Managing IT infrastructure can already seem like a daunting task for a small set of devices, but it becomes even more challenging when you consider the increasing speed of software update cycles or the mere scope of a modern workforce. From ensuring seamless application deployment across operating systems to maintaining regulatory compliance, IT administrators face numerous challenges daily.
This is where Faronics Deploy steps in, offering a comprehensive solution to streamline your IT ecosystem management. Let’s explore how Faronics Deploy empowers IT teams with robust features tailored to meet diverse organizational needs.
Consolidating IT support
The biggest struggle for IT support is that they often don’t have one streamlined overview of all the devices within their organization. With more employees working on everything from smartphones to tablets, it’s not as easy as it used to be unless you pull your inventory into Faronics Deploy.
Whether you’re running Windows or macOS, deploying agents is a straightforward process. But it’s not just about installation — it’s about customization. With Faronics Deploy, you can configure user profiles and organization settings to align with your organization’s hierarchy and employees’ needs.
Need to tweak accessibility or security settings? No problem. From dark mode preferences to region-specific time zones, Faronics Deploy ensures a tailored experience for every user. You can even require two-factor authentication or enable ticketing organization-wide for more secure and streamlined operations. Moreover, administrators can easily manage permissions, such as granting full privileges to limited administrators for specific sites and applications or restricting access to certain device groups.
That can be handy if office workers that run daily support tasks shouldn’t have access to their managers’ or HR’s files. Every organization will have slightly different requirements, depending on the industry and organizational structures, and Faronics Deploy adapts seamlessly to cater to the needs of each company — from healthcare facilities to retail operations.
Creating configurations for device or user groups
Configuration management is at the core of Faronics Deploy’s efficiency. Whether it’s deploying power management settings or customizing firewall configurations, Deploy simplifies the process with its intuitive Action Toolbar. You just choose the device, select “Apply configurations” and configure your set of rules, be it just for your sales team or the entire company.
At Faronics, we’re constantly working on more fine-grained maintenance features. As a result, you’ll soon be able to personalize even a device’s wallpaper or system font. With ongoing enhancements, Faronics’ platform is evolving to offer more customization options.
For IT workflows requiring multiple steps, such as renaming computers or disabling Cortana, Faronics’ extensive library of custom scripts comes to the rescue. These scripts enable administrators to execute intricate tasks seamlessly across multiple machines, enhancing operational efficiency.
Defining technical rules with Windows or macOS policies
Compliance and regulatory needs are non-negotiable for modern organizations. Faronics Deploy simplifies compliance management with its robust policy creation capabilities. Whether it’s defining update modes, scheduling software updates or configuring notification settings, administrators have granular control over policy parameters.
Your IT staff can even define rules for password protection requirements or policies around unauthorized uninstalls — all features to help you comply with current legislation.
Moreover, Faronics Deploy allows organizations to manage applications and updates efficiently across different offices or user groups, ensuring compliance even with regional regulatory standards. So, if your German office needs to use a different cloud storage vendor or video conferencing software to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you can simply define a new user group and weave those changes into the policy.
Inventory management made easy
Understanding your IT inventory is essential for proactive maintenance and troubleshooting. Faronics Deploy provides a comprehensive overview of your current inventory, so your IT staff never has to ask themselves about the number of application licenses needed or how many devices need to be updated.
Faronics Deploy lets you glance at your current inventory, allowing administrators to filter machines based on various criteria. Whether it’s grouping machines by department or identifying devices with specific software configurations, it equips your IT teams with actionable insights for efficient management and even crisis response.
Faronics Deploy is more than just an IT management tool. It’s a catalyst for organizational efficiency and productivity. By simplifying complex IT workflows that used to take days, if not weeks, Faronics empowers IT teams to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of technology with confidence. Not only that, Deploy supports your team with unparalleled customization options — at scale.
