Automation Audit · Durham
Automation Audit in Durham
An audit of the automations a Durham organisation is already running, which is invariably more than anybody can list. Flows, scripts and scheduled tasks accumulate across platforms, several perform work the business depends on, and a proportion of them stopped functioning at some point without anybody being told.
Why this comes up
The problem
Nobody has a list of what is automated, and at least one thing everybody assumes is happening has not run since March.
What you get
What we deliver
- A register of every automation found, across each platform in use
- What each one does in business terms, not in the language of the tool
- Run history checked, since silent failure is the characteristic risk here
- Automations tied to an individual's account identified before they leave
- Processes that no longer exist found, with their automations decommissioned
- Alerting added so a future failure produces a message rather than silence

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Automation Audit in Durham — common questions
- Why is silent failure the main concern?
- Because the work simply stops. A person who cannot do their job says so; an automation that fails leaves no gap anybody notices until a customer asks why they never received something, and by then it may have been weeks.
- What is the risk with personal accounts?
- Everything built on them expires with the person. Connections authorised under an individual's credentials stop working when their account is disabled, so a departure that HR handled perfectly can break half a dozen processes nobody knew were connected to it.
- How do you find automations nobody documented?
- By looking in each platform's own list and then asking people what they built. Administrative views show what exists across a tenant, but the scheduled script on a machine under somebody's desk only ever emerges from conversation.
- What happens to automations for dead processes?
- They should be switched off deliberately rather than left running. An automation still copying data into a system nobody uses is consuming licence capacity, creating records somebody may later rely on, and adding to the list of things a future engineer has to understand before changing anything.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
