More and more businesses of all sizes are dependent on a secure and well functioning IT network. The days of the LAN with a server room networked to a bunch of computers has gone the way of the Dodo bird. Businesses have people working remotely, spread across satellite offices, or on the road - making a secure and well functioning cloud-based network an absolute must. With Automox, IT admins have a recognizable impact on company success – and they sleep better at night. Automox's vision is "In everything we do, we aim to act." They believe in outcomes over alerts, automation over effort, and the strategic value of cloud-native IT operations in every organization.

REFERENCE VIDEOS: Here is one of Automox's favorite videos to reference for tone.

• NinjaRMM is Now NinjaOne - starting at the 15 second mark is very close to how they'd like to visualize features and selling points, without having to lean on a voice over too much.

Today’s Information Technology infrastructure is everywhere and anywhere – with modern workloads spanning multiple cloud environments alongside an increasingly distributed workforce. Keeping every endpoint continuously updated and secure is impossible unless management complexity is radically reduced. Automox is the cloud-native IT operations platform for modern organizations. It makes it easy to keep every endpoint automatically configured, patched and secured – anywhere in the world. With the push of a button, IT Managers can fix critical vulnerabilities faster, slash cost and complexity, and win back hours in their day. Join thousands of companies transforming IT operations into a strategic business driver with Automox.

Utilizing these assets, the goal of this project is to edit together a :30 video that highlights how Automox gives IT managers time back in their day, and additionally makes vulnerability detection a lot easier so there is less stress about emerging threats that enter the ecosystem. The video should also focus on the following selling points;

• The tool is easy to adopt.
• Time saving benefits. 
• Vulnerability detection. 
• Existing competitor tools for this are clunky and not as agile. 

 

In addition to the provided assets, the selected editor will have access to Storyblocks, Tongal's official stock footage partner, which will come at no additional cost.

For this project, once a creator is selected, they will be put directly in contact with the sponsor. All communication and feedback between both parties will run through the Tongal platform. Check out more information in the Background section, or ask questions here in the Project Forum.
