Using manual processes for Device as a Service (DaaS) delivery drives up costs, negatively impacts customer service, and introduces security risks.
Device lifecycle management (DLM) challenges grow exponentially as the number of endpoints increases. DLM
requires identifying user needs, supply chain management, configuring and deploying devices, resolving support requests, managing asset replacement /refresh cycles, and ensuring return and proper disposal of retired equipment. It also requires managing OS upgrades and patches, purchase/lease cycles, and more. Using manual processes for DLM increases workloads, shrinks margins, and introduces risks.
ReadyWorks orchestrates the entire device and software lifecycle management process including ordering, shipping and receiving, deployment, maintenance, XLA management, inventory tracking, decommissioning, disposal, financial reporting, and audit response.
Analyze data from all sources on an ongoing basis to get an accurate view of managed devices, usage, performance issues, lease cycles, security risks, and more.
Automate DLM logistics including gathering user requirements and matching them to permission levels and device catalogs, change management approvals, end user communications and scheduling, configuration management, deployment, support, OS upgrades and patch management, device returns, decommissioning, and disposal.
Automatically populate build sheets and task templates.
Improve DaaS program transparency and accountability by sharing auto-generated reports with stakeholders.
Achieve and maintain SLA and XLA goals.
