Automated processes for deploying laptops and peripherals are essential for increasing productivity in today’s business world. With the rise of remote workers, companies must be able to quickly and efficiently deploy new hardware to employees, regardless of their location. This process can be challenging, as it requires the coordination of multiple departments and vendors.

Your objectives

For workers to be successful, the correct hardware must be delivered to the right employee as quickly and efficiently as possible since delays or mistakes can cause costly disruptions to the employee’s workflow. In addition, the process must be secure because hardware can house sensitive data.

To create efficiencies, lower costs and reduce human error, you want automated solutions that get laptops and peripheral equipment to staff as soon as possible. You need a streamlined and efficient asset deployment process. By managing the process centrally, you can quickly get equipment to your employees – no matter where they’re located.

Automated processes also support security best practices, with full visibility over the entire asset lifecycle via a comprehensive tracking system. From ordering through an IT Service Management (ITSM) integration to completing asset retrieval, your onboarding system must ensure that all new employees have everything they need to get started efficiently and securely.

And to lock in your ROI, you want to maximise the value and usage of the IT asset by ensuring that it can be deployed to another employee in the future.
