Everdream, the leading provider of hosted Desktop Management Services, today announced that BÖWE BELL + HOWELL, the world’s leading manufacturer of document processing and postal solutions, has selected Everdream to provide web-hosted asset management, anti-virus, patch management, software distribution, remote control, online backup and help desk services to all of its 1,800 employees, including approximately 1,000 remote field technicians.

BÖWE BELL + HOWELL delivers a broad range of document management solutions that increase productivity, efficiency, media flexibility and message integrity. With thousands of employees worldwide, including a large field service organization, their IT staff needed a solution that could quickly and easily manage, secure and protect its large remote workforce.

“It is always challenging to deliver quality IT support to the BÖWE BELL + HOWELL associates who are based in our main facilities, but it is a real struggle to deliver the same quality to our field employees who directly interact with our customers on a day-to-day basis,” said Ron Ridge, vice president and CIO for BÖWE BELL + HOWELL. “We searched for a partner who could help us improve overall IT and desktop management support for all of our employees regardless of where they are located.”

After evaluating competitive offerings, the company decided Everdream’s proven, outsourced suite of services was the most attractive option.

In addition, Everdream provides integrated desktop support processes, tools and resources as part their complete desktop management solution.

“We are very excited about our relationship with Everdream,” added Ridge. “Prior to our implementation, we did not have much insight into our network. Now, I log on to the Everdream Control Center every day because it provides me with real-time visibility into what is running on our PC’s—from operating systems to patch levels and anti-virus updates—enabling us to proactively control and secure our computer assets.”
