like pros. Whether we’re taking charge of the tech circus with IT as the ringmaster or playing sidekick, we'll flex to fit your style. It's your show; we’re just here to bring the sparkle and ensure everything aligns with your tech dreams. Because, after all, in the world of IT, "One does not simply walk into a tech implementation."
How do you measure the success of automation implementations?
Ever found yourself lost in a whirlpool of spreadsheets, wondering if your automation initiative is more "Slow and steady wins the race" or "Houston, we have a problem"? Worry not, dear adventurer, for at Inventive, we've turned the fine art of tracking automation success into a blockbuster production worthy of an Oscar. 🎬 We kick off with some good ol' fashioned detective work, establishing success metrics as crisp as a freshly printed contract. You tell us your wildest dreams, and we’ll whip up quantifiable measures that’ll have you shouting "Eureka!" faster than Doc Brown can say "Great Scott!" We're talking about slicing those pesky process cycle times, putting error rates on a much-needed diet, chopping labor hours, capturing cost reductions, boosting throughput, and calculating ROI with the flair of a Vegas showman. But hey, automation is not all about numbers. It's also about those warm fuzzies—making customers smile wider than the Cheshire Cat, giving employees the keys to Happiness Island, and gifting your business agility that’d make a gymnast jealous. Before we hit "launch," we make sure to jot down some baseline measurements because what’s a before-and-after montage without an impressive "before"? Once that rocket's in flight, we set regular check-ins to see whether we’re closer to landing on the moon or Mars. And, courtesy of built-in tracking mechanisms that James Bond would envy, we can generate reports that keep you in the loop more religiously than any daily soap opera. Then comes the pièce de résistance: the business value review. It's like the part where the hero triumphantly reveals that, yes, they can save the day. Here, we toast to your victories with all the fanfare of a royal parade and strategically plot out the sequel (because there’s always a sequel). So, join the Inventive journey where measurement isn’t just methodical, it's spectacularly entertaining and every metric leads us to silver-screen worthy outcomes! 🌟
