Consolidation of the IT infrastructure through UEM systems

Network infrastructures have become increasingly heterogeneous in recent years; in addition to conventional clients, home office workstations, mobile end devices and, increasingly, IoT or production-related systems also need to be managed. As a result, many administration departments have built up a broad collection of isolated solutions for end device management.

It is becoming increasingly difficult for admins to organize this patchwork and link the individual tools with each other in a meaningful way, especially in light of the shortage of skilled workers. In addition, functions are often duplicated. This not only increases complexity, but also costs. Added to this are increasing security requirements and audit obligations, which actually require an overview and transparency.

Challenges posed by isolated IT solutions

No transparency

In a fragmented tool landscape with half a dozen IT island solutions for similar or related tasks, there is no centralized view of end devices, policies, status and risks.

Inefficient workflows

Frequent tool changes, manual processes and redundant tasks cost administration departments time and nerves.

Low level of IT automation

Consistent processes for lifecycle, patching, support and deployment are difficult or impossible to implement between IT island solutions. The training and operating costs for many different tools are high. This ties up valuable capacity that is not available for strategic tasks.

Problems with IT security and compliance

Where there is no overall view and security and patch policies are inconsistent across different tools, it is difficult to make informed decisions. The risk of security gaps increases due to configuration errors, integration gaps and delayed or incomplete responses to security incidents.

Multiple license costs

Parallel tools from different manufacturers for different purposes often have overlapping functionalities. In addition to the license costs, there are also operating and maintenance costs per tool. This runs counter to the goal of reducing IT costs and wastes optimization and savings potential.

Limited scalability

A fragmented architecture scales poorly with new device types. Each expansion increases complexity; consolidation becomes more costly the longer it is postponed.

System consolidation using UEM transforms tool

Wild growth in controllability

Companies that monitor and update their IT infrastructure from a central platform improve their security, efficiency and compliance. They standardize and automate processes by bringing together patch management, inventory, security and compliance in the consistent architecture of a unified UEM platform. With the acmp Suite, UEM functions are not scattered as loose modules, but bundled in a common platform. A continuous UEM chain is created from several special tools:

 

  • A license management and asset management add-on provides the database for hardware and software inventories as well as downstream processes such as security, license management and reporting.
  • Building on this acmp Desktop Automation builds on. Using predefined routines (client commands), recurring tasks can be automated via drag-and-drop, such as software distribution, configuration or standard processes in Unified Endpoint Management.
  • A Managed Software component addresses third-party patch management with pre-built bundles and release cycles.
  • An integrated Windows Update Management takes over the automated distribution of Microsoft updates and thus replaces classic WSUS-related processes.

Why is UEM consolidation important for companies?

Many IT departments rely on piecemeal solutions that have evolved over time to manage their networks. This increases complexity, costs, and risks. A consolidated UEM platform brings together key functions and provides greater transparency and control. This enables IT operations to be conducted more efficiently and securely.

What problems arise from fragmented IT tool landscapes?

Fragmented tools lead to a lack of visibility, inconsistent policies, and high operational overhead. Administrators waste time switching between tools, performing manual processes, and duplicating work. At the same time, the risk of errors and compliance violations increases.

How does a consolidated UEM platform work in practice?

An UEM platform combines asset inventory, patch management, and software deployment into a single architecture. Processes are automated and centrally managed, resulting in consistent workflows across all end devices.

What are the benefits of consolidation for operations and compliance?

Consolidation reduces operating expenses, licensing costs, and integration issues. At the same time, it improves compliance, as policies are managed centrally and implemented consistently. Automation also increases operational speed and stability.

In which industries is UEM consolidation particularly relevant?

UEM is particularly relevant in regulated and complex environments such as the public sector, industry, and healthcare. In these sectors, stringent security requirements are combined with heterogeneous IT infrastructures and limited resources. A centralized platform helps reduce risks and manage operations efficiently.
