With hybrid work continuing to be the norm, managing employee devices has never been more challenging. IT teams are constantly balancing priorities to meet the demands of changing work environments while boosting productivity and improving the employee experience.
As many as 87% of companies include employee experience in their IT performance goals, but many don’t have the resources to cover the increased challenges created by remote work situations. The time spent on managing devices and supporting users – regardless of location – competes with delivering on strategic IT initiatives.
With this in mind, HP Inc. announced new solutions that simplify and automate device management tasks, giving IT more freedom to focus on what’s important for their business and their employees. Its comprehensive portfolio of hardware, software, and cloud-based services, empower employees with innovative technology to help them stay productive, connected, collaborative, and secure – wherever work happens.
“The future of work is now. IT teams are the heroes of today’s new working environment empowering employees to work from anywhere,” said Sumeer Chandra, Global Head and General Manager, Personal Systems Services, HP Inc.
“HP’s new management solutions are automated and scalable for the evolving ways people work. HP Adaptive Endpoint Management is the gold standard for managing PCs in hybrid working environments, to help ensure devices are secure, up-to-date, and fully supported.”
For IT who wants to modernise and automate how they manage PCs, HP Adaptive Endpoint Management is a fully-managed service that helps IT managers send PCs directly to employees with zero-touch deployment. In less than an hour, employees can get to work quickly by simply unboxing their Windows PC and signing on with one-click, where their suite of applications automatically installs, making device setup fast and hassle-free – all without having to interact with IT.
The solution also frees IT from day-to-day PC management. With the help of HP service experts, the service automatically provisions PCs with Microsoft Autopilot and enforces security policies from the cloud.
“HP is helping customers take advantage of true enterprise mobility by removing barriers to cloud management adoption,” said Nicole Dezen, CVP, Device Partner Sales Microsoft. “HP Connect for Microsoft Endpoint Manager gives the modern device administrator more control over HP specific device features by leveraging Microsoft Graph API for Intune. This demonstrates how new services and applications can be made possible through Microsoft Intune platform extensibility.”
HP Cloud Endpoint Manager is a cloud-ready solution designed for IT who want a better way to deploy and securely manage thousands of HP Thin Clients, all through a modern and intuitive interface. Accessible from any location from a web browser, the solution helps IT prioritise their day with customisable dashboards that include metrics and analytics to keep them up to date on deployments, device compliance, and server health. It also equips IT teams with real-time alerts to quickly identify and resolve issues while also saving them time through the automation of repetitive management tasks.
HP Adaptive Endpoint Management is available now, while HP Cloud Endpoint Manager is expected to be available for download in January.
