Novell ZENworks Desktop Management

Quick ROI and Lower Costs

Pays for itself in record time. Novell ZENworks® Desktop Management reduces desktop total cost of ownership (TCO) by helping make resources more efficient. IDC research shows that it increases the efficiency of the entire IT staff.

The most expensive part of owning a network is managing and maintaining the desktop infrastructure. With ZENworks Desktop Management, companies can keep costs under control through Policy-Driven Automation, which dynamically manages desktops and laptops based on user and device identities. Only ZENworks provides this unique identity-based management to eliminate IT effort and give IT staff consistent, highly automated management, regardless of device location.

With ZENworks Desktop Management, administrators can comprehensively manage groups, users or entire business units while still maintaining personalized work environments for individual users. They do this using Policy-Driven Automation and profiles that automatically deliver resources tailored to the personal needs of each user or group, based on their business roles. As a result, users are not tethered to a specific desktop or laptop; they can access their work environments and applications from any device, wherever they are.

By capturing critical administrative knowledge and embedding it into the network in this way, ZENworks Desktop Management makes the network self-managing. Management routines are automatic and transparent, so user productivity is unimpeded and IT effort is eliminated. As a result, companies that use ZENworks enjoy significant return on investment (ROI). In fact, IDC research shows that ZENworks pays for itself in as few as three months and cuts user downtime by an average of 73 percent. It reduces desktop total cost of ownership (TCO) by improving enterprise-wide resource efficiency, increasing IT staff efficiency by 42 percent and increasing IT management staff productivity by 45 percent.
