Following the formation of the Independent Business Unit earlier this year, we’ve been refocusing our attention on Ivanti Workspace Control. With the previous release being mainly focussed on maintenance, security, and performance improvements, this Workspace Control 2020 release will be our first major release since then. Workspace Control 2020 introduces several significant new features while also incorporating many of your User Voice requests (please continue to share with us).

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced a dramatic shift in the way all industries work, including warehouses within the supply chain. With each minute wasted—equating to a loss of revenue that many companies simply can’t afford in the current climate—productivity must be optimized. On top of this, businesses are mitigating the possibilities of staff becoming unwell and having to find last minute replacements, all while facing increased demand as online shopping continues to peak.

The demands on enterprise IT are set to grow exponentially. Edges. Many times, they represent an unknown—like the edge of space or a horizon for sea captains and pilots. And they give us mixed feelings—fear, anxiousness, direction, a sense of adventure. Most often, they represent a future state or location we are moving towards. For IT there is a new edge. The Edge of computing. The place where things and people are connecting with our networked digital world.

As the world moves towards the “new normal” on account of the pandemic, numerous adjustments and recalibrations have been made in all aspects of our lives, including the organizations we are part of. As businesses base their operations on a dispersed workforce beyond the corporate perimeter, IT teams have been the ones largely enabling this successful migration to home workspaces and further sustaining the remote network to foster productivity.

Class is almost in session, and this year will look very different than it did in years past. Depending on the state and district, school officials have decided to continue virtual learning or put safety plans in place for in-person learning. In any case, technology will be the backbone for successful learning in 2020. Schools’ IT departments will be integral in ensuring students and teachers have reliable devices and easy access to software applications to start and finish the year strong.

Thanks to your feedback in the User Voice portal, and our roadmap for the future of Ivanti Device and Application Control as discussed in the webinar earlier this year, we are pleased to announce the latest 5.2 release of Ivanti Device and Application Control. Hopefully by now you realize Ivanti is serious about making significant updates to the dedicated set of Ivanti products that form the Independent Business Unit. This content rich update is available for download now!

We hate waiting. In a world that somehow always seems to run short of time, nobody wants to wait. No queues. No delayed flights. We can’t even stand hold music anymore. (Hours of looped music to get my internet connection fixed? No thanks!)

We have unveiled several exciting announcements recently, from the launch of Ivanti Neurons to all of our strategic partnerships and integrations (see the details on Intel and Qualys). In fact, we have had so much content to announce that we've needed to create a whole new blog category! But this train is not slowing down any time soon.

In the life of a hardware asset, there is only one point when we know for sure we have what we purchased: When we first receive the asset. This hardware asset scenario reminds me being a little kid and playing catch with my neighbor. I would take a new baseball out of the package and throw it over the fence to him. He would catch it and then throw it back. Sometimes he would try to trick me and throw a different ball back over the fence: an old baseball, a softball, and one time a soccer ball.
