IT Operations Blueprint for Distributed Work
It takes about 500 IT hours per year to handle end-user computing logistics for every 100 remote employees. We know IT would rather be a change agent and transform their business than spend most of their time on asset management.
That’s why the Firstbase Operations team designed a 7-step blueprint to help IT teams successfully build and run this new supply chain.
Configure & Provision Remotely
By pairing an MDM (e.g., Kandji, Jamf) with your Apple Business Manager or Microsoft Azure account, your company can automatically push policies and additional software onto any computer anywhere in the world. This lets you “image” a device remotely and is the ideal state for remote and hybrid workforces.
Data Destruction & Asset Retrieval
Use your MDM partner for zero-touch wiping which allows you to wipe corporate data from devices. Have a plan in place to be able to retrieve all your IT assets, likely with a partner.
Strategic Planning
By 2028, 70% of organizations will adopt a managed device life cycle service offering, up from less than 20% in 2024 says Gartner®.
