WHAT WE DO
Automation StationTM
Automation StationTM (AS)
Automation Station is a Lentech COTS product that provides customized automation, integration, and reporting functionality. It seamlessly attaches to any website (such as webTA/GovTA or Atlassian JIRA) to provide various capabilities including (but not limited to):
-
Importing/exporting data into/out of disparate systems
-
Transferring files (such as import/export files) across a variety of protocols (HTTPS, SFTP, etc.)
-
Creating custom reports that can pull data from different systems and consolidate the results into a single rolled-up report
-
Performing any repetitive task in an automated manner (e.g., feed Automation Station a datafile and it will perform a predetermined set of steps upon every record in that file on the website to which Automation Station is attached)
-
Providing a virtual API for any website to get data into/out of the system to enable integration with other systems (for example an API could be implemented that consumes SOAP/REST or simple web requests to allow for the automated/programmatic creation of leave requests in a secure manner without any risk of PII breach)

Importing/Exporting
Automation Station can retrieve data from any source and process it in any customized manner or generate any set of data and send it to any destination. For example, it could connect to an SFTP server, retrieve a data file, and import the data as a series of work schedule data. Or it could construct a list of employees that used LWOP and post that data to some other website. Any business task that requires moving data from one system to another can be accomplished via Automation Station.
Automation
Lentech specializes in designing automated solutions for tasks that unnecessarily consume labor resources. These solutions can then be implemented into Automation Station to reduce employee workload and thereby reduce costs.
Comprehensive Support
Your maintenance agreement includes testing and updates for every new release of the website to which it is attached (e.g., webTA/GovTA or Atlassian JIRA). As the underlying systems change, so will Automation Station in order to ensure continued functionality.
Custom Reports
Automation Station can pull data from multiple disparate systems and create a consolidated report and then post or e-mail that report as required.
Example: pull data from 3 different systems, consolidate/collate that information into a single custom report, and then email the report to a series of people based on an automated schedule (e.g., the first Monday of every pay period).
Virtual API
Automation Station can function as middleware for the website to which it is attached and provide programmatic access to that site.
Example: if you need to securely and programmatically/automatically feed leave request data into webTA/GovTA, Automation Station is the missing piece that can make that happen.
