Overview

January 12

The shift to increasingly digital work environments means IT teams are in charge of provisioning more devices than ever. Ensuring all these new devices are set up and distributed securely has become a complex part of the onboarding and modernization processes that require coordination from IT and HR teams. To lighten the load of provisioning on public sector teams, some agencies are turning to provisioning services.

Join Government Technology and HP for a 30-minute webinar on January 12, 2024, at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET to discover how agencies can use provisioning services to streamline new device deployments, from planning to support.

You’ll Learn:

Why device provisioning is often a challenge after moving to a modern IT environment
How to reduce IT touchpoints and provide optimal user experiences with device provisioning services
The services that streamline all phases of device provisioning – from roadmap planning and pre-provisioning devices at the factory to post-deployment support
