Desktop Management
What is Desktop Management?
The desktop computers, laptops and notebooks which exist on your organization’s network all fall under the category of ‘Desktops’. While the servers make up the heart of a network, the desktops make up the muscles and senses. They’re how information reaches the network and where the results are made available. Depending on the size of your organization and the particular work being undertaken, you may have just a few desktops on your network, or you may have thousands. Every organization’s desktop needs are unique. Desktop management is made up of the following four steps:
Analysis of your organization to determine your desktop requirements,
Design of a desktop solution that will ensure those requirements are met,
Implementation and installation of that design, and
Adaptation and Maintenance of the implementation once installed.
Why is it important to your business:
Desktops comprise the principal means for information to travel into and out of your network. The four stages mentioned above each help to ensure that the desktop solution created for your company is complete, correct and efficient.
Analysis ensures that all necessary information about your organization is considered. A proper technical analysis, business process evaluation and inventory of your present equipment will identify what gaps, problems and requirements your desktop solution needs to address.
Design ensures that all of the concerns and issues identified during analysis are properly addressed. Through a robust, well-planned design, you won’t just see what the problems are, but you will also uncover a solution which answers those problems. A properly planned design will also include scalability and room for growth.
Implementation ensures that the correct equipment is put in place in the areas where it will best serve your organization. In addition, each workstation is configured correctly to allow information to be managed and shared over your network according to your company’s needs. Most importantly, your desktops, laptops and notebooks have the installed software necessary to give every member of your organization the tools they need to move your company towards its goals.
Adaptation and Maintenance ensures that once the right solution is put into place, the necessary work is done to keep the solution healthy, current, and responsive to the changing requirements of your organization. This can include providing your systems with current software licenses to keep everyone using the software that best meets their needs, and making sure that those systems are kept secure, backed-up and fully operational. Also, as your organization grows and changes, comprehensive desktop management ensures that your needs are consistently met, and that your expanding workforce can always have the software and systems ready and available when needed.
