LANDesk Celebrates 15th Anniversary of First Desktop Management Suite

In 1993, LANDesk introduced the industry's first systems management software suite that enabled the remote management of desktop computer systems. The suite contained asset discovery, inventory, remote control and software distribution capabilities, and was named the market leader in the new category by industry analyst group IDC.

This autumn, LANDesk is commemorating the 15th anniversary of this integrated software suite by holding a series of customer and partner celebrations, including the Gartner ITxpo and LANDesk Interchange events, launching a new corporate Web site, and sharing the company’s vision for the future with key external audiences.

LANDesk’s singular focus on customers’ real business needs and delivering easy-to-use solutions to meet those needs are key reasons why we continue to grow and expand.
