Due to their flexible connection standards, hybrid docking stations are compatible with almost all notebook models and are therefore often preferred to their manufacturer-specific counterparts. Especially in large companies that have a mixed or frequently changing hardware landscape, hybrid docking stations help to make IT investments pay off in the long run. In combination with the Kensington DockWork™ software that is available free of charge, the IT department also saves valuable time on managing the docking stations.
