Client Management
Reduction of service desk calls thanks to integrated endpoint management
What is client management and how does it work?
As a methodical approach, the term client management encompasses all measures for managing and controlling the IT infrastructure. This includes in particular the distribution and installation of hardware and software, licences or operating systems.
The typical areas of responsibility of client management are:
- Software management
- Hardware management
- Licence management
- Inventory
- Device management
- Operating system distribution
- Mobile device management
The core tasks of client management also include determining the needs of the users, categorising the requirements and defining processes for setting up and maintaining the IT infrastructure.
Especially in larger companies, the client infrastructure is characterised by very heterogeneous and diverse requirements. By using hardware of different manufacturers and types as well as diverse software solutions, each client has individual and unique needs. As a result of this heterogeneous structure, client management is particularly time-consuming and costly.
Modern client management software starts precisely here and aims to manage complex client infrastructures uniformly and efficiently and to ensure high service quality and availability. A functioning client management system simultaneously offers interfaces to IT service management (ITSM) and thus allows the client management software to be integrated into other systems.
ITConcepts accompanies you as an experienced consultant and IT specialist in all matters of client management. Whether software management, device management or inventory – we find the optimal solution for your individual requirements and support you throughout the entire implementation process.
The advantages of good client management
A professional client management system facilitates the central administration of all clients and relieves the IT in their daily work. By customising the client management software to the needs of the company, it is possible to sustainably improve the reliability and availability of IT services.
The advantages at a glance:
Order
Client management allows the IT department to keep an eye on the company’s entire IT infra-structure at all times. The centralised approach makes it possible for an IT staff member to install and support new software remotely without being on site.
Overhead
The automated allocation of installations, configurations, maintenance and updates makes it possible to professionally manage a large number of computers with little effort. This allows employees to work more productively while noticeably relieving the IT department.
Help desk
The uniform supply of the client systems significantly facilitates the support of the end users. The result is fast IT response times and higher employee satisfaction.

Patch management and support – ITConcepts supports all along the line
Patch management plays a key role in ensuring IT security in the company. The aim of patch management is to effectively prevent the spread of malware by malware programmers. For this purpose, IT uses socalled patches that close security gaps and protect the clients’ operating systems and applications from attacks. As a particularly security-relevant part of client management, patch management should be given high priority.
ITConcepts advises you competently and individually on the implementation of a suitable patch management. We show you how you can optimise the service quality of your IT department and effectively protect your company against malicious malware through efficient and professional remote administration. We always address your individual, industry-specific needs and configure the client management system specifically for your requirements.
