I’m a huge believer in centralized management of
– The device – The OS– The applications – User’s environment
My ultimate goal is to make the end-users life easier through IT but NOT at the cost of additional IT pain and hard costs.

Each have its own management overlay
In today’s world we manage in silos, from the server down

I like to create the analogy between this type of management philosophy and a TVs philosophy.
– Turn it on and there are the channels. – I’ve been all over the world and the experience is the
same – I don’t know nor do I need to know anything that is
going on in the background as it does not pertain to my task as an end-user.
Why can’t we compute this way too?

To summarize:– We have a problem supporting the end-user. – We need a solution to tie the environment together, but one
that does it by putting the end-user first

In most organizations:– End-users find themselves computing through
numerous devices from many different locations– Their world consists of an office or cubicle that has a
desktop computer and some of their applications are delivered through a Terminal Server, some are local to their desktop and some are web based.
– When the end-user then leaves their workspace, they pickup a laptop and or compute from their home computer or a kiosk
All provide a similar but different experience

Typical Solutions:– Administrators implement numerous utilities and
scripts to try to create as close to a unified experience as possible
– This creates more overhead, higher costs and ultimately more of a static environment
– Environment build is buried in the heads of a few administrators

In my quest for a solution to these problems, I was introduced to a company by the name of Real Enterprise Solutions
I was quick to realize that they were looking at the same problems as I am
Their goal is to develop a solution to manage the end-users first which ultimately manages the rest of the environment seamlessly the way it needs to be
I am excited about the paradigm they bring to the previous mentioned problems
