1. Compudyne and Intel® vPro™
technology-based PCs
As a leading Managed Services Provider in Minnesota, Compudyne uses PCs featuring
Intel vPro technology in conjunction with their existing management console
software to reduce PC downtime by 50% and save their customers $97 per year per
PC in power cost.
Intel® vPro™ technology-based PCs are your
standard recommendation. Why?
“PCs based on Intel vPro technology allow us to accelerate repairs,
especially for customers that are a long distance from us. They allow
us to reduce the amount of PC downtime that our customers
experience, both through faster repairs and by increasing the amount
of maintenance activity that can be done after hours. And finally, vPro
allows us to deliver significant power cost savings to our customers by
enabling proactive power management. We get all this from a
technology that only adds about $30 to the price of the PC and takes,
at most, 5 minutes to implement. That’s a win-win for us and our
customers.”
Todd Sieger, President and COO, Compudyne
Reduction in OS repair times
“With vPro’s hardware-based KVM Remote Control, we can fix most OS
problems without rolling a truck. It’s a big deal when we can fix a
customer problem without leaving the office. We cover a large
geographic area, and being able to fix a PC remotely can mean
avoiding a two-hour service call. You’re looking at a significant savings
and a nice increase in efficiency. Overall, I estimate we’re reducing OS
repair times by 33%.”

Reduction in PC downtime for customers
“Customers don't like being interrupted for PC updates, but those updates are critical. vPro-based PCs
allow us to do the updates in the middle of the night without bothering the customer. This is a big part of
why vPro-based PCs let us reduce PC downtime by 50%
“In addition, as the end of the month approaches and we get ready to prepare patching reports, we usually
have a bunch manual updates we have to do to clean up machines that have been missed. vPro lets us
avoid this extra work while improving our customers’ security profile.”
Todd Sieger, President and COO, Compudyne
Saving customers $97 per PC per year in energy cost
“vPro allows us to proactively manage our customers’ PC power state through our Kaseya solution, saving
our typical customer $97 per year per PC in power cost. This is a significant advantage and a great new
value add for our customers. For example, we have school district customers with PC labs; getting all
those PCs consistently shut down after hours is difficult for the customer, and our ability to manage that
for them is a great offering.”
