Do your IT managers have the ability to rapidly deploy new server and desktop systems?
Organizations utilizing manual processes to deploy servers and desktops, (i.e. having an IT administrator install programs by physically running programs directly on client computers) are incurring high costs of maintenance, and are subjecting their IT systems to unnecessarily high risk of human error. Without a robust deployment mechanism, the total cost of ownership for those expensive assets increases and your total return on investment decreases, while the complexity of the environment to be supported increases.
Not only are these organizations paying unnecessarily high costs, but they also are at a significant competitive disadvantage. There are measurable business consequences – poor response to customer needs, increased time-to-market requirements, and loss of productivity while end-users await deployment.
