Environmental Protection Agency is the Newest Addition to the Roster of Government Customers Relying on Persystent Software to Ensure PCs are Always Available and Fully Functional
Tampa, FL, June 30, 2010 – Persystent Software, developers of Persystent Suite, the world’s fastest repair solution for restoring PC application and operating system files, today announced that Region 5 of the Environmental Protection Agency will be using Persystent Suite to ensure their remote and mobile PCs are work-ready 24/7.
The IT department of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was facing the same challenges most organizations face when managing a remote and mobile workforce: increasing performance for end users and easing their own management and security responsibilities.
Since more than two-thirds of today's workforce is comprised of mobile or remote users, companies must deploy solutions that meet the needs of the employees as well as the needs of IT. From a technological standpoint, laptop computers match desktop computers with the processing power necessary for doing any kind of work at any time.
While the advanced technology of laptops measurably increases employee productivity, they also deliver new challenges for IT. Every laptop that travels outside the traditional corporate network is out of the physical control of IT. If something happens to compromise the functionality of the laptop it needs to be shipped for repair or an IT technician needs to be dispatched. Either scenario can be very costly in terms of end user downtime and loss of business continuity.
“One of the key responsibilities of IT is maintaining the operating system and applications on all PCs under management. With limited access to the mobile devices, repairs can be time-consuming,” says Katherine Wattwood, Vice President of Product Development, Persystent Software, “The automated repair functionality found in all Persystent products can help organizations like the EPA minimize the loss of employee productivity associated with corrupted applications or OSs. Persystent Suite can be set to work automatically to repair these corruptions at each reboot. The goal is to ensure that remote PCs and laptops run reliably 24/7 without intervention from IT.”
Persystent Suite is ideal for managing a mobile workforce because it does not require a network connection to perform the repair. At each boot cycle, or on demand, Persystent scans and compares the authorized configuration. Compliant files that are modified or deleted will be restored. Non-compliant files that have been added will be removed. Activity for each PC is logged for auditing and reporting and can be accessed from the convenience of a centralized web-based administration console.
Other government agencies using Persystent Suite include Army IMCEN, Renville County, State of Utah Department of Transportation, City of Wheaton, US Department of Veterans Affairs, County of Kauai, and Davis County.
