Sharjah Municipality has expanded its contract with LANDesk Software with the purchase of 100 additional licenses to help the organization remotely manage its network of hundreds of computers, located in over 30 sites spread across Sharjah and the east coast.
Following the launch of LANDesk Management Suite 7 in May this year, the municipality has also upgraded its existing licenses to the new version.
Sharjah Municipality, one of the oldest civic bodies in the country, serves the needs of residents spread over a wide area. As such, it delivers services to the public through offices in scattered locations. The municipality's centrally-located IT department is tasked with providing support to its network of 500 plus computer users, said IT Consultant, Sharjah Municipality, Ibrahim El-Miligi.
“With the municipality growing and the number of users increasing, management of both the user information and the IT assets became demanding. The inventory couldn't be kept up-to-date even after physically visiting those sites almost every month,' he said, adding that the procedures, in addition to being cumbersome, also failed to deliver the required results.” Said El-Miligi.
Intertec Systems, Expert Solution Provider (ESP) for LANDesk Software in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), is currently involved in the deployment of the 100 additional nodes.
US-based LANDesk Software is a provider of integrated desktop, server and mobile device management software. LANDesk Software enables thousands of organizations to deploy and use end-to-end desktop, server and mobile device management solutions. — (menareport.com)
