Workplace Management Encompasses The Whole Lifecycle Corporate desktops, both physical and virtual systems, must be updated and maintained across the whole lifecycle. The lifecycle of a workplace includes software deployment and upgrades, patch management, remote control, backup and recovery tasks, user profile management and OS deployment. Self-Service Today s IT users order required services, hardware and software directly via an intuitive self-service portal where all requirements are integrated accordingly, from ordering services and products to requesting backups of userspecific data or opening a support ticket. The IT staff can use the adaptable workflow engine to easily map any approval and provisioning processes. Automation Automation is key to increased performance levels. IT executives define desired states in the Workplace Management module, rather than triggering job lists manually. Client systems and desktops are configured automatically, until the defined state has been achieved, for instance, in cases where a PC has to be set up for a new employee or if an employee joins another business unit and needs different software for his work. Consolidation Hardware and software inventories are the solid foundation that allows companies to collect all required information automatically. If, in rare cases, manual intervention is necessary, the integrated service desk allows the IT support staff to access systems remotely. Only a few mouse-clicks are required to fully restore a client system.
