“Renewable Energy Co.” is a leading Australian company that develops and invests in renewable energy projects like solar farms and energy storage. They manage these projects from start to finish and are committed to a sustainable future.

The Challenge

“Renewable Energy Co.” faced challenges in maintaining a consistent and secure workstation environment across their organisation. This included:

  • Inconsistent Branding: A lack of standardised desktop backgrounds and lock screens created a disjointed brand image across employee devices.
  • Security Vulnerabilities: The absence of enforced screen lock timeouts increased the risk of unauthorised access to sensitive company information.
  • IT Management Overhead: Manually configuring individual workstations was time-consuming and inefficient for “Renewable Energy Co.’s” IT team.

These challenges highlighted the need for a centralised configuration management solution to streamline processes and enhance security.

The Solution

Intuitive IT addressed “Renewable Energy Co.’s” challenges by implementing a comprehensive solution that included:

  • Centralised Configuration Management: Intuitive IT leveraged its expertise to develop and deploy three automation policies:
    • Custom Desktop Background: A policy to distribute and set a company-provided image as the desktop background on all workstations, with the flexibility for future updates by Intuitive IT.
    • Custom Lock Screen: A similar policy to implement a standardised lock screen image across all devices, also with provisions for future image changes.
    • Automatic Screen Lock Timeout: A policy to enforce a consistent screen lock timeout, enhancing security by requiring authentication after a set period of inactivity.
  • Deployment and Testing: These policies were meticulously deployed and tested across all “Renewable Energy Co.” managed workstations (excluding the video wall) to ensure seamless integration and functionality.
  • Documentation: Intuitive IT provided comprehensive documentation of the implemented policies, facilitating future management and troubleshooting by “Renewable Energy Co.’s” IT team.

This solution empowered “Renewable Energy Co.” to establish a secure, consistent, and easily manageable workstation environment, aligning with their branding and security objectives.

The Outcome

By partnering with Intuitive IT, “Renewable Energy Co.” successfully achieved the following outcomes:

  • Enhanced Security: The implementation of automatic screen locks and standardised lock screens significantly improved the security of company devices and data.
  • Strengthened Brand Identity: A consistent look and feel was established across all employee workstations, reinforcing company branding and presenting a more professional image.
  • Streamlined IT Management: Centralised configuration management reduced the administrative burden on “Renewable Energy Co.’s” IT team, freeing up resources for other strategic initiatives.
