can pay big dividends whenever<br />
changes need to be made. Instead<br />
of needing to fly someone out to a<br />
remote location, you can manage it<br />
remotely, saving time and money for<br />
years to come. “In general, most IT<br />
groups I’ve worked with don’t really<br />
want to fly to some random location<br />
for the week,” noted Doverspike.<br />
“If you’re doing a very large multisite<br />

and professional services team<br />
literally has IP built up around<br />
our nterprise platform, with<br />

into ways to do it very effectively.”<br />
Zones nfrastructure’s nterprise<br />
platform provides deep visibility<br />
into deployment and implementation<br />
activities, enabling you to monitor key<br />
metrics like detailed inventory levels<br />
and field technician status and view<br />
real-time images from the field to<br />

more money.”<br />
