ManageEngine Desktop Central

As your company grows, so does your need to manage your software infrastructure better. Different employees will require different programs which must be made available, but also kept up to date. Surely, all of this is usually handled by your IT department, but keep in mind that it can be a bit overwhelming for a few people to troubleshoot and keep evidence of every word processor, spreadsheet app, presentation program, time tracking tool, database utility, internet browser, and operating system (just to name a few).

This why your IT department (and your system admin, specifically) needs a way to centralize all these problems, but also handle them in an efficient and timely manner. One way to do this is by using a web-based application called ManageEngine Desktop Central.

Described as an “endpoint management solution”, ManageEngine Desktop Central allows admins to control multiple aspects of you company’s software infrastructure. From the program’s interface, they can deploy software directly on the company’s computers, but also install patches and assist employees through remote control. They can manage various assets and configurations, but they can also control company smartphones and USB devices.

Not all the aspects have to be taken care of by a single admin, as many roles (with various privileges) can be assigned within the application.
