Changes for IT Managers.
Today's IT managers need to be multi-skilled and are less and less seen as a means to solve hardware and software problems. They are no longer on an island, but now have a role within other departments. This development creates new challenges for IT managers. The wishes and requirements for IT on the shop floor are changing and expectations are rising. IT managers are no longer expected to support the core business in IT, but rather to play an advisory or even leading role in which they take the lead. They must take into account the requirements of all departments, but the space to analyse, evaluate and honour all perspectives is still often lacking.
What if ... ?
What if an employee loses a device? What happens if an employee leaves the department? What if employees need to upgrade? Or what if an employee's device is stolen? These are all situations that IT managers may face in terms of device management. In many organisations, this still represents a disproportionate amount of work time. In addition to managing individual devices, it is important to capture and secure sensitive company information. If a device can no longer be found or if it cannot be locked remotely, access to it must at least be blocked. It should not matter whether the data is stored locally, in the cloud or accessible via a connection to the company's own physical servers.
Modern Endpoint Management to the rescue
So how can desktops, laptops, tablets and mobile devices be deployed and managed more cheaply, quickly and efficiently? Modern Endpoint Management (MEM) allows all employee devices to be managed from a single location, making IT managers' jobs easier. It allows organisations to monitor, manage and secure all employee devices to ensure device performance and security. This is a great solution for IT managers to centrally manage all devices without relying on multiple systems.
