300 users, IT staff of 2. Need suggestions.

by rwalterk . Updated 18 years, 10 months ago

500+ employee company
300+ users (most are remote)
60 different offices in 4 states
2 IT people

Does something like Altiris or SMS make sense here or is it more headache than it’s worth for just two people? We neglect a lot of things because we’re stretched so thin, and one of those is patching/updates. We have to concentrate on outer perimeter defenses because that’s all we have time for.

Another question, on a scale of 1-10, how crazy is my company for having only two IT people at this size? Don’t even ask about whether or not I’ve tried to get more people on board. I’ve tried everything imaginable.

Thanks.
