In today’s environment, the pressure to justify any investment is high and often, delaying your PC refresh cycle seems like an easy answer. Join me tomorrow for a webinar with Dave Bowers from Dell for a discussion on the financial reasons to renew, redeploy and refresh an aging PC fleet. We’ll cover key areas to consider that can impact the total cost of ownership for your PC fleet – such as energy savings, security, and productivity. We’ll also provide you with access to tools that you can use to develop your own analysis and assist you in your budgeting conversations for next year.

We hosted a great webinar this morning to provide the basics on Intel vPro technology. It was a very interactive session and we had Josh in the audience who piped up with some good comments AND some good humor. :-D We referred to quite a few helpful resources in the webinar, which I e-mailed to all of the registrants afterwards.

Lost your laptop? Turn it into a brick! Join our webinar and learn more...

michele.gartner@intel.com — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 22:53:04 GMT

Losing a laptop costs your company a lot more than just the lost hardware...think of the data that is on that PC. Now think about how many laptops you have in your enterprise and potential that there is for data breaches. Yeah, it is staggering - isn't it?!

Join us for the Securing Your Environment with Intel Anti-Theft Technology webinar on Tuesday, June 23 2009 to learn more about the impact of data breaches and how Intel Anti-Theft Technology can help you strengthen your PC hardware and security solutions.

Our panelists include Dr. Larry Ponemon, Mike Schulien, and Geoff Glave:

Dr. Larry Ponemon, Chairman and Founder of the Ponemon Institute, will share information from his annual study on the cost of data breaches; the associated financial impacts to business, the threat of customer turnover as well as preventative solutions. The Ponemon institutue is a research “think tank” dedicated to advancing privacy and data protection practices. Click here to read the study.

Intel Solution Architect, Mike Schulien, will discuss how Intel’s latest security innovation, Intel® Anti-Theft Technology, can combat security breaches by strengthening PC hardware and security solutions. This new hardware-level technology will shut down a PC and/or its data if it is lost or stolen with the ability to reactivate it if it is recovered.

Geoff Glave, Absolute Software Product Manager, will talk about how IT administrators can use Computrace, Absolute’s leading IT asset-management and security solution, to secure their assets remotely, automatically locking down a system quickly in case of theft or suspicious circumstances. Computrace technology is the leading security service now using Intel® Anti-Theft Technology. Computrace with Intel® Anti-Theft Technology Whitepaper
