OpenColo DCIM Integration
How OpenColo replaced Nlyte, SOCOMEC EasyConfig, and Google Sheets tracking with Aravolta's unified platform - reducing tapbox deployment from 3 hours to under 5 minutes while eliminating 16+ manual steps.
We had this multi-hour process for every new tapbox including configuring SOCOMEC, updating spreadsheets, syncing between Nlyte and NEO, validating data across systems. With Aravolta, it's automated. What used to take an engineer three hours now happens in minutes. That's real time back for our team.
