Business Need
In modern computing, employees can have difficulty finding necessary information for them to effectively troubleshoot an IT issue. Employees need to manage massive amounts of information about their machine hardware, installed software, and intranet web services to submit service requests, acquire warranty policies, and much more. Microsoft IT wanted to improve quality of service for end users as well as reduce costs for IT infrastructure and personnel support by providing users with all relevant information and services in one place, rather than forcing them to search for it or call for support.
Solution
Akvelon successfully built the Microsoft My IT Application. The application leverages design that goes outside of Windows Store application sandbox to retrieve and deliver detailed environment information. HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript deliver liquid design in Modern style to showcase the power and flexibility of Windows. The application can use various data sources: local machine, web sites and services, databases, push notifications, and others to provide users with personalized IT dashboard.
