Geislinger GmbH, a global market leader in torsional vibration dampers, chose Deskcenter Management Suite for its complete IT management in 2017. Since then, the Salzburg-based IT managers have completed many administrative tasks from inventorisation to software deployment using the software solution from the Leipzig-based IT management specialists. In the interview, Stefan Zauner, Information Technology Officer at Geislinger, describes his experience with the suite.

SONAX GmbH develops and produces successful products for vehicle care at Neuburg an der Donau. The 13 employees in the information centre, including Andreas Kaltenstadler, system administrator at Sonax, manage 550 clients throughout the HOFFMANN corporate group at several locations from the Neuburg site. A central IT management solution for inventorisation, user management and  audit-proof licence management provide a lasting overview of the software products.

HEITEC AG, the industrial solution partner, realises projects that require explicit know-how from the most varied of disciplines.

The IMO Group manufactures highly specialized slewing rings in market-leading quality at two plants near Nuremberg.

There are over 350 systems that should be controlled modernly and be automated with one central solution.

TECHNOLIT® runs a total of 950 systems and 10 hypervisors at various sites. The company wanted to be ready for recurring audits and be able to quickly and easily map its license inventory. In addition, it had often found manual software installations to be prone to errors and very time-consuming in the past. The company wanted to significantly reduce the number of staff who are tied up in handling these IT issues. Finally, IT staff found that keeping manual lists in Excel was too cumbersome and outmoded. This all made the introduction of an IT management solution absolutely essential.
