Problem statement
- Fragmentation and inefficiency
- Multiple separate software packages
- Increased administrative overhead
Before implementing Endpoint Central Cloud, the organization faced several IT management challenges related to fragmentation and inefficiency. They relied on multiple separate software packages to manage client devices, distribute software, and deploy system images. This scattered approach made IT operations more complex and time-consuming, requiring our team to switch between different tools for routine tasks.
Tembo Group’s IT department aimed to centralize all endpoint management tasks through a single platform. They sought one unified control point to manage client devices, deploy software and ensure systems remained updated with the latest patches efficiently.
Patch management was identified as a critical priority for Tembo Group. The IT team required a reliable and efficient solution to monitor and apply security updates consistently across the entire environment. This was essential to maintain regulatory compliance and significantly reduce vulnerabilities.
"Endpoint Central Cloud has improved the productivity of our IT team by consolidating multiple tools and processes into a single, easy-to-use platform. Previously, managing endpoints required switching between different solutions for software deployment, patching, and device management, which was both time-consuming and inefficient."
- Gerjan Kalter, Application Administrator, Tembogroup B.V.
The solution
Patch management has significantly enhanced Tembo Group’s ability to keep systems secure and up to date. The platform enables efficient monitoring, approval, and deployment of updates across all endpoints, reducing vulnerability risks and ensuring adherence to internal security policies.
Remote control capabilities have become invaluable tools for the IT team, allowing them to provide swift, effective support to users regardless of location. This has improved responsiveness and minimized downtime, particularly when on-site assistance is not immediately feasible.
Endpoint Central Cloud’s integration with Active Directory allows Tembo Group to efficiently synchronize users and devices, streamlining endpoint management in alignment with the organizational structure. This Active Directory integration facilitates easier policy enforcement and more organized management across multiple departments and sites, all unified within a centralized management interface.
The user-friendly and well organized dashboard allows the IT staff to perform their tasks more efficiently without having to switch between different platforms or tools.
