Keep the workflow dependable after launch

Name: Managed Automation Services
Brand: Automate Axis

Your systems, data and operating needs will change. Automate Axis provides managed automation services that help you maintain visibility, respond to failures and improve defined workflows over time. We agree the systems covered, operating measures, response arrangements and change allowance, so ongoing support has a clear purpose and an accountable owner.

Production needs continuing attention

A connection can expire. A source field can change. A model update can affect a response. A workflow may run successfully while failing to produce the business record that someone expected.

Managed support is useful when:

Staff depend on an automation but nobody clearly owns its maintenance.
Errors are discovered through a client complaint or missing task.
A growing volume creates more exceptions or higher usage costs.
Changes to connected systems repeatedly interrupt the process.
The team needs a reliable route for improvements and technical decisions.

What managed automation can cover

Monitoring and exception review. Observe the agreed execution and outcome signals, identify failed or incomplete items and route them to the responsible owner.

Incident triage. Assess impact, contain the affected behaviour and coordinate the agreed recovery or manual fallback.

Maintenance. Review credentials, dependencies, connector changes and relevant platform notices within the contracted scope.

Controlled improvement. Prioritise minor changes, test their effect and release them through an agreed change process.

A monthly operating review. Compare workflow performance, spend, incident themes, review effort and adoption with the baseline and agreed objectives.

Establish a support boundary that works

The service schedule names the supported workflows and systems, expected event volumes, coverage hours, response targets, included effort and escalation contacts. It also explains what counts as a defect, a minor improvement or a separately scoped change.

Automated monitoring and staffed response are different capabilities. We specify both where relevant. Response targets apply within the contracted coverage window; restoration can depend on third-party providers and the nature of the incident. A tested manual fallback helps your team continue when an automated path is unavailable.

Illustrative workflow · configured around your systems and agreed scope

Take over with evidence

Assess the current workflow. Review ownership, documentation, access, dependencies and known failure modes.
Establish the operating baseline. Agree the outcome signals, priority levels, costs and support responsibilities.
Prepare recovery and change controls. Verify alert recipients, pause/replay behaviour, approvals and runbooks.
Begin the service cycle. Review exceptions, maintain the agreed scope and prioritise improvements from actual operating evidence.

Review our delivery approach

Support the business outcome, not only the execution log

We distinguish an attempted run from a correctly completed job. Where the system permits it, checks compare expected records and actions with the actual outcome. Changes to prompts, models, mappings or permissions are evaluated before release; retries must respect duplicate prevention and existing approvals.

Your process owner remains responsible for business decisions and priorities. We provide the technical service defined in the agreement, coordinate with your platform owners and keep decisions and limitations visible. Client data, production access and retained logs follow the agreed handling arrangements.

Review value as well as reliability

A monthly review can show completed and failed work, exception age, manual corrections, service effort, platform spend and the next improvement decision. Low usage or poor economics may call for simplification rather than more features. Expansion should follow demonstrated usefulness.

Pricing depends on the estate, complexity, volume, incident exposure, coverage and improvement allowance. We confirm the service boundary and ongoing cost before commitment. Platform subscriptions and usage are separate unless the proposal includes them.

Questions about managed automation

Can you support workflows built by someone else?

Potentially. We begin with an assessment of access, architecture, documentation, licensing and current condition. Remediation or rebuilding may be needed before an ongoing support commitment is appropriate.

Is support available around the clock?

Coverage is defined in the service schedule. Continuous automated alerting does not imply continuous staffed response. We agree a support window and fallback that fit the workflow and the available service capability.

Are improvements included?

The agreement defines the included change allowance and effort. Larger integrations, new workflows and material changes to data or authority are assessed and priced separately before work proceeds.

What happens during a serious failure?

We follow the agreed incident plan: contain affected actions, preserve evidence, contact the named owner, invoke fallback and verify recovery. Relevant contractual and legal notification responsibilities are addressed with the authorised client contacts.

Who owns the accounts and workflow documentation?

Ownership and access are stated in the contract. We favour client-owned production accounts where practical and provide the agreed documentation and handover, while identifying any licensed or pre-existing components.

What if we end the managed service?

The agreement sets notice, outstanding work, access removal and handover responsibilities. The exit process should leave the client with the materials and operating information to which they are entitled.
