Case Study: Since installing Computrace from Absolute Software, laptop accountability is up, thefts are down, and the annual laptop hand-out/take-back tasks are completed 30% faster, saving over $47,000 per year in time and resources.

Case Study: “With Computrace, I can identify and locate our entire computer fleet in a matter of minutes, without leaving the office… [Computrace] has really helped us to get a handle on our inventory, and definitely saves a lot of time.”

Case Study: “As the victim of computer theft, not only do you have to absorb the financial impact of stolen assets, but you are also forced to accept the risk of data security. When your machines are stolen, and you have potentially sensitive company information walking around out there, you realize how vulnerable you are. We knew that we simply did not have the capabilities to protect these laptops nor what they contained – so we turned to Absolute Software.”

Case Study: "Computrace has been an excellent investment. It's simple to use and it's a no-brainer for anyone who wants to manage their PC resources. I have already stipulated to Dell that every time we order a new laptop, Computrace is to be a part of the standard configuration."

Case Study: Due to a heightened profile a major U.S. federal agency had received because of a recent event, the agency knew they needed to focus on computer and data security. After a very successful pilot project conducted with Absolute, the agency purchased 30,000 licenses of Computrace.

Case Study: “Each day a computer is booted up, Absolute sends any changes to the hardware and software data points. We find out exactly what each computer is running, how much hard drive space is available, whether memory cards are missing, and more. It's a critical tool for lifecycle management."

Case Study: “The technical and IT managers who work for me are experienced professionals, and nothing much gets by them. But they had to admit that ‘the boss came up with a pretty good solution’ to the laptop theft/loss problem when he recommended Computrace."

Case Study: "The Absolute Recovery Team was able to track and recover a critical piece of hardware for MDx Medical, proving its worth many times over. I am a very happy customer of Absolute Software. In fact, I have already recommended Computrace to two other companies we do business with."

Case Study: "It's important that we raise awareness about Computrace. Laptops can walk away very easily, so we need to make sure our assets are always protected."

Case Study: "Computrace was selected because it is a very cost effective system which requires no intervention from our IT team. Implementation was a doddle, Computrace was installed at the build stage by Dell and was activated when we purchased the licenses, and everything else was taken care of."

Case Study: “Computrace immediately gave us visibility into our laptop population. We can see where the laptop is, who is logging in and what software is installed…It has taken us from 30% IT asset auditing capability to well over 95% on computers that are outside our facilities.”

Case Study: "IT asset management is a top priority for Grant Thornton. We are achieving asset management accuracy of 99.7%...resulting in considerable cost savings."

Case Study: "We thought we had lost about ten (laptops), but then we checked our inventory with Computrace asset reports and found that at least half a dozen had simply drifted to other parts of the college. It's a great tool for school or college IT departments."

Case Study: "We installed ComputraceComplete on a few select laptops and shipped them to and from high theft areas. The 'sting' program was a great success and resulted in three Dell Latitude notebook computers being stolen in two separate incidents in one month."

Case Study: "We had a real problem with laptops not being returned to the College after students withdrew from their programs without graduating. Our investment in Computrace is helping pay for itself by the incentive provided by the remote Data Delete function."
