Endpoint Manager (formerly LDMS)
Ivanti Asset Intelligence, powered by Landesk, discovers what hardware and software exists in an organization’s environment, tracks usage, and identifies areas where IT assets can work harder. The solution helps IT reclaim unused licenses and reallocate software to reduce IT spend. Plus, with compliance management software, IT can share timely information with auditors verifying compliance to ensure software audit survival.

Benefits to Cypress Fairbanks
Reliable patch management and remote control
With more than 700 software packages, Cypress Fairbanks can push out software, updates, and patches to computers from a central point.
720 Hours Saved every Quarter
Historically, IT would have to visit all 54 elementary schools to install new testing software each year. Now the team runs an update job automatically overnight and at week’s end.
Accelerated, simplified Windows 10 migration
Cypress Fairbanks employed the Ivanti imaging process to migrate all student laptops to Windows 10. IT finished early.
Ability to monitor migration progress
During the rollout to Windows 10, the IT team used Ivanti Xtraction to display rolling statistics on a 70-inch monitor in its operations room.
