Absolute Software Case Study Sample

Having experienced a sharp increase in laptop theft including one incident requiring public disclosure of breached health information, Allina sought a high-tech. solution for laptop management and data breach protection. After a review of available products, Allina selected ComputraceComplete with Remote Data Delete from Absolute Software. Using Computrace, IT staff have dramatically reduced laptop theft, recovered several stolen computers and improved laptop auditing accuracy from 30% to more than 95%.

Allina’s future plans include taking advantage of new functions available with the latest generation of Computrace. This includes powerful new End User Messaging functionality that will allow Myrvold and his team to send a message to laptop users from within Computrace. For instance, when a computer model is set to be retired and replaced, the IT team can send out a message to all users of that model without using an email system.

According to Weeks, “We’ve done a great job of automating the installation of Computrace on new computers. Any time we can automate additional processes that enhance the security of our computers we’re all in favor.”
