"The LANDesk Software solution not only offered all the functionality we needed, it also required less training than competitive products, so it was by far the most cost-effective option." Other aspects of LANDesk Management Suite helped convince the LEITNER team of its merits. "It's important to us to have a wide range of supported languages," said Lainá. "Here in Sterzing, for example, we have both German- and Italian-speaking employees so PC client software needs to be available in both languages. That is the case with the LANDesk Software solution. The management tool can also be installed in English and German, which is very pleasing."

| Priority one for Tim Powers, is ensuring the overall health of the company’s network of 1,700 computers spread across North America. . Key to that responsibility is keeping all the computers patched with the latest security updates. “There was no way we could visit all the PCs at all the different locations to keep them up-to-date and protected against viruses and worms,” Powers says. “We compared almost every competing package out there and LANDesk® Management Suite is by far the best. It has given us the ability to keep our patches current, which we could never do before.”

"When the University Hospital Birmingham started the planning process for a complete migration of their network from Windows 95 to Windows XP, it was clear that a number of factors would have to be taken into account. The resulting success of the UHB migration project has become a reference site for the use of LANDesk Management Suite. Chilton emphasized the role that LANDesk Management Suite played in the process: "Without LANDesk Management Suite, we couldn't have achieved it. Well, perhaps we could have achieved it, but we'd probably still be working on it now!"

"We used contractors who took the machine out of the box, installed it on the desk, logged in, and added the machine to an active directory domain connected to LANDesk Management Suite’s application policy management feature. The contractor just put the workstation on the desk, installed it and walked away - he didn’t need to spend a lot of time there or have any specialized skills. Installation by hand would easily have taken a couple of months to do; that project was finished in about two-and-a-half weeks."

"Because not all our employees

licensing decisions based on head counts. We needed
a product that would give us real numbers and LANDesk ®

our software. Another benefit of an accurate workstation
count is that now we have a tool to prevent us from
buying unnecessary licenses."

"Initially
we estimated the Return On Investment to be from four
to six months; we've been able to get our money back
in two months because of a few large projects like
desktop replacement... We have over 40 locations in
our four states and in the past, a rollout like this
meant traveling personally to replace each desktop
and the applications. LDMS has saved a significant
amount of time and money. What used to be a 13-week
new hardware rollout for everyone in the company,
has now been done in 24 days."

users' PC screens, but also check the current configuration
of each computer. This makes it easier to identify
the cause of the problem — whether it's a newly
installed component or a recent software upgrade,
for example. We're saving a great deal of time as
