New Year, New Workflow: From Overwhelmed to Automated

Episode 21   Published January 6, 2026 15 minute watch

Summary

The biggest time savings in IT come from eliminating small, repetitive tasks that consume hours every month, not from large strategic projects. That's the case Automox solutions consultant Jeremy Maldonado makes in this episode. Worklets and Required Software policies can prep a new endpoint the moment it comes online, pushing installers and configurations instead of hand-prepping each machine. Best practice policy templates give a new team a working patch policy out of the gate, and a patch age filter lets one policy test day-one patches on a pilot group while the rest of the fleet waits a set number of days. The Policy Results report and the Patch Impact and Performance dashboard surface failures so you don't have to babysit patch day. Jeremy ties it to a New Year's resolution: automate the routine and get your time and mental energy back.
