Desktop Deployment Services
The purchase of new PCs and their deployment can account for a significant part of a company’s IT budget each year.
Those businesses that settle on a standard desktop and laptop configuration save a significant part of their budget because the deployment and ongoing maintenance of those assets can be streamlined and require less effort to support them.
Standardisation
The benefits of standardisation are obvious however, in Certero's experience, very few small to medium organisations have standardised their PC layer to the extent where they achieve operational efficiencies. Many organisations believe that purchasing 'cloned' or 'white box' systems will save their company money. These savings however are quickly offset by the work required to install them and the cost of supporting diverse hardware platforms. Certero believe that standardisation is the key to delivering a successful PC rollout.
Flexible Approach
Managing a PC rollout is always a challenge but can be especially difficult for the growing number of businesses that now operate 24/7. This kind of activity will always present difficulties when the lights need to stay on and therefore needs to be scheduled very precisely in order to minimise disruption to both the business and the staff it employs. Certero are flexible in their approach and can arrange a rollout at a time most suitable for your business.
Not only can Certero help you successfully deliver your PC rollout but we can help you deliver it well within expected timescales and budget. Certero offers services and consultancy for all aspects of the PC lifecycle.
- Automation
We employ automation techniques to improve the efficiency and quality of your desktop rollout. This includes automated computer names, bios settings, configuration and domain membership, reducing the time to deploy new desktops significantly. For just a few days of our time you could save thousands of man days, helping you to reduce costs in both projects and day to day operations. When you combine our desktop deployment services with AssetStudio™ Software Delivery, your desktop rollouts can truly become a one touch operation. - Defining Standards
By performing a full infrastructure review we can highlight the areas where standardisation and cost savings can be achieved. For example, looking at your application set and determining which are suitable for packaging and automated installation. - Desktop Design &
