On January 30, Ivanti announced its new product and solution focus areas, programs, and strategies—all in all in an effort to ensure customer success. Read the official press release here. As part of this re-affirmed commitment to customers, Ivanti formed an Independent Business Unit that consists of a dedicated set of Ivanti products and services with the single purpose of pleasing its customers through providing long term value.

A report just came out from Ivanti which revealed that 43% of IT professionals are still tracking IT assets in spreadsheets. It also illuminated the fact that nearly one third of IT professionals are spending several hours per week supporting out-of-warranty assets. Let's take a closer look at some of the survey's findings, which were also mentioned in this blog.

Ivanti recently polled approximately 1,600 IT professionals in order to gain deeper insights into how IT assets are managed within organizations. Here are some of the survey's findings.

As part of the re-affirmed commitment to customers as announced on January 30, Ivanti launched an Independent Business Unit (IBU) consisting of proven solutions with a large customer following (dare I say: fans?) that deserve some TLC. The dedicated team hit the ground running by launching a long-anticipated product release of Ivanti Workspace Control just days after the announcement of the Independent Business Unit. You can sure say we take our commitment to heart, and so we should!

Since virtual desktops became a thing, this debate has continued pretty much in the form that I laid out there.

The blog talks about the drivers of software asset management (SAM) and why SAM needs to be included in your ITAM strategy.

2020 has arrived. Most companies are striving to become digitally transformed, business applications are moving to the cloud, and day-to-day IT operations are becoming more mobile-oriented with executives using a diversified range of devices.
