What does the name "Ivanti" mean to you?
Ashtyn Creel
When we rebranded the company in 2017, we chose a name with essentially no meaning. Whereas companies like Staples and Target are also nouns—you can use staples on a target—the name Ivanti does not belong to anything else. No one is saying, "Please pass the ivanti" or "That ivanti really brings out your eyes!"
And if they are saying either of those things, walk away slowly.
With the meaning of Ivanti up for grabs, we asked our customers what Ivanti means to them. As usual, the Ivanti Insiders did not disappoint. Here are some of our favorite definitions.
"Ivanti means easily managing the chaos of everything: Information, Virtual, Access, eNdpoints, Ticketing, and Identity (IVANTI)."
