Eliminating Laptop Theft "Easy As Pie"

“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. For managing remote laptops in a global organization, Computrace is hands down the favorite – even more so for storage network technology. I would rate this product an A+.”

Dysart School District: Arizona’s Fastest-Growing School District Moves to Offer Laptops in the Classroom

“Having made a major investment in new HP laptops, one of the options we had for keeping track of them was ComputraceComplete from Absolute Software. It uses the Internet to help us track each computer, where it is located, who is logging in and, should one go missing, where it has been taken. We just report the missing computer to Absolute and they work with local law enforcement to find it and recover it for us. We can also inventory our computers at any time – which is an amazing feature for helping us with our budgets and appropriately allocating new computers to schools.”

National Urban League: Law and Order, New York Style

“We were very impressed that Computrace enabled such a quick recovery of the missing laptop. The moment the computer called in, the Computrace Recovery Team was able to trace the location, and we had our property back. If Computrace wasn’t installed on the missing laptop, we would never have seen it again. Knowing that all NUL’s machines are protected assures me that should others go missing – there’s a way to get them back.”

Allina Hospitals & Clinics Manage Laptops; Prevent Data Breaches with Computrace

“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 also allows us to verify that the laptop’s encryption is up to our standard – which is key for regulatory compliance. It has taken us from 30% IT asset auditing capability to well over 95% on computers that are outside our facilities.”

A Quick Fix: ComputracePlus Helps Recover Stolen Laptop for Orthopedics Northwest

“We’ve never had a laptop theft problem before, but as we found out the hard way, it can and does happen. You can always re-install software but lost hardware is a hardship; since laptops are a commodity, insurance coverage tends to not be that great. ComputracePlus 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, ComputracePlus is to be a part of the standard configuration.”
