Logistics & Deployment Upon ordering new systems, the first questions you’ll be asking will be around how they will be deployed and if it can be done in a productive manner. To avoid a torrent of support problems when those systems arrive, we configure them in advance for you. We set everything up according to your specifications at prior to shipping to your location.

Mobile Device Management (MDM) Whether employee cell phones are owned by the company or not, if they contain company information, they should be secured and managed. Your company must be able to remove its information from personal cell phones when employees leave the company, and you must be sure that any smartphone, tablet, or laptop is secure enough so that if it is lost or stolen, company data is secure. This is the purpose of Mobile Device Management. Our Mobile Device Management (MDM) services offer the ability to enforce end-user policies on your hardware and shield your business and client data from leaks. We deploy best in class MDM software to manage all of our clients’ remote device security needs. In case of device loss, theft, or employee departure, we can secure or remote-wipe devices as needed.
Hardware Asset Management and Security System tracking is an absolute necessity for security. Whether it be a server or PC that’s hosting a phone system or backup software, laptops that come and go, or old computers that were just kept around, these systems could host important company information and older data, and could easily go missing without being noticed. Additionally, systems that are not tracked are not receiving software and security updates, and could compromise network security by providing easy access for hackers. For all these reasons, systems must be tracked during their entire lifecycle, to ensure they have the latest security updates and company security policies.
Professionally Trained & Experienced Staff Having supported the leading competitors in finance, law, non-profit, and education spaces, we know how businesses struggle with limited IT budgets. However, it would be a big mistake to assign inexperienced and unequipped staff as hardware asset managers. Doing so will only put your costly hardware at increased risk of damage or loss, especially when issues arise that require a professionally trained and experienced hardware asset manager. You’ll only be adding to your costs, while doing nothing to improve your overall IT system’s efficiency. With us, you can leverage over 25 years of solid experience in hardware asset tracking experience to manage your hardware without taking unnecessary risks, complicating your situation, or increasing your hardware costs.
Reduce Costs and Improve Employee Productivity While collaboration platforms may have received the bulk of attention, device purchasing has changed markedly too. Lower the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for devices across their lifespan by optimizing processes for selection, acquisition, provisioning, deployment and disposal. Boost employee satisfaction and heighten productivity by onboarding technologies that align with your operations and workflows. Relieve time and pressure by greatly reducing the number of calls to the Help Desk and enabling the IT team to focus on strategic aspects of the business.
