Absolute Software White Paper Sample

The integrated management solution, Absolute Manage, can be expected to generate a new level of competition for comparable management suites, such as KACE, LANDesk, and Symantec’s Altiris. However, Absolute needs to contend with a market perception of LANrev as primarily a desktop management solution with limited value in the data center (primarily due to the lack of support for UNIX and Linux platforms). This presents an opportunity for future expansion for Absolute as closing that gap will solidify the company as a principle provider of end-to-end enterprise IT lifecycle management solutions. In the meantime, the integration of the LANrev technology will move Absolute into the realm of expansive IT operational support at a time when holistic enterprise support has become critical to IT management success.
