Case Study: Mohawk Industries reduces IT costs and boosts productivity with LANDESK

Automated Management Tool Helps Reduce Costs During Recession

Mohawk Industries, the world’s largest flooring manufacturer, needed a better way to manage inventory, software distribution, mobile users, and bandwidth across 10,000 PCs and 400 locations. Its existing management tool was slow, limited, and often left inventory data outdated, while software deployments could take up to 16 hours and missed laptops not connected to the VPN.

Mohawk Industries chose Landesk, implementing LANDESK Management Suite and LANDESK Patch Manager to automate inventory, patching, and software delivery. With Landesk, Mohawk created customized inventory reports in minutes, cut major software deployment time to about one hour, patched 95% of PCs within seven days, and achieved a 94% increase in software distribution productivity while reducing bandwidth strain and helping the company make more cost-effective upgrade decisions.
