Case Study: Advocate Health Care achieves automated PC provisioning and $17 million annual cost avoidance with Landesk

LANDESK Automates the Provisioning of 1,000 PCs per Week and Saves $17 Million Annually in Cost Avoidance

Advocate Health Care, a large Illinois health system, faced a highly complex IT environment with thousands of PCs, unique application mixes, and time-consuming manual migrations that could take up to eight hours per device. To solve this, Advocate Health Care turned to Landesk and its LANDESK Management Suite to automate provisioning and migration across its enterprise.

Landesk implemented a fully automated process to map applications, reinstall the correct software, and restore user data and settings during PC migrations and re-imaging. The result was the ability to image up to 1,000 machines per week with less than a 1% failure rate, while cutting technician time dramatically and delivering an estimated $17 million in annual cost avoidance for Advocate Health Care.
