When I started at Ivanti, I asked around to get a diagram of process flows and communication flow for Endpoint Manager (EPM). I was given two different diagrams that were each about 10 years old and not customer ready. While not much of the communication had changed, some had making these outdated and irrelevant.

We really do.

When it comes to running a Human Resources (HR) department successfully, it’s a balancing act of maximizing budget and productivity. HR is a core part of the enterprise, but it is often up against flat or shrinking budgets. A lot of time gets invested into searching for ways to eliminate full-time employee hours spent on tedious manual tasks and re-shift its staff’s focus to driving more strategic initiatives.

Take a moment if you will. Imagine your typical day at the warehouse. Warehouse workers are buzzing about. Forklifts are driving back and forth down the aisles.
