Sesame Street is facing the same challenges as you are this halloween. Equipping distributed workforces.

Firstbase Fridays Where IT Happens... Hilarious IT stories! An IT leader at a 750 person company was approached by the new Vice President of People Operations at Company kickoff. People Ops: “Nice to meet you! We definitely need to talk” IT Leader: “Glad you’re here, what’s up?” People Ops: “Well.. I got the wrong type of device, sent to the wrong name, and at least it came to the right address, but this isn’t good” After diving in, the IT Leader learned the MSP had been acquired and the team was experiencing more issues… They moved to Firstbase 2 years ago and not only fixed their US problems, but covered other countries, expanded, and were able to scale the IT team without adding resources to the IT Support team.

Susan the CFO messages the head of IT, “How many laptops does Jim have at his house?” “About 20 or 30..” says the head of IT. “Ok, that’s $50-75,000 of equipment, we need a better alternative or at least get Jim a security system.” While this scenario and risk seems obvious, nearly every IT Leader of a growing company has a story like this… IT Happens, but then there’s Firstbase to solve global IT Logistics.

For distributed teams, IT teams generally don’t even see a device before it’s sent out to an employee. Mobile Device Management (MDM) software is critical for keeping distributed organizations secure. And for forward-thinking IT leaders, it’s the bare minimum. MDMs are a crucial security foundation for all organizations. But MDMs are not the only component required to ensure company device compliance and security. Read more here > https://bit.ly/3Y3xtwD
