CLARKSON COLLEGE

A four-person IT team needed visibility across a remote, hybrid campus — and a way to manage updates without babysitting. PDQ Connect’s automation and reporting gave them time back to support students, lead projects, and leave imaging in the past.

OSU CARLSON COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE

With hundreds of devices and multiple IT priorities, OSU’s veterinary medicine college needed a better way to patch, track, and manage endpoints. PDQ Connect gave them data, confidence, and faster response times across their entire fleet.

GENERAL EQUIPMENT & SUPPLIES

With nearly 400 devices across 10 remote sites and just three IT staff, General Equipment & Supplies needed visibility, control, and automation.

It's just easy to use. It's a single pane of glass. It's got minimal interruption to your end users. It just sits there doing its thing.
