SCCM is a great tool for the operational IT tasks of software provision, such as packaging software deployments and executing remote installations. However, SCCM does not handle the entire software provisioning process from employee request, through multi-level approval and coordination of provisioning tasks across the organization. For many organizations, SCCM alone is not enough.
Is there a simple and easy-to-use solution to this problem that can be added on to your existing SCCM infrastructure? Vizor is a complete life cycle asset management solution which integrates tightly with SCCM, allowing organizations to capitalize on existing SCCM investment whilst streamlining the entire software provisioning process.
Here are some of the benefits to automating software deployments in SCCM with Vizor.
– Speedy software deployment. By utilizing Vizor, software can be deployed in SCCM automatically. The system will coordinate the entire deployment process for each software request that passes through, ensuring maximum efficiency and reducing the workload for IT. Vizor can even recommend what software each employee requires based on their role or current projects.
– Improved request & approval processes. When an employee needs a certain piece of software, they can request it instantly in the portal without having to wait to contact the IT department directly. For the IT team, receiving the request directly through the system eliminates paperwork and streamlines the management of requests. IT can then specify multi-layered approvals needed for different types of software, ensuring that all deployments are authorized.
– Increased productivity. Employees work efficiently and stay on track of tasks when requests can be sent and approved quickly. No time is wasted on waiting for IT approvals without the proper resources at hand.
– Shadow IT prevention. When end users sign up for online cloud solutions without IT’s permission, it can cause too much confusion between the organization’s licenses and personal purchases. Additionally, it is likely to cause doubles of certain cloud subscriptions, as there’s not enough structure and transparency to the request process. With a software request portal, each request goes through the necessary approval process, guaranteeing compliance and helping to eliminate software overspend.
