System Administration

Effective deployment and ongoing management of IT assets is a complex challenge, often involving significant manual effort, cost, and risk associated with change. But the benefits of achieving standardized systems are significant. It has been shown that the total cost of a well-managed Windows XP desktop is 36% lower than the cost of owning an unmanaged desktop.

Despite the cost savings, many organisations don’t know where to begin. How can they effectively manage complex IT environments?
