The ease of Zero Touch Deployment (ZTD)

Remember the days when you had to prepare each new device for use manually? First, you had to install an up-to-date master disk on each device, second you needed to complete the directory bind and after that, you had to configure each user individually. That took up a long time of your work, didn’t it? Luckily, these days you don't have to do this anymore, you can rely on Zero Touch Deployment. In this blog, we will explain what ZTD is and how it can benefit your IT team and organisation.

What is Zero Touch Deployment?

The name "zero touch" says it all. With Zero Touch Deployment you can easily configure and prepare many devices from a remote location, without a technician having to do anything manually. Through an online management platform, you can perform all installations simultaneously. Very convenient for your IT team, but also the end user. They can get started right away based on their credentials.

Is Zero Touch Deployment safe?

ZTD certainly is a secure solution. Each device is registered on your management platform. From the moment a registered device connects to WiFi, an identity check is done based on the credentials. If the credentials are correct, the platform checks whether a new configuration is required. If so, it performs the reconfiguration, and the device is up-to-date again. It is crucial for the security of the device. Furthermore, you can choose which apps are allowed to be installed on the device and which are not. This makes it easier to keep control of the different devices in your organisation.

What are the benefits of Zero Touch Deployment?
