Case Study: Advantage Waypoint achieves day-zero unified IT management and reliable disaster recovery with Quest

Advantage Waypoint Mergers accelerate consolidation of IT operations

Advantage Waypoint, a U.S. foodservice sales and marketing agency formed by a nine‑company merger and continuing to acquire firms, needed to quickly unify disparate IT environments without interrupting employee productivity. With no visibility into endpoints, inventories or processes, CIO Harry Folloder’s team had to achieve “day zero” management across all merged companies.

They deployed Quest KACE Systems Management appliances for discovery, inventory, patching, app deployment and service desk functions, plus Quest Rapid Recovery for backup and disaster recovery. The combined solution provided a single unified view and day‑zero control of endpoints, reliable easy‑to‑manage data protection, faster integrations for subsequent acquisitions, and measurable ROI and business continuity.
