Management Essentials
Foundation IT management — identity, workstation security, MFA enforcement, and integrated ticket management in a single subscription.
Overview
The infrastructure controls every organization needs.
Management Essentials delivers foundational IT management capabilities designed to streamline core infrastructure functions. It establishes security frameworks for user identity verification and workstation protection, restricts access to sensitive organizational data, and enables SSO across commonly used business applications including email, cloud storage, communication platforms, and credential management tools.
Macktez can design and implement automated onboarding pipelines; the hands-on onboarding, offboarding, and day-to-day help desk work is handled through our Managed Support retainer. Management Essentials itself covers the back-end identity and workstation infrastructure.
