Consulting - Manageability

As your company grows your reliance on IT increases exponentially and therefore frequently so do costs. Often as companies expand there is no plan or strategy for managing their IT assets and it becomes a free for all with large hidden costs in terms of productivity. The Etherlive team have managed environments with over 80,000 laptops and 20,000 desktops and know the pain points. We take a broad view across this area with the aim of driving down costs and pushing up reliability.

Intel® Active Management Technology (AMT) & Intel® vPro™

This is one of our specialist areas where we have industry leading knowledge having worked directly with the developers of the product. AMT is available on Intel® Centrino® Pro and Intel® vPro™ clients and offers new levels of capability in terms of security, manageability and asset management.

Remote Monitoring

Understanding what is happening in your environment is the first step to improving reliability and driving down costs. It often comes as a shock as to how much time is being lost on reboots, installs and configuration problems.

Asset Management

Do you know what IT assets your company owns? Where they are? What their configuration is? Who's buying equipment?

Standardisation

We all like the latest and greatest but have you looked at what it is doing to your costs? If you want to keep costs under control you need some degree of standardisation. You do not want three or four different operating systems, four different PC vendors and a multitude of application versions scattered across your company. Every time you introduce variety you push up support costs. You need to know where to draw the line between flexibility and cost.

Applying our knowledge to your environment can dramatically improve IT productivity and drive down support costs.
