CDW: Software Reseller Reduces IT Workload by 90 Percent With Cloud-Based PC Management

CDW provides end-to-end technology solutions. Many of its midsize customers had unmanaged PC environments because of cost and complexity concerns, and CDW wanted to provide a simple and cost-effective solution. In early 2011, the company began offering Windows Intune, a cloud-based PC management solution that companies can use to update software, protect PCs from malicious software, and track inventory - all from a single console. With the subscription-based solution, CDW customers can take advantage of the option to standardize desktops on the Windows 7 Enterprise operating system and adopt PC management technologies that were formerly available only to large organizations that use on-premises solutions. CDW benefits from new revenue opportunities while its customers benefit from reduced costs, streamlined IT workload.
