Please contact Enterprise Client Management to schedule an introduction to MS ECM and how it can help your department
With expanding technology use comes the need for increased support. For over 15 years, the University has been using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, or MS ECM, to help with the challenges that IT administrators face. MS ECM allows you to do it all: from keeping systems running and up-to-date, to keeping track of all your hardware and software assets.
Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is a free tool to help manage computer systems across the network right from your own desk.
With MS ECM you can:
- Reduce manual tasks
- Free scarce IT resources
- Increase end-user productivity
- Reduce the overall cost of providing IT support.
The tools that MS ECM offers can help you keep track of assets on your network. You can also deploy software, operating systems, and updates to any computer you want. And you can centrally manage your systems and provide support with remote tools from anywhere on campus.
