Event Description

Modern endpoint teams have more management tools than ever, but many still hit a control gap when business PCs become difficult to reach, support, or secure. Devices go offline. Systems become unresponsive. Users are distributed. In those moments, visibility alone isn't enough.

Join us for a practical discussion on what it takes to close the gap between managed devices and a PC fleet IT can actually control. The conversation will explore where software-based management can fall short, how Intel vPro's hardware-enabled capabilities extend security and remote manageability below the OS, and how Insight helps organizations activate and operationalize those capabilities across the fleet. Teams that have operationalized these capabilities have reported reducing IT maintenance visits by up to 90% — and attendees will leave with a clearer view of how to get there in their own environment, improve resolution speed, and get more value from the endpoint investments they already have.

BWG Connect, Insight Enterprises & Intel invite you to join an interactive event with industry peers to review & discuss practical insights across the digital space.

As always, there will be no sales pitch and all attendees are welcome to listen and learn.

Discussion Topics

  • The control gap is real, and it shows up at the worst moments
    • Modern endpoint tools have improved visibility, but IT teams still lose control when devices become difficult to reach.
    • The gap becomes visible exactly when it matters most — during remediation, integrity checks, or when avoiding a hands-on truck roll.
  • Security teams are fighting increasingly sophisticated attacks that software alone can’t defend
    • Management agents, OS-level controls, and standard remote support all depend on a healthy, reachable device.
    • When the device is offline, unresponsive, powered down, or outside normal support channels, software-only approaches narrow fast.
  • Intel will discuss how vPro's hardware-enabled security and manageability capabilities create a stronger foundation for fleet control — including capabilities that operate below the OS.
    • Intel vPro brings hardware-based security below the OS, AI-enhanced threat detection, and remote remediation to help IT stop threats earlier, reduce attack surfaces, and secure devices without slowing users down.
  • The activation gap: capability already in place, value not yet captured
    • Many organizations already have vPro-capable devices and existing Microsoft Intune investments — but haven't operationalized either.
    • Capabilities go underused when teams lack the time, expertise, or implementation path to activate them across the fleet.
    • Insight will discuss practical paths to assessment, configuration, integration, deployment, and ongoing support.
  • Fleet inconsistency creates hidden support debt
    • Mixed device standards, uneven configuration, and fragmented lifecycle decisions compound IT workload.
    • Inconsistent fleets make security outcomes harder to maintain and scale.
  • The real value comes from turning secure remote control into measurable operational impact
    • The conversation will focus on how teams can reduce hands-on maintenance, speed up issue resolution, and extend the value of tools they already use without adding unnecessary management complexity
  • Turning capability into measurable operational impact
    • The conversation will focus on reducing hands-on maintenance, speeding issue resolution, and extending the value of endpoint investments already in place — without adding management complexity.
    • Teams that have operationalized hardware-enabled remote manageability have reported reducing IT maintenance visits by up to 90% — the group will discuss what that looks like in practice, what teams had to change, and how to measure operational impact in their own environment.
