Case Study: Gruner+Jahr Media streamlines device and file distribution to ease its small IT team's workload with FileWave

FileWave streamlines managed and file-level distribution, easing the burden of technology on this small IT team

Gruner+Jahr Media, the Amsterdam-based publisher of titles such as National Geographic and Vogue, faced a scaling and usability challenge managing more than 200 computers and nearly 100 mobile devices with a two-person IT team. After finding other MDM providers difficult to set up and scale, they selected FileWave (using features like Fileset Magic, managed distribution and file-level distribution) to meet needs for multi-platform support, security, ease of use and affordability.

FileWave implemented managed and file-level distribution with Fileset Magic to rapidly deploy custom applications, department-specific preferences and files; after one day of training staff were able to use and deploy all functionality. The solution removed time-consuming software updates, let the small IT team focus on higher-value work, and delivered measurable confidence in ROI—Gruner+Jahr Media rates FileWave five stars and reports fast, effective support and scalable management across their estate.
