Solution: Launched in 1933, Newsweek is published in New York City, and has a loyal U.S. and international readership. Highly popular and extremely successful, Newsweek is one of the largest weekly news magazines in the country in terms of circulation and ad revenue, second only to Time. To produce its magazine, Newsweek relies on hundreds of desktops, laptops, and servers located at news bureaus and offices throughout the world.

The challenge the company was facing was that it had outgrown its existing systems management tools. A solution that would meet the organization’s current needs and accommodate future growth was required. Downtime had to be avoided, and the organization needed a system that could be deployed with minimal intrusion into the existing infrastructure.

To meet their complex set of IT challenges, Newsweek deployed the TriActive Desktop Management Suite. This program includes Help Desk, Asset Inventory, and Remote Tools applications to allow the IT team to effectively manage the company's infrastructure.

One of the major benefits of the TriActive solution was its ease of deployment. In just a few days, the suite was up and running. Because no software had to be installed or maintained, the typical hassles associated with software installations were avoided. By choosing a TriActive solution, the organization has also ensured it will be able to accommodate future growth. Newsweek's IT team will be able to subscribe to additional TriActive solutions on demand without worrying about complex installations and lengthy downtime.
