AVG Business responds to evolving channel needs with enhanced Managed Workplace platform
Since we launched our flagship AVG Business Managed Workplace 9.1 in April 2015, the ongoing dialogue and feedback from our channel partners has been crucial. Managed Workplace 9.2 – the latest version of the platform, available today, addresses the needs our partners have raised. We are confident that the additional capabilities we have included in the expanded platform align to MSPs’ business objectives more closely than ever before.
An important feature in Managed Workplace 9.2 is the Premium Remote Control capability, through our partnership with enterprise remote desktop software provider, ISL Online, that has enabled us to integrate a premium Remote Control capability into our platform for the first time. By building in the remote control at no further cost to our partners, we are able to reduce not only the need for MSPs to work across disparate systems, but also the need to purchase additional, expensive, third-party tools. Offering greater control and visibility to resolve issues and deliver support more quickly, the Premium Remote Control enables MSPs to quickly and easily access remote computers, transfer files, chat, record sessions and perform administrative tasks for their clients, without switching interfaces.
Those of you who attended our Cloud Summit last October will remember discussing remote controls in detail – it’s a great example of you telling us what you wanted, and us listening and responding.
We want to help small enterprises and our MSP partners feel that they are doing everything they can to protect their data. At the same time, we recognize that monitoring so many different systems requires a streamlined workflow. Managed Workplace 9.2 now includes integrated Backup and Disaster Recovery, so that MSPs can easily control workstation backups, capture Bare-Metal-Recovery images for servers, as well as monitor and manage devices from one central dashboard.
Further details on the key features of the Managed Workplace 9.2 platform, including AVG Device Manager for Mac OS X and integrated AntiVirus enhancements can be found here.
With Managed Workplace 9.2, we move one step closer to a complete, managed IT solution – one which provides ease of use, security and control of the entire IT infrastructure (devices, applications and networks) from a “single-pane” of glass. We understand that our channel partners’ technology needs are always evolving and we are committed to doing all we can to streamline the experience while delivering the best services possible.
We are listening. Thank you for your ongoing feedback and please keep sending it our way.
AVG Business Launches Managed Workplace 9.2
AMSTERDAM– September 15, 2015 – AVG® Technologies N.V. (NYSE: AVG), the online security company™ for more than 200 million monthly active users, today announced the launch of AVG Business Managed Workplace® 9.2, the latest version of its fully integrated, open ecosystem, remote monitoring and management (RMM) platform.
AVG Business sells and markets a comprehensive, integrated set of cloud security and RMM software applications that are designed from the ground up to simplify the lives of IT providers, Managed Service Providers (MSPs), and their small-to-medium sized business customers.
Managed Workplace 9.2 now features a Premium Remote Control capability from ISL Online, which is fully integrated into the dashboard. ISL Online brings a ten-year history delivering feature-rich remote desktop control software, helping to ensure that Managed Workplace 9.2 will make it even easier for AVG channel partners to effectively and efficiently administer remote IT management services to their business customers – all from a single platform.
The new AVG Business Premium Remote Control is included as a key capability of Managed Workplace 9.2 and eliminates the need to purchase expensive, third-party remote control solutions. Offering greater control and visibility, the built-in Premium Remote Control is compatible across all Windows® and Mac OS X® managed devices, and it enables MSPs to quickly and easily access remote computers, transfer files, chat, record sessions and perform administrative tasks for their clients, without switching interfaces.
New Features
The most comprehensive solution, to date, Managed Workplace 9.2 includes these new features:
- Premium Remote Control – The one tool for all Remote Control needs, across all Windows and Mac devices, is available to MSPs at no additional cost.
- Integrated Backup and Disaster Recovery – The ‘single pane of glass’ central dashboard helps MSPs quickly deploy and manage Infrascale Backup and Disaster Recovery Solutions. MSPs can easily control file and folder backups for workstations, capture Bare-Metal-Recovery images for servers, as well as monitor and manage Infrascale Appliances from one, central place.
- AVG Device Manager for Mac OS X– The new AVG Device Manager for Mac. OS X brings monitoring and management to roaming Mac OS X laptops. Multiple deployment options increase ease of onboarding and management.
- Integrated AntiVirus enhancements – Integrated AVG AntiVirus has always offered unparalleled protection and ease of management and now MSPs can password protect the end point to prevent unauthorized modification or removal of AntiVirus by end users.
“The ability for my team to quickly understand and resolve issues without the delays of working across different systems, or the expense of purchasing new tools, makes a big difference in delivering fast and professional support,” said Bob Ascherl, Director of Managed Services, Advanced Technology Services. “AVG Business Managed Workplace has enabled us to streamline our technology needs and work from one platform. Now with the company’s extended Managed Workplace platform, we can have both remote control and remote monitoring and management in one solution, without having to make choices or changes to our operations.”
Coupled with AVG Business portfolio services that include its Premium Network Operations Center, Microsoft Office365 and VMware integration, and Secure Sign-On authentication, AVG Business Managed Workplace 9.2 allows end user clients to focus on their business, and gives MSPs the ability to become more profitable.
“AVG is dedicated to the success of our channel partners, and their product feedback is critical for helping us deliver the best experience possible,” said Francois Daumard, VP of Global Channel Sales, AVG Business. “Today’s debut of our enhanced Managed Workplace platform is one example of how we are listening and responding to channel needs and continuing to help MSPs achieve their business goals.”
