A new unified Build Wizard allows for configuration of the solution from a single point. Smart Deployment™ for Windows Based on ENGL's consulting methodologies, ENGL Imaging Toolkit can be used to create a hardware independent ZENworks image for Windows XP, Tablet Edition 2005, Vista and 2003 Server. ENGL Imaging Toolkit includes a Sysprep-wrapper that can dynamically locate OEM drivers delivered using a ZENworks add-on image and automate the entire Windows build process with a single XML configuration file. The modular imaging approach used by ENGL Imaging Toolkit will reduce your internal development, deployment and maintenance costs whilst simplifying the entire Windows build process. Enhanced Imaging ENGL Imaging Toolkit integrates seemlessly with ZENworks imaging and provides additional security using LDAP authentication, imaging menus based on LDAP identity, and automated image selection and restore using build-in hardware discovery. ENGL Imaging Toolkit can be used wth ZENworks bootable CDROM/DVD and PXE imaging. Lights-out Image Deployment ENGL Imaging Toolkit includes a Wake-on-LAN (WOL) scheduler for ZENworks 7 environments. Multiple schedules, tasks and targets can be configured easily. Want to image a group of workstations in the middle of the night? No problem! Several tasks can be configured, including setting workstation image flags and sending WOL packets. With the HTML reporting you can sit at home and check which machines have been imaged. “Many organisations are looking to move to a Standard Desktop Operating Environment (SOE) to drive down costs and improve IT efficiency. The ENGL approach makes the creation of the SOE as modular as possible which reduces the total upgrade and maintenance time. Using a combination of Novell ZENworks and ENGL Imaging Toolkit has been proven to dramatically save time and reduce risk” Martin Buckley, Director of Product Management for ZENworks, Novell, Inc. “We anticipate deploying Windows Vista in early 2008. To achieve this we will be using ENGL’s Imaging Toolkit 5 which enhances the management of ZENworks – both the PC imaging and overall PC roll-out. Our decision to use the Imaging Toolkit is based on quite extensive experience of previous versions of the product, which has made it much easier for us to not only cost-effectively manage our PC deployment but also reduce ongoing desktop maintenance costs as a result.” David Jones, Head of Technology Services, Virgin Radio What customers are saying... » success stories “ENGL are by far the best vendor I have ever had the pleasure of working with. The product speaks for itself, but the support, response time and effort ENGL put into their work really impresses me.” John Benton, Fairview Health Systems “ENGL’s strategic ZENworks consultancy and the company’s Imaging Toolkit have been an invaluable element of this extremely high profile project. By working in partnership with ENGL we have been able to put in place a solid technology foundation to meet all our future business requirements. We fully expect our new Standard Operating Environment to deliver significant cost and productivity savings for Leeds City Council and long-term benefits for all Leeds residents, businesses and organisations.” Anthony Burnham, Leeds City Council “Before the ENGL team came on board, I had a full-time job ensuring that our student desktops were manually maintained in good working order. Now we have a single base image solution that will do a three and a half month job in just three weeks and has all but eliminated the need for manual software support. We’ve finally said goodbye to that all too familiar ‘blue screen of death’ and introduced a highly effective desktop management solution.” Gareth Wilson, University of Wales Swansea “ENGL’s Imaging Toolkit has allowed Paragon to put in place a Smart Windows Deployment methodology that has not only increased the reliability and roll-out speed of our new operating system but also all future application upgrades. Importantly, by enabling remote PC builds from a central location, it will help our Helpdesk team to make impressive savings and respond more quickly to user problems. ENGL’s Imaging Toolkit means that rebuilds will be used far more frequently as a tool for overcoming Helpdesk issues. Paragon now has a flexible, high-speed infrastructure in place to support our focus on customer service and provide a firm foundation for future growth.” Andy Davies, Paragon Group “I am delighted that our XP build strategy has been fulfilled with such success. ENGL’s Ztoolkit utility has already delivered important business benefits for our team. As the company continues to grow, we expect to see an even bigger Return on Investment in terms of the ongoing management costs associated with supporting the business. ENGL gave us excellent feedback at every stage of the project. Their software developers know ZENworks inside out, upside-down and their response times were spot on. I can’t recommend them highly enough.” Paul McKay, Bond Pearce “One of our primary project design goals was to minimise the impact of the XP upgrade on EDC users. ENGL’s utilities helped to ensure that the workstation build process was seamless, smooth and cost-effective. By introducing Ztoolkit the EDC IT team can now roll out upgrades at the click of a button and Zim will vastly improve our imaging management for the future. The ENGL software development team was very responsive and extremely professional throughout the whole project. I am extremely pleased with the way in which we have been able to optimise our ZENworks environment.” Alistair Smith, Export Development Canada “With ENGL’s help we have been able to introduce a solution that is easy, simple and stable that will deliver ongoing value for the business and its people. Having reviewed a freeware solution that seemed to be the answer to our imaging needs and then been disappointed with its limitations, I am now delighted with the customised solution we have developed in partnership with ENGL. The team listened carefully to our requirements and then responded quickly and efficiently to all the enhancement requests we made. We are now able to showcase ZENworks internally as well as provide an enhanced level of IT support to the 2,500 people based at our Utah site. A partnership with ENGL definitely delivers lots of bangs for the buck!” Dean Ricker, Novell IS&T
