The ICYMI Weekly Round-Up: November 13–24, 2017

Greetings. In case you were wondering, “ICYMI” is short for “in case you missed it.” And because of last week’s Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S., this is a special, two-week digest of recent news, events, and content in and around Ivanti and Ivanti.com. We hope you find it both interesting and useful. Let us know via email to [email protected] – and thanks!

This Week’s Big News: It’s in the Warehouse!

If your company manufactures or sells almost anything, there’s a warehouse that stands at the nexus of supply, demand, and customer satisfaction. Yet in far too many cases, the technologies that determine the efficiency and effectiveness of that warehouse’s operations are outmoded, inadequate, scheduled to be discontinued by their vendors, or all of the above.

Fortunately, as you’ll see in several of the blog posts mentioned below, there are ways to modernize those technologies and the operations they support without having to “rip and replace” incumbent tools, processes, or people. Check out those posts, as well as Ivanti’s solutions for migrating old apps to new platforms, improving employee efficiency with voice enablement, comprehensive device management, and more. You’ll soon see that The Power of Unified IT™ extends beyond your organization’s offices and remote knowledge workers.
