Business challenge

One of the primary services that Auxility provides as an MSP is patch management of client's networks. As an organization with a team of over 30 people managing various clients' IT, Auxility had to handle a few challenges in patching the complete network of numerous customers.

Discussing the MSP IT network, Senior Consultant Jurgen Barbieur said: "In most of our clients' systems, server workstations are Windows-based, while some are Linux-based. For all, it is necessary to ensure up-to-date patching of every endpoint.".

Jurgen, being one of the senior consultants within the IT team, oversees the overall MSP infrastructure, focusing mainly on patch management and managing system security to ensure consistency in updates for software versions and patches across the organization. These responsibilities prompted Jurgen to seek a holistic MSP IT management process to automate and perform centralized patch management for all client endpoints from a single location.

The search for a complete MSP endpoint management solution

The Auxility IT team required a dedicated MSP endpoint management solution to tackle the IT challenges of service providers especially in terms of patching. A key requirement was the capability to automate the patching process with minimal human interaction.

The Solution: Endpoint Central MSP

Employing effective time management processes is essential for MSPs to manage patching and updating client endpoints, servers, and workstations. Endpoint Central MSP simplifies the process at Auxility significantly by improving productivity and ensuring greater IT security in all client networks.

The main benefit is that patch management is largely autonomous and further automation such as monitoring can be custom-built further. Once the setup is complete, the only necessity is a regular checkup. It can be scheduled outside business hours, and results can easily be reviewed from the reports Endpoint Central MSP generates. This approach of semi to complete automation enables the Auxility IT team to have confidence in the patching process as part of all the other important tasks they do. The solution, designed exclusively for MSPs, delivers diverse patching capabilities for Microsoft products as well as numerous third-party applications.
