DameWare Case Study

The city of Lakewood has between 500 - 1000 employees in different physical locations.• Challenge: Before implementing DameWare Remote Support, help

desk personnel were spending hours travelling to sites to fix problems, or using Remote Desktop. This caused downtime for the user and didn’t reflect an accurate assessment of the problem.

• Result: DameWare Remote Support has been invaluable in this process. DameWare has also been instrumental in developing an inventory of software.

• ROI: Significant time savings for help desk personnel.
