It has helped my job tremendously because it has cut down on the time it takes me to research and look for something. All I got to do is just reach out to Arlie. My name is Melvin Thomas. I've been with Prosperity Bank a little over six years. I work in the ID department, and my primary responsibility is the backup environment. So I work with Convo quite a bit. I was under time constraints. I didn't really have a lot of time to start digging around and going through knowledge bases and white papers and doing all that. I needed an answer right quick. So I decided to use Arlie, and I typed in an extra question. I had a technical question, and it actually gave me the answer I was looking for. And what I liked about that, it also provided a link to kind of confirm the information that it gave me. We're in the process of upgrading our CommCell version to 11.4.0, and there's an issue with Python. So instead of digging around, I asked Arlie about the question in Python, and it actually gave me the answer. It said which version I need to go to to address the Python vulnerability and the steps in the link to do it. I have cut down my case, opening cases, tremendously, because that was to the point where we were opening, like, several cases a month. I would say maybe five to six cases a month. Now we're down to literally zero or one, and that's all because of Arlie. I've made it part of my daily job activity, because if I have just a general question about a backup, a general question about anything related to CommVault, I always reach out to Arlie if I got any questions or any issues that I have any concerns about.

TL;DR

  • Prosperity Bank reduced monthly support cases from 5-6 to nearly zero by using Arlie for immediate technical answers instead of traditional knowledge base searches.
  • Arlie provided critical guidance during a CommCell 11.4.0 upgrade, identifying the correct Python version to address vulnerabilities with step-by-step remediation instructions.
  • The AI assistant delivers 99% accurate responses with supporting documentation links, building trust and enabling faster decision-making under time constraints.

Summary

Melvin Thomas, backup administrator at Prosperity Bank, shares how Commvault's AI assistant Arlie transformed his daily operations by providing instant, accurate answers to technical questions. Working under tight time constraints as the primary owner of the bank's backup environment, Thomas previously relied on knowledge base searches and support cases to resolve issues. After adopting Arlie, he reduced monthly support case volume from five to six cases down to nearly zero. The AI assistant proved particularly valuable during a CommCell upgrade to version 11.4.0, where it quickly identified the correct Python version needed to address a security vulnerability and provided step-by-step remediation guidance with supporting documentation links. Thomas reports 99% accuracy in Arlie's responses and has integrated the tool into his daily workflow for both general inquiries and complex technical troubleshooting, dramatically reducing research time and operational friction.
