When I’m asked why more Chief Information Officers are turning to Ivanti, I usually start with the numbers:

  • 80% faster ticket resolution through automation
  • 30–40% lower software licence costs via tool consolidation
  • 94% patch compliance in under 10 days
  • 480+ IT staff hours saved per month

These aren’t just metrics. These reflect a broader shift in enterprise IT: the urgent need for simplification.

Enterprises today are overwhelmed. The average organisation now manages between 45 and 75 separate IT tools. According to Ivanti’s Tech at Work 2024 report, 71% of IT and security teams say their tech stack is too complex. This is not just eating into budgets; it’s damaging agility, security, and the overall employee experience.

Ivanti is the reset button.

At Think Tank Software Solutions, we’ve seen firsthand how Ivanti helps enterprises in South Africa simplify their digital environments by merging IT Service Management (ITSM), Unified Endpoint Management (UEM), cybersecurity, and Digital Employee Experience (DEX) into one intelligent, integrated platform.

One Platform. Multiple Wins.

A recent IDC study revealed that legacy tools consume 70% of IT budgets.³ Ivanti addresses this by consolidating fragmented systems into a single pane of glass, improving visibility, reducing costs, and streamlining support.

In one engagement, a client replaced 15 overlapping tools, cut licence fees by 35%, and improved service levels within six months.

Built for Flexible Work

Ivanti’s 2024 report shows that 1 in 3 employees believe their company isn’t adequately prepared for remote work. That’s a sentiment we’ve encountered across multiple industries and helped resolve.

Through Ivanti, we’ve enabled:

  • Onboarding times reduced from 90 minutes to under 10
  • Incident response times cut by 62%
  • Secure, scalable onboarding for remote teams

Security That Doesn’t Burn Out Your Team

74% of IT leaders now feel more vulnerable than ever before.⁴ Ivanti’s self-healing capabilities and automated patch management dramatically reduce risk—without overwhelming your internal teams.

In a financial services deployment we led:

  • Security risk exposure dropped by 70%
  • Silent IT failures were identified and resolved automatically, before users raised a single ticket
