Automatic seat management: a new “easy button” for Trello Enterprise
Monitoring the digital infrastructure of an enterprise is critical to business success, and as a busy enterprise admin putting out fires across your organization, every second counts. A recent study has found that “58% of organizations say their IT team spends more than five hours per week fulfilling repetitive requests from the business.” This has a huge hit on morale and majorly contributes to admins burning out, as the same study found that “90% of respondents say that manual and repetitive IT tasks contribute to low morale and attrition in their organizations.”
