In a nutshell

Attempting to reduce infrastructure provisioning time for its customers, the platform services team of this major mobile messaging and customer experience agency engaged Redapt to recommend and implement a strategic platform and tools that would replace a sluggish and outdated manual ticketing system.

The outcome
