VARs must deal with the end user application revolution

Address VAR end user application that the revolution

Future applications to come. And better prepared.

Control, if not control the flood of requests from corporate accounts at the beginning of the list to hear the Director referred to the value-added reseller customers.

Many companies bring their own computer or get a handle on all unauthorized discharges that are not approved for use in the office working to support the load bags and smart phones also an important issue for IT departments that support and value-added resellers.

It is not fair trade practices (Bird, or crazy?) Is not. This application is a business purchase and installation of center enough to make more sense to pay a ton of unique items by pulling at the same time being able to dominate. Many employees, now and then you can download applications such expenses. And in terms of compliance, devices, knowledge workers which, accustomed to Microsoft Office and Symantec AntiVirus, beyond important to know.

"We still have these questions," Database Solutions Inc., King of Prussia, Pa.-based VAR, CEO, George Brown, "The biggest problem for the application of a critical mass is being said as to why there should pay attention. "

LAN monitoring tools to keep track of everything there, because the employees of the company network every day, not really a problem for businesses. The problem is that occasionally connect to corporate networks from applications on remote devices is that it is difficult to monitor and control.

"Microsoft System Center with the assumption that you can detect that they are connected," said Brown. "The problem with the flavors of the world too many of them employees of the information on the implementation of all statements for disconnected users. They like to try things, "he said.

The new point of view: as a provider of IT services
Ben Messer, IT NWN Corp., Waltham, Massachusetts, director of YES, IT section said it all comes down to thinking proactively.

"In the old days, each time saying no to the end user has been considered the Police Department. Oh, that. Their harmony is what he needs, I have to educate users and the tools to see what is really there, "he said. Messer said.

Leigh Carpenter, n. Generation Computing Inc., based in San Diego, the director of strategic YES, I agree that to be an adjustment. This symposium, the 11 past, the company turns out to be a big problem.

"Our main message [clients] that the services they need, and software users in more than fast enough for him to go further is that," he said. In short, this new world to download the application does not need to defend it.

This message is too hard to swallow for professionals. "Much remains downloading stop talking about adding more security to the firewall," said Carpenter.

Application tool sets a lack of supply
Existing tools for monitoring and management of sites some admitted that they were insufficient. IBM Tivoli suite of management systems such as these big expensive things, but many stores caliber of the vehicle. The portfolios of some sellers have become the tools cheaper and easier. NWN spot now known as IBM Tivoli Storage Manager impressed with the Big Fix, and a tool for asset management from Dell, the Dell acquires Everdream few years ago.

N. VDI Software for the next generation SysTrack Lakeside frequent evaluation, as well as desktop users for other purposes beneficial to see what works, Carpenter said.

This is a retrospective application of technologies such as, once installed can help you get a grip. It reaches the end-user applications, sees the download button to know, however, and would be useful.

This observation NWN because most customers for its expertise in the application it performs the function comes from Messer. "It has often led me to ask about specific calls, we get calls from customers with applications," he said.

Business processes and their end users, companies can purchase to help you get on.

"Companies can not be refunded for users to describe things that are not controlled in the first place to start, which will save many headaches," said Brown, the solutions database.

These policies, in fact, purchases of software can save companies money. If
50% of end users of a software company certified does not do well with it for some functions that I want to try a download, the new equipment the software company may be low on the mast and down.

An understanding of these changes in technology, which is necessary for VARs and integrators, Adara Networks CEO Eric Johnson, a San Jose software temporarily to speed the delivery of software applications, he said.

"YES is necessary to deliver applications and business applications. Secure, scalable, and users can better serve customers more effectively [as do] to help deliver and manage applications," he said.

Johnson said the departments to refuse to provide services irrelevance of risk required. What is the need for their employees, unless the companies, IT managers will stop listening?

"An employer may continue to buy the IPAD [you're not careful]. IPad Businessman wants to go to BlackBerry and say we are ready to support and will be adjusted later, "said Johnson.
