Managed Activation Platform: Remote PC management made easy for your vPro® fleet 

The modern workplace has changed and as a result of hybrid work becoming the norm, your IT team needs better ways to troubleshoot, repair and maintain business PCs that might be in the office, employee homes, or anywhere else.  

Remote management has become a critical need for businesses of all sizes as it allows for enhanced flexibility, accessibility, efficiency, and security. Remote management software enables IT teams to support systems from anywhere, reducing downtime and cutting costs associated with on-site visits.  

Remote manageability gives IT administrators the ability to do software upgrades or security patches all via the cloud. This means having a hardware-level management solution that can establish a communication channel for IT, giving them the ability to manage issues at a moment’s notice, inside or outside the firewall environment.
