enteo Net install

Distributing software to the desktops, laptops and servers in a company involves more than just packaging all different types of software and adapting it to ensure it meets company standards. It also involves automatic installation on target systems and efficient deployment of software to remote or poorly connected locations and mobile users.

In addition to an effective infrastructure for the automatic transfer of software packages, a unified management system is also needed to combine the implementation of enterprise-wide standards with the flexibility to make adjustments at the local level.

Only a complete solution that integrates all the necessary tasks will enable you to ensure that individual process steps are carried out correctly thereby guaranteeing the currency and availability of your IT system.

How IT departments and businesses benefit

enteo Management Portal

 Software, operating systems, and configuration settings for individual users and computers constantly need updating and reinstalling because of technical problems and changing individual requirements. If your IT staff is to react quickly, then they must be able to carry out all the tasks involved in PC lifecycle management instantly and efficiently. Every minute that users are unable to work because their computer is out of action or doesn’t meet their requirements costs your company money.

The only way to bring these costs under control is to minimize your IT support staff’s response times, streamline their processes, and give them the tools they need to deal with outages quickly and adapt computers to individual users’ requirements in the shortest possible timeframe.

How IT departments and businesses benefit

 
Less downtime
Desktops, laptops, and servers spend significantly more time online, thanks to better individual support and fast, effective issue resolution.

 Reduced support costs

It also ensures that you can continue to leverage your staff’s existing knowledge and rely on tried and tested processes.

enteo Inventory
Standardization and strategic sourcing are the order of the day when it comes to cutting IT management costs. In order to make the right decisions you need current, complete and – most importantly – correct information about the hardware and software components used in your organization, including those in remote locations. To ensure a rapid overview and quick decision-making, you need a reliable system that provides specific answers to specific queries. Only then can you get the quick, accurate information you need to plan hardware and software purchases, check the status of security-critical applications on your network or deal with user problems caused by misconfigurations or insufficient system resources.

How IT departments and businesses benefit

You’ll always have the latest information on all hardware and
software components. Identification of the precise version and
the automatic categorization of hardware and software facilitates
standardization, strategic sourcing and license management
projects.

well as virtual computers – all of your IT assets, local as well
as remote ones, can be identified. Thus you have all the information
you need to make the right decisions.

product range, so it can be integrated quickly with existing
desktop and server management tools and procedures. It also
ensures that you can continue to leverage your staff’s existing
knowledge and rely on tried and tested processes.

enteo Operating Systems Deployment

Defective hardware, the expiration of leasing agreements, and even routine upgrades can often result in the complete reinstallation of desktops, laptops, and servers. In fact, experts estimate that such reinstalls affect 33% of all devices in corporate environments.

A manual installation on even one PC causes a significant interruption to its user’s work so, for large-scale roll-outs, automation is absolutely vital for safeguarding productivity and keeping IT staff’s workload at manageable levels. Furthermore automation enables you to implement operating system standards while installing.

Unless the entire process can be automated, costs can be enormous, both in terms of the number of IT department man-hours and lost productivity.

enteo Operating Systems Deployment

enteo Reflect

IT outages are a real problem for any business. The reasons for them are many and varied, ranging from defective hardware to user error. Whatever the cause, companies need to do all they can to prevent them from occurring and resolve them as quickly as possible when they do.

Rapid access to servers, desktops, and laptops network-wide and also to terminal server and Citrix sessions is absolutely vital. After all, every minute that an employee is prevented from working by an outage costs their employer money.

These costs can only be prevented by accelerating your IT support team’s reaction time in the event of an outage, minimizing the amount of work they need to do to resolve problems and giving them the tools they need to identify and resolve issues

How IT departments and businesses benefit:

 Less downtime
Desktops, laptops, and servers spend significantly more time online, thanks to proactive support built around early identification of problems and fast, effective issue resolution.

 Cost savings, minimal training requirements
enteo Reflect works seamlessly with all other enteo products so it can be integrated quickly with existing desktop and server management tools and procedures. It also ensures that you can continue to leverage your staff’s existing knowledge and continue to rely on proven processes.

enteo PC Relocator

The “user state” comprises all the files and settings created by an end-user.There are few standards for storing user state information, which means that saving or transferring it is only possible with a great deal of difficulty. The resulting difficulties in backing it up can mean a real danger of data loss.

According to IDC, 60% of corporate data is stored locally and is, consequently, not being backed up. The rise of the laptop is another significant factor in this trend. The complexity of the problem becomes increasingly apparent during planning for migrations or equipment replacement operations. The time and trouble involved in restoring user data after a migration or equipment upgrade is often enough reason not to carry out the procedure.


 Shorter reation times, faster restores
The complete automation of the entire user data backup and PC customization processes means you can delegate tasks to support and service staff. This enables you to act faster and ensures that devices are offline for less time.

 Minimal manual adjustments
Thanks to the patented analysis and transformation of user settings, you no longer have to write complicated scripts. This saves you time in preparing and performing migrations.

 Reduced number of calls
As new devices have the same user environment as old ones, users no longer have to call IT helpdesks.

 Fully-automated, secure enterprise-wide migrations
Rule-based software allocation means that automated operating system installations can be carried out quickly and easily across entire enterprises, at night or on the weekend if required.

 Cost savings, minimal training requirements
enteo PC Relocator works seamlessly with the rest of the enteo product range, so it can be integrated quickly with existing desktop and server management tools and procedures. It also ensures that you can continue to leverage your staff’s existing knowledge and rely on tried and tested processes.
 
enteo Security Patch Deployment
The stability and availability of applications and operating systems in your company is in danger, whether it’s from hackers, viruses or software errors. Despite the huge volume of patches appearing on the market, you are still expected to keep track of them all. And not only do patches need to be distributed throughout your entire network, they must also be checked for dependencies and thoroughly tested. If you don’t manage to do all this, it’s not just individual PCs that will be affected; it’s the stability and availability of your entire network.
 
How IT departments and businesses benefit

 Up-to-date, stable systems with minimal risk
The centralized patch library, comprehensive patch tests and automated patch packaging process speed up patch deployment and minimizes the risk of human error.

 Short reaction times and achievable Service Level Agreements

It also ensures that you can continue to leverage your staff’s existing knowledge and continue to rely on tried and tested processes.
enteo Extended Workflow Support
Any IT environment is constantly changing, but making changes to existing systems always involves a degree of risk to the stability and availability of the IT infrastructure. Regulatory requirements – and common sense – dictate that these risks must be minimized.

To do this, you need a comprehensive and properly documented testing procedure that enables you to simulate every stage of the planned changes separately. Only then can you be sure that there will not be any unforeseen consequences when you implement the changes in the production environment.
 
How IT departments and businesses benefit

 Improved availability and stability
Comprehensive mandatory test processes minimize the risk of unforeseen consequences when making changes to the IT environment.

 More efficient packaging
