**About Kywi Commercial:**

Comercial Kywi was founded in 1943 and is a leader in the marketing of hardware, home, finishes, and construction materials in the Ecuadorian market. It offers its customers a different shopping experience, based on service, variety, and quality assurance.

## The Challenge

Their offices are spread across different locations and deploying patches was the most complicated task. Even when they scan and deploy patches, the bandwidth consumption was taking a toll on their IT costs. Their manual efforts were time consuming and made the task cumbersome.

## The Solution

Avila and his team realized bulk deployment for the entire system was the best way to go about tackling the problem. Endpoint Central played a major role in deploying patches at different locations with its specialised WAN architecture that enables distribution of patches from a distribution server.

The team was able to save bandwidth costs using Endpoint Central, which helps in downloading patches once to the server and reusing them any number of times without any additional consumption of bandwidth.

## Customer Satisfaction

"I decided for Desktop Central (now Endpoint Central) because it was the only one that offered me a fully functional trial with the correct support that helped me with all the problems and doubts," says Santiago Avila.
