Activation Getting Easier - PODCast

Posted by Josh Hilliker Dec 11, 2007

Mike Seawright, Terry Cutler & I came together to discuss Activation.

Here's a quick excerpt: "We have studies that show that on the laptop or notebook side, it saves you $50 per year and on the desktop side it saves you approximately $230 per year by utilizing the vPro technology," says Mike Seawright, of the enterprise solutions sales group. In other words, it's worth it to go all the way through the activation process now, because otherwise, "you're losing out on that cost savings." Terry Cutler, also of the enterprise solutions sales group, says it differently: "I'm more than happy for people to buy the technology, but I think they'd be even better off if they'd actually use the technology."

... GOT ROI !!! Show us yours...

Posted by Brian Brougham Dec 11, 2007

A fellow blogger (Terry Cutler) suggested asking the best group of experts we have on AMT/ vPro about ROI and what you have discovered from the use of this amazing technology in your production environments. I would love to hear from anyone with a proven ROI analysis of their implementation of AMT / vPro.

My hope is you can show how security, power savings, desk side visits, asset inventory, etc have been positively affected as you have activated AMT / vPro. A general background on the environment, your industry vertical, and of the vPro implementation. Post online for all to see and / or send your information to brian.d.brougham@intel.com. The information will be kept confidential, if requested.

Looking forward to the awesome story's, I know are out there... Show us yours!!!!

Known Issues, BKM's & Workarounds

Posted by Josh Hilliker Dec 11, 2007

One of the things that make a community a great place is to share known issues, BKM's & workarounds so we all can learn together. I also was out last week at an activation and wish I could have shown the USB matrix of what keys work & don't. Well, here's a new wiki we started today was around this very concept. Michele has started a WIKI that she is going to update around the Issues, BKM's & workarounds.

Posted by Jeff Torello Dec 11, 2007

I've started a discussion thread titled Your vPro Tools Wishlist Hoping to gather input from the community on suggestions for tools that would make things easier. Be that deployment tools, provisioning tools, what have you.

I'm trying to build a list from both internal and external sources so we can prioritize and start delivering some valuable utilities. Here's your chance to let us know about your idea for that super special tool that will make things easier.
