Ivanti spam software landesk

landesk is Ivanti launched the terminal management tool, which garbage in the garbage can not be uninstalled, the process kill, file deleted can not afford, do not advise you to install the software. A few days ago the company's IT department has been urging employees to install this software, I installed a moment of weakness, really regret it.
With this landesk uninstall tool can only uninstall part, and can not be uninstalled clean.

Ivanti: one of the oldest unicorn

I Pan Toutuo, now Chang An Avenue, Beijing Oriental Plaza, 1 W seat front desk. Face security inquiries, I Huangde one.

"Which company would you go?"

"Uh, the company name is Ah - where - not to mention, it should be Erwann mention ......?"

"I'm sorry sir, you said no upstairs company."

"Ah? No, ah! Originally called their company LANDesk, and now the English name is IVANTI."

"Oh, you're right British Wan Qi ah! Come in."

LaoJiangHu IT management services
at the moment sitting in front of us, is the general manager of Greater China, Asia-Pacific vice president Ivanti Tangqing Mao and Ivanti problems are constructed, two of the old world in terms of proven IT service and security management, has a very deep experience.

Originally, we met an honored place in Ivanti Interchange 2018 Customer Summit Chinese zone, however due to the day of departure flights were abruptly canceled scheduled interviews Ivanti Beijing Shanghai office is temporarily changed to be held a few days later.

Tangqing Mao said that in 2017 since LANDesk renamed, Ivanti has brought together integrated before its various brands and product lines, including Heat Software, Wavelink, Shavlik, Xtraction Solutions and AppSense and other world-class solutions, access to significant growth.

Corresponding thereto, is from the previous terminal management LANDesk Zhuanshan extends to the field of service management, asset management and security management. Undoubtedly, interspersed between the need to connect all of the products and, to this end Ivanti open a special interface, and provide their own application market, partners and other third parties can take to configure and connect.

Tangqing Mao said that because there is a lot of work to do, to rely solely on Ivanti and partners to develop these interfaces is not enough, therefore Ivanti be combined with Zapier, by providing an open API, to Zapier made a universal interface for connecting other IT products and applications.

Tang Qingmao introduced to a new generation of real-time diagnostic mode Ivanti cloud management like traditional Chinese medicine, "look and smell." Through the platform and the corresponding technology, enterprise IT assets are all to do with the immediacy of notification, as well as conditions.

Well, it in the end what effect?

Simple example. In today's enterprise, there are always some employees prefer to run unauthorized applications on the computer, such as DOTA, this time an administrator can issue commands in natural language, "under investigation at the moment who are playing DOTA", the system will be out on my own lap, gives a list. This time of just one: Kill All DOTA, all running DOTA will be shut down instantly.

Examples cited DOTA may be some amateur, but we can be extended to the more specialized application scenarios. For example, the technology can be used to check whether there is extortion software running on some machines, once found, the administrator can isolate the one hand, to protect the health of other machines, on the other hand to clean up the infected machine and repair.

For more than similar work physical machine, the industry can do a number of other companies, but the power of Ivanti that it can carry out a similar management and operation of the virtual machine. Tangqing Mao said that thanks to the acquisition of the company in 2016, AppSense, the founder of this company from VMware, they can do the industry one of the best virtual machine management.

More "excessive" is another one, "one of the best" virtual machine management company RES Software is also Ivanti into the arm. At this point, the virtual machine management areas had top two vendors, were Ivanti's fold, making Ivanti become in addition to Citrix, VMware and Microsoft, provides virtual machine management solutions for most companies.

Everything terminal
Tangqing Mao said that at present the industry is already Ivanti from the terminal to a virtual machine management, has done the most comprehensive of the company. Ivanti mission is very clear, namely: the "unified IT power" to help customers succeed in their respective markets.

In addition to traditional UEM (unified endpoint management solutions) and Security, Ivanti will include IT service management, IT asset management, identity management and many other content integration, can bring more value-added services for the enterprise, enabling IT's rapid transformation, the IT and business operations to achieve closer integration.

Terminal has moved beyond commonly referred to as laptops and mobile phones, Tangqing Mao believes that including the Internet of Things, including the Internet, everything is Ivanti deemed terminal, as long as it runs Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and other operating systems, are Ivanti there are ways to monitor and manage it.

Of course, Ivanti not immortal. Just as the 2,000 employees of a global company, Ivanti impossible to blanket, although nearly three years acquired seven companies, has been greatly strengthened in the technical aspects of speech recognition, artificial intelligence, but more often, Ivanti is together with the industry's top companies to do together.

Such as voice recognition in the country Ivanti chose IFLYTEK as a partner. In English, German, etc., Ivanti Heat can make use of their own technology, but in different markets, or to "ground gas", more technical aid to local forces.

Endpoint management is becoming increasingly complex, mainly due to more and more types of terminals, and across different operating systems and management. Starting in 2012, Gartner Magic Quadrant no longer launch terminal management, but rather focus on MDM (Mobile Device Management), which is an unavoidable trend, Tangqing Mao said.

As we all know, now not only mobile device's operating system, even Windows, Linux version of the update speed is very fast, so Ivanti also for the entire R & D team has been re-adjusted, no longer as in the past year could have a major version update, but a quick iterations on different time node.

Problems are constructed, he said many companies had operational management is decentralized, IT departments and the business sector is the separation of doing architecture of security and do almost nothing in common, but in the new era, companies must be based on the concept of unified management, unified architecture platform equipment, resource allocation and management. Only in this way, the company's digital transformation in order to continue to push ahead, innovative business before they can be implemented.

At the summit held in Shanghai, Crystal Branch Energy Holdings Limited - one in the United States listed on the NYSE's new energy photovoltaic enterprises, it introduced the "Out" way its IT services. The company's module shipments in 2016, by 2017 the world's first two consecutive years, repeatedly broke the world record cell efficiency, the reason why there is such a success, largely due to the support provided by the Ivanti information integration platform .

New trends in operation and maintenance management
At the same time, from the automation operation and maintenance has been irreversibly to the evolution of intelligent operation and maintenance.

Problems are constructed, he said originated in the office automation nineties of the last century, for the first time in the country will be pushed into the automated operation and maintenance of people's attention, but it also brings a lot of problems. One is the business process are welded shut, hard to change; the second is the technology is not mature enough, many of the practical needs of the business is difficult to get a timely response.

This situation continued for years, until the emergence of intelligent operation and maintenance.

The difference is that intelligent operation and maintenance, it can be a large number of duplicate original of daily tasks, through intelligent, automated tools for the job to be carried out and completed, will greatly freed management personnel, and costs have been effectively control.

Problems are constructed pointed out, operation and maintenance of automation and intelligent operation and maintenance of the essential difference is that the former is to create the processes and functions to mechanically doing automation, the latter is based on a unified big data, unified intelligent and unifying language, do the usual various considerations and decisions.

All along, Ivanti are working to bring these ideas and technology to China. From the perspective of operation and maintenance management, the current domestic level has been quite different compared to the past, but there are still a lot of room to improve, problems are constructed representation.

Tangqing Mao stressed, Ivanti products and solutions are not only suitable for medium and large enterprises. In fact, both are dozens of devices, or is it thousands of devices, you can take full advantage of and play a strong effect Ivanti, in particular, is a SaaS application model today.

Currently, Ivanti SaaS applications in foreign countries has been very mature, to serve a large number of Fortune 500 and countless small and medium enterprises, but in the country for reasons of policy, compliance, etc., Ivanti being and Ali cloud, cloud Huawei, Tencent cloud and other cloud service vendors to negotiate.

From R & D perspective, Ivanti standardization of basic products mainly to the main line, because all vendors will support standard, regardless of self-development, or also by means of OpenStack, was like that. At a deeper level, Ivanti will be configured according to different cloud providers, so that integration and adaptation to different clouds.

Tangqing Mao believes that the future of cloud applications is inevitable trend, but still there will be a gradual process of adaptation in China. For Chinese customers, Ivanti will provide the basis for current and Enterprise Editions. Basic Edition is like Office 365, you can use the installation; Enterprise Edition will add more customization and configuration capabilities to meet those higher requirements for enterprises.

He added that the foundation and Enterprise Editions are not simply correspond to small businesses and large enterprises. Many IT departments of large enterprises small scale, for them, the basic version is also quite enough.

From LANDesk along the way, the integration of the Heat, acquired a number of companies Ivanti, after a difficult, long period of consolidation, with more than $ 1 billion valuation, is inside jokes is "the oldest unicorn . "

As more and more Chinese enterprises to join the wave of the digital transition, Ivanti want to give them a more sophisticated, mature, diversified solution for more enterprise customers achieve their business digital transformation and innovative technologies needed service.

Picked up a U disk can ruin the entire company, the biggest threat is not a network but really stupid

any company's restructuring and integration seems will be accompanied by pain, but in early 2017, by the merger of LANDesk and HEAT software company made Ivanti, this type of pains but does not seem obvious.

We know that a 30-year history after LANDesk is a leading security solutions provider operation and maintenance, and the ability to integrate HEAT software, Ivanti also from the original operation and maintenance to a unified IT management, from one of the standing in technology companies, the growth of digital technology to provide solutions for a business enabler.

August 17, Ivanti company in Shanghai held Ivanti Interchange 2018 customers in China Summit, sharing a "unified IT" concept at the same time, demonstrated the ability to more fully serve the business of digital transformation in the digital age for enterprises enabling , Ivanti the power of integration as a faith.

Fast to integrate, Ivanti become the world's oldest Unicorn

From the beginning of January 2017, after the HEAT Software LANDesk completion of the merger, officially changed its name to Ivanti. In a unified conceptual basis of user-centered above, Ivanti completed the brand integration, bringing together the Heat Software, Wavelink, Shavlik, XtractionSolutions AppSense and other world-class solutions from the.

Ivanti vice president, Asia Pacific Tangqing Mao admitted that so many companies and products in the integration process will inevitably experience some pain, then Ivanti how quickly overcome cultural integration, technology integration and consolidation of the three major problems of staff it?

First, any company, the most difficult is the cultural integration. Because each one has a long historical background, they have formed their own culture. LANDesk has been 27 years, Heat has gone through 23 years of development, to integrate culture can imagine how difficult it is. Tangqing Mao said, "every employee of the former company's brand is definitely a plot, so we decided to solve the most important cultural issues, so Ivanti to position itself as a startup company, we have become the world's most innovative companies older, oldest unicorn. "

Indeed, with innovative thinking to do things, the development of enterprises in the eternal truth. Let people have innovative thoughts of leaving, adding innovative talents, reconstituting an innovative company. This is Ivanti, the world's oldest unicorn Birth.

The second is the integration of technology. One can imagine that every understanding of a technology company R & D is different, which in the long years of precipitation, also formed its own way of development and technical processes, which Ivanti for integration as difficult as cultural integration.

"We decided from the platform, from the most basic things started, to re-create the concept of a unified IT, original products and solutions reshuffle, rather than take the old product to do development." Tangqing Mao said. So Ivanti in the past year are not further big acquisitions, research and development is carried out in the run-end. This time customer conference, is a comprehensive release.

The third is the integration of personnel, in Tangqing Mao seems that when culture and technology to achieve integration, integration of personnel is the boats sailing downstream, naturally. And let Tang Qingmao feel happy that, Ivanti company in constant integration and reconstruction process technology, the core management team has been very stable. This also proves that the core competitiveness Ivanti is in the process of stable growth from the side.

Objectively speaking, regardless of brand Ivanti how to change, how to change the product, as long as the customer service ability is not lost, competitive technologies and products always maintain the leading position, Ivanti future is infinitely better.

Unified IT, creating integrated value

Tang Qingmao expressed, "Ivanti Interchange 2018 customers in China Summit, is a continuation of the process of global customer conference, and is the first in China, in addition to Ivanti products and solutions made outside release also demonstrates our platform capabilities, in China Ivanti have to cultivate their own ecosystem. "

It is understood, Ivanti business is mainly focused on providing value to customers in four areas: to help customers complete from a device-centric to transform IT management to user-centric; automation and protection; safety factors will be considered in all solutions digital workspaces; provide value-added services in the cloud. At the same time, Ivanti solutions are mainly distributed in: unified endpoint management, IT service management, safe operation and maintenance, IT asset management, and identity management these five areas.

Clearly, the benefits of doing so is that the original cross was dispersed in the integration of different sub-brands under the name of the major product lines, so that all products Ivanti to achieve a better integration in order to further create "a unified IT power."

The Shanghai summit, Ivanti there are several important publishing concern.

First released Pulse. Tang Qingmao its metaphor like "Chinese pulse, look and smell." In my opinion, Pulse should be an enterprise IT asset management platform. He may be the timeliness of reporting and feedback on the changes in corporate IT assets. Including all the assets of cloud virtual machine and terminal equipment.

Simply put, Pulse can know the status of all employees computer from time to time, and can control and transmit the desired configuration and modification, if a program is not being allowed the system can also be turned off in time. Such as ransomware invasion terminal, Pulse can respond in a timely manner and isolation, and then be repaired remotely, or even restart the terminal and reload.

It is worth mentioning that, GDPR implementation of Pulse operation mechanism will not be affected. Tangqing Mao said, "The biggest GDPR a focus is not allowed to store any personal information. So our main thing is to do the repair and prevention, not to keep any of the information stored in the cloud or on top of the terminal."

Second, is to support a unified IT, general manager of Greater China, problems are constructed Ivanti representation, "Ivanti not only unified IT, or unified platform. This 3-year acquisition of seven companies, Ivanti also from a $ 200 million, do to $ 500 million scale, because we acquired the technology, rather than the market. "At the same time, after the unified platform, as well as a unified ecological, such as the new release of Ivanti market Place create a new model Ivanti and partners win-win, Ivanti users, suppliers can come together to participate.

Terminal management, Ivanti security giant is not undervalued

From the Internet trend of globalization, as well as the tide of digital transformation in full swing, the network security to stand in the cusp. 2017 Global Network Security industry reached US $ 98.986 billion, an increase of 7.9% compared with 2016, more and more businesses to invest in IT security. This Ivanti, it is definitely a good news.

We know, Ivanti operation and maintenance management is not only a leader, but also an expert in the field of security.

Tang Qingmao will Ivanti security management, likened to peeling an onion. "Security system business is one of the onions, the outermost layer is a security software company in the block, then each layer to intercept the intruder, but Ivanti done is based on the core layer of security management device, which Although it is the most basic, but we most easily overlooked. "

Indeed, many vicious hacking incident was not because of how superb technology, and management of the terminal it is very hard to detect, problems are constructed also said, "often in an enterprise network, find the weakest point, it may affect the entire enterprise internal network. "the simplest example is the U disk, many employees later picked up a U disk, usually inserted to take back their own computer to try, this is actually just bypass all the corporate network defense layer disposed directly attack to the terminal. According to statistics, 75% of enterprises are such aggression, such as Singapore hospital was invaded, it is because a U disk.

Therefore, the purpose of endpoint security management, is to simplify these protective unified intelligent management, "Enterprise IT is not a panacea, many operating systems so that all terminals are difficult to manage, so Ivanti these protection policies in uniform platform to manage. the more complex terminal environment, unified platform to do more for management, the terms of reference given permission for the release of relativity. "problems are constructed he says.

It is understood that for IT security companies, Ivanti security suite from vulnerability / patch management, anti-virus / malware App to control and rights management, to the terminal / server security and safety, operation and maintenance processes of the four areas, for enterprises to build a multi-layered endpoint defense system. Whether ransomware, regional attacks, Patch Tuesday, or other security weaknesses, Ivanti security defense system can help companies to reduce the chance of being attacked and respond to threats from detection, response to defense, linkage, so that enterprises information security and regain the initiative.

The moment, endpoint security business is always underestimated, but it is actually secure enterprise IT modernization umbrella, is essential. With forward-looking strategies and outstanding execution capabilities, Ivanti in August this year once again been included in the well-known market research firm Gartner 2018 Nian "IT service management (ITSM) tools Magic Quadrant" Challenger quadrant. The advanced security and endpoint management, which is a very important part.

In fact, in the mobile Internet world and the future of the era of things, diversification and diversification of the operating system of the terminal, has given way to endpoint security management with high-speed growth of the soil, which makes Ivanti under the concept of a unified IT system, with the possibility of rapidly expand in the security field. For Ivanti, the consolidated result will not change its belief in technology, while always keeping innovative, Ivanti opportunity to force religion into service enterprises digitized.

Ivanti from EPM to UWM, administrator rights management can go up or down

Original link
when people have not yet fully recovered from WannaCry and Petrwrap event of an outbreak over the recent new round of new blackmail virus Bad Rabbit has swept many countries in Europe and America. Although compared to the previous two, the outbreak of the infection rate is not high, but it tricks, but can not be underestimated - disguised as an upgrade Adobe Flash installer, to lure users to install.

Unknown so a user clicks granted, would easily caught. For enterprises, a casual employees download and install, may make the entire company appears to fall short of a comprehensive security policy. It is in this context, the endpoint enterprise rights management has become a topic of growing concern. Indeed, when the general staff no longer have permission to freely install the program, that enterprise IT systems naturally be able to avoid many risks.

Recently, the well-known market research firm Gartner published its "endpoint with access rights management, reduce the Windows local administrator," the report pointed out that "to reduce access to local Windows administrators is to strengthen one of the most effective security measures, but taking into account the local access rights management and user experience is that many companies have failed to deal with a good puzzle, ban across the board, make the user experience a sharp decline, while the endpoint rights management (endpoint privilege management, referred to as EPM) technology, the provides the best solution for this problem. this technology also Ivanti interest and expertise.

Rights Management lift is equally important, not across the board

Why should we try to reduce access to the local administrator? Gartner in the "access with endpoint rights management, reduce the Windows local administrator," the report pointed out, "A lot of security risks closely with local administrator privileges. If the local administrator access being abused or misused, can lead to weakened security, data loss, high support costs and poor user experience and other issues, such as the implementation and dissemination of malicious software According Avecto carried out. "2016 Microsoft security vulnerability Research: to mitigate risk by eliminating user rights" is displayed, if canceled administrator privileges, you It can ease the 94% of Microsoft's major security loophole. "

However, completely remove the local administrator rights obviously does not work, will not only seriously affect the user experience (behavior severely limited), but also to increase the burden on IT administrators. So how do you take into account the local access management and user experience? EPM technology is committed to solve this problem, the idea is to control application access and local management, and ensure that only trusted applications to run, and run with minimal privileges. With EPM technology, companies are likely to achieve access to the local administrator to restrict or block, while ensuring that reduce the impact on end users.

"In fact, some companies treat EPM technology is more complex attitude: do then worry too strict rights management control, users are not satisfied, but also to increase the workload of IT administrators, any user install the driver, unloading and other small needs input also have to get an administrator;. do not do it and worry about the security risk is too great "Ivanti security experts Roach admitted that, for security reasons and to achieve respect, most of the current emphasis on EPM product providers down the right, that is strictly controlled authority, which is relatively easy to achieve, but it will certainly affect the user experience. Since permission is strictly controlled, and many have been forced to change behavior, the original access to the Internet may not now on, the original can install the software themselves, now we have to resort to IT administrators.

The Ivanti for EPM-enabled products Application Manager, there is a forward-looking design - not only down the right, but also help users to consider elevated privileges in certain circumstances. For example, an employee because of work requirements, need to be used in certain circumstances an application, then the administrator will be able to elevate privileges to the staff, the staff will be free to install this application, rather than across the board. This design allows enterprises fine-grained control, but also a good enhance the user experience.

From the "field" architecture, rights management and more comfortable

How do Ivanti authority is raised and lowered freely combine it? Roach pointed out that the biggest secret is in the Application Manager is not like the traditional architecture of some of the solutions must rely on Microsoft's "domain" but to carry out services individually. "Plus domain actually limits your function, you can hardly do the upgrade strategy. And there is no limit field, not only conducive to enterprise-wide management and control of users, but also a lot of expansion."

"We put the Windows policy research very fine, very thoroughly, what features it has, every field, every location services, we are well aware, then use our own code to control the activation permissions needed for this function. We account number and password can be entered in advance rights at a certain position, when the employee is the corresponding user, he can use from administrator to perform this task. "Roach explained, in short, is to put some of the Application Manager when permissions down to each operation went inside, a particular user is performing certain operations can be enjoyed administrator privileges.

But when these operations are completed, the user will no longer have the administrator privileges. "Application Manager from the Windows management of this domain, but also individually for each authority, each detailed entry has established a policy, equivalent to a Windows user policy overrides the host, you can have a grip on each host , you can let down his authority, may be going up on demand. "

And this series of detailed, independent strategy also makes the Rights Management Application Manager is not only confined to the traditional software control, but to achieve the level of the entire Windows system to control. Whether to change the date and time, set the font size, the resolution of the desktop background, or set up a printer, etc., can be access control and management. Therefore, it is a more broad-based than installing and using the software application scenarios.

User-centric, UWM is the future direction of rights management

"Of course, our Application Manager product not only for the Windows platform, also including Mac, Unix and Linux endpoints, which include the rights management and application control in two parts." Roach introduced before the Application Manager product, Ivanti have similar rights management strategy, but that time is for the host, not for user (user), such as no matter who is logged on to this computer one can use certain software, so that time is not the real rights management the complete program. The Application Manager is from the user point of birth, and before complementary products.

But Roach seems, come this far is not enough. "Now Ivanti also proposed a new concept, called 'User Workspace Manager', referred to as 'UWM'. As the name suggests, UWM still from the user perspective, but it is a higher level than EPM." Roach explained that the biggest UWM characterized in that the user identify the work scene. For example, there was a staff meeting to the second floor, allowing administrators to help connect the second floor of a printer, and so after he went to the fifth floor, fifth floor still need to connect the printer, the computer does not automatically connect to the nearest printer, which involves scene recognition problem. UWM will ask computer users have the ability to distinguish the work scene, in this case employees will have different strategies on different floors.

Another example is the system detects certain employees are design drawings, this time in order to prevent the leakage of the drawings, an employee can only access the server area, some software such as QQ has a transmission function can not be used. This strategy is not triggered in all cases, only specific users, only when using a specific application. It also requires the ability to identify the scene. "This ability to UWM is included on the basis of EPM, more demanding, more flexible a technology called environmental technology. In this sense, EPM in fact belong to a branch of UWM."

UWM Ivanti or both for the industry, it is a new thing, Roach said the road, Ivanti next year will focus on the force field, UWM launched a more complete solution that can better cover the user / endpoint rights management in the process of We encountered various problems.

Ivanti implementation of genuine software management Official Guide "trilogy"

Original link
influence people for cognitive psychology and habits, visible, tangible things in reality is often easier to get attention. In the enterprise IT management, people pay attention to the degree of tangible physical assets such as PC, servers, printers and other hardware, but also far beyond software and other intangible assets. However, with the enhancement of the protection of the domestic IT security awareness and awareness of intellectual property, enterprise software for the standardization of management is more and more attention.

Last year, led by the National Copyright Administration issued the "Notice on the issuance of" Genuine Software Management Guide> "(hereinafter referred to as the" Guidelines ") under the Inter-Ministerial Joint Office of the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Commerce and other members of the unit was formed to guide government agencies and enterprises at all levels to carry out the management of legitimate software, the "Guide" issued from the carding assets and establish a procedure to control and intelligent management optimization three dimensions to provide a more authoritative "genuine software management of major companies Methodology. "

However, there are still gaps between ideal and reality. We find that, although the methodology, but made more than a year under the "Guide", due to different industries, business conditions, including the existing level of management, staff organization, including software and hardware such as uneven foundation, its real implementation the difficulty it can be described as different. As an industry leader in software management, Ivanti combination of business problems encountered in practice, gives the corresponding recommendations for guidance and solutions.

Ivanti China's chief architect Roach said, "Guide" combines the leading domestic and international management concepts and processes, as well as domestic users, especially the characteristics of the financial industry and the departments and units to help enterprises, institutions distinguish clearly every software management process departments responsibilities, functions, covering each content-related workflows, very practical significance. If the business can truly implemented, it will undoubtedly be able to better promote enterprises to achieve standardized management software, improve IT management level.

Software management "trilogy"

Implementation of the "Guide" Although it is a relatively complex process that can involve every aspect of business, but the software management process in fact is still relatively simple, in Roach view, can be divided into data acquisition, process control and optimization of data analysis of three stages.

The first phase, the software license information collection, that is, "to find out the real situation." To find out what software companies already have their own assets, that is to have the software assets accounting, it is best to do it automatically aggregate, regular inspections. For more than medium-sized enterprises, to find out on hundreds or thousands of terminals and servers run what software, what version they are, obviously can not be completed by manual operation, like similar Ivanti provides automatic analyzer completely License automation can be achieved license information collection.

After the initial data acquisition, automation tools also enable consolidation of redundant information. For example, a vendor may appear the same software on different devices in different names, such as Adobe may be marked as Adobe.com, Adobe.cn or Adobe, but in fact refers to the same company; one software may have different after the upgrade version, some lower version to a higher version, the license can be reused, handmade collect such information may be missing the point. Information license information collection automation tool you can merge duplicate and accurate calculation using a range of licenses, there will not be missed.

With the help of automated tools, companies can quickly complete the "Guide" required "software legalization information Tables", "access to free software list", "Software Usage list" and fill out the information, saving time and effort .

The second phase of software management processes to control. Including application software, installation, registration, recycling, unloading management, are required for the process of controlled. For example, employees install any software application, to be confirmed by the corporate IT department compliance with relevant safety and regulations, and whether there are genuine license, then you can install if approved, which permits use; Again, companies purchased a total of 1000 a software license, any user after uninstallation, you can recover its license for employees to apply for. Roach said the industry will manage this way is called automated IT operations. Administrators can accordingly statistical verification software within the enterprise application installation and maintenance, software installation confirmation information maintenance, easy to complete the operation specified in "Guide."

In many cases, License itself, in fact, not genuine, piracy of the points, as long as the license number, is a string of characters, and pirated software is to the genuine software, like the one with exactly the same key. To solve such problems, can only contain the source, set the permissions to install and use the software, unified management and control by the IT department, and ultimately achieve full life cycle management of all enterprise software.

The highest stage of the third stage, but also software management, namely through intelligent analysis and optimization technology, the most economical and rational use of software licenses, cost savings for businesses. For example, at the user's existing IT environment, referring to the amount of use license every day, reasonable calculate the purchase amount of the second year, which weighed software license has expired, you need to renew, which is too low utilization, can be eliminated, and what software The total staff to apply, consider whether you need to add.

Intelligent optimization software management, it can really bring value to the enterprise. Many foreign assets equivalent to the software user will look at other assets, a strong sense of their genuine will to consider how their own savings License fee usually can help save a pretty sum of overhead. In contrast, domestic enterprises accustomed to extensive management software. ROI analysis of software licenses, has yet to attract much attention.

Must identify pain points, Ivanti provide full software process management solutions

Roach said that the different stages of software management, Ivanti has a corresponding solution. As the data collection phase, Ivanti desktop management "Software license monitoring" module (SLM LDMS), the user can intelligently assist software collect detailed information is automatically formed at the central accounting software assets, the system for data processing, automatic classification of the combined software information; in the process control phase, Ivanti "asset centric" module (ITAM-asset central), asset management analysis can be done of the ledger, the software installation, use, unloading and distributing intelligent control eliminate piracy; optimize the data analysis phase, Ivanti the "license optimizer" (LicenseOptimizer) can intelligently analyze usage license, make predictions and scientific decision-making, cost savings for businesses.

Of course, from a functional perspective, Ivanti solutions seem comparable with the Friends of the business plan, but careful comparison will find that, Ivanti is currently on the market, few can manage the whole process as a whole provides software solutions provider, coverage is very wide, in addition to the basic software for Windows software, Mac OS, Android, iOS and many other systems and terminals Jieke management.

In addition to similar products do not have the breadth, Ivanti on the product detail and depth of grinding, also has a unique advantage. Software installation rights of employees set an example, most of the products in order to ensure the safety of the system, across the board to abolish the use of certain types of software, but Ivanti the Application Manager can be done in some special scenarios, allowing users at ensuring the safety of elevate privileges, such as the need to use tools such as QQ file transfer employees, ask them to disconnect the core server and so on.

Of course, lifting weights and flexible strategy that only specific users will only occur when certain applications, it also means Ivanti solutions have the ability to identify the scene. UWM in EPM and solutions Ivanti provided in this trait more evident, in the most basic software to meet business users outside management needs, but also provide a more flexible and personalized management strategies.

By Ivanti systematic, careful, intelligent software management solutions, enterprises can not only protect the IT operation and maintenance of safety, reducing costs on software management, but also allows employees to get a better user experience. Roach believes that "Guide" to help domestic enterprises in the software release management sorts out a methodology from 0-1, taken a crucial step, and service providers such Ivanti will help domestic enterprises according to their own circumstances, solidly to implement this methodology.
