Customer Success: Travelport Centralizes Management with Altiris IT Management Suite from Symantec

ohzone | 23 Apr 2013 | 0 comments

Travelport needed to improve visibility into its environment. Prior to implementing Altiris, IT could see how many endpoints were on the network, but had now way to really manage each individual system from a single location. To address this problem, Travelport implemented Altiris IT Management Suite (ITMS), which allows Travelport to have a single view into its environment and makes it possible to manage each individual system centrally. To learn more about how Travelport is using Altiris ITMS, including Altiris Client Management Suite, Server Management Suite, Asset Management Suite, and Symantec Workflow check out this video: http://bit.ly/YRctqu

Endpoint Management Future is Secure

ianatkin | 21 Mar 2013 | 0 comments

Good news from Symantec CEO Steve Bennett has arrived in the form of a Customer and Partner letter.

The important bit for us is that Endpoint Management is explictly listed as being a critical part of the Symantec portolio moving forward. This is something which was not clear in the previous company strategy annoucement.

He closes by saying,

"Despite any rumors to the contrary, all of these technologies remain a critical part of our product development and overall portfolio. We believe that through greater alignment of these technologies, Symantec will improve our product integration to help you improve and simplify your end users’ IT experiences"

I'm blogging this out as I know there are many Altiris Administrators out there who will let out a huge sigh of relief on this one.

Kind Regards,
Ian./...
