Simplify Remote Deployment With Zero-Touch Provisioning

Adopt zero-touch provisioning to provide better services to your end users.

Provide better end-user device support to a remote workforce:

  • Remain compliant while purchasing, deploying, supporting, and decommissioning devices.
  • Save time and resources during device deployment while providing a high-quality experience to remote end users.
  • Build a set of capabilities that will let you support different use cases.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

  • Zero-touch is more than just deployment. This is more difficult than turning on a tool and provisioning new devices to end users.
  • Consider the entire user experience and device lifecycle to show value to the organization. Don’t forget that you will eventually need to touch the device.

Impact and Result

Approach zero-touch provisioning and patching from the end user’s experience:

  • Align your zero-touch approach with stakeholder priorities and larger IT strategies.
  • Build your zero-touch provisioning and patching plan from both the asset lifecycle and the end-user perspective to take a holistic approach that emphasizes customer service.
  • Tailor deployment plans to more easily scope and resource deployment projects.
