Microsoft Systems Center

Project Description

User Services is currently using LANDesk version 7, an outdated and unsupported application to obtain asset information and provide remote control support on the Chico domain for Windows-based desktops. LANDesk’s intended functionality proved ineffective at best in our pre-ITRP environment, and licensing and maintenance costs in general have become prohibitive (60K per year). We are in a risky position should the LANDesk server experience technical problems—loss of key data and support functionality would result. A fully functional and reasonably priced desktop management replacement is required.

User Services and Enterprise Systems have researched Microsoft’s System Center suite, and believe this suite to meet the requirements to replace LANDesk and implement server management within a single-console environment. Microsoft has combined their industry standard enterprise and desktop management applications into one suite of powerful tools, called System Center.
