LANDesk Solutions Offer Strong ROI: IDC

LANDesk Software, a provider of systems lifecycle management, endpoint security and IT service management solutions, has announced the results of a commissioned Return on Investment or ROI study conducted by IDC, a well known research firm.

Named ‘Gaining Business Value and ROI with LANDesk (News - Alert) Software: Automated Change and Configuration Management,’ the new white paper by IDC analyzes how the products offered by LANDesk help in automating IT change and configuration management processes.

Providing innovative products that enable enterprises to control end-user computing with the help of a single console, light infrastructure and ITIL solutions, LANDesk allows them to achieve significant ROI.

IT organizations have to consistently update, patch and relocate their PCs in order to maintain their productivity, and most of the people surveyed during the IDC (News - Alert) study said that they were facing a number of issues in managing the diversity of desktops, laptops, servers and mobile devices in their organizations.

It was revealed in the IDC ROI study that the customers of LANDesk who invested in purchasing its solutions achieved 698 percent ROI within a period of three years, which is around seven times than the initial investment; while they were able to recover the same within a short span of just 5.1 months.

“Overall, the analysis demonstrates that automating manual processes is critical to reduce costs and simplify IT complexity,” commented Mike Hall, senior vice president of sales and marketing at LANDesk Software. “IT executives need to do more to control the management of new desktops, servers, and particularly the ever-increasing variety of mobile devices. LANDesk solutions help IT provide greater business value, even as their IT environments rapidly increase in scale and complexity.”

Additionally, the enterprises who participated in the IDC study sponsored by LANDesk also achieved a number of other benefits by leveraging the solutions by the company. These include around 41 percent increase in the productivity of the IT staff on an average that was realized by engaging their valuable staff resources for more business-related initiatives

In October 2010, LANDesk Software announced the latest versions of LANDesk Management Suite 9 and LANDesk Security Suite 9. The management of mobile devices is a major component of this new release, enabling organizations to instantly discover, secure and manage smart mobile devices on a corporate network through a single LANDesk management console.
