PING INDEX : DECEMBER 1997 CONTENTS : OPENVIEW DESKTOP & S/W MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
D. Organization Adaptability Every organization has users that need a complex computing environment and those that need a simple, uniform environment. The HP OpenView desktop and software management solution adds value by managing both in a single enterprise. For example, "lockdown" technology - which limits a desktop's capabilities to a specific set of tasks - can be very effective in the uniform environment required by such users as bank tellers, manufacturing floor managers and customer-care staff. However, those same restrictions actually can reduce the ability of knowledge workers - such as engineers, sales and marketing staff, and company analysts - to do their jobs effectively. HP's desktop and software management solution is intended to adapt to all types of users whilst providing IT departments with the tools to manage and support the organization's desktop environment effectively. |
