DEG – Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH (DEG), a subsidiary of KfW Bankengruppe, has been a reliable partner to private-sector enterprises operating in developing and emerging-market countries for 60 years. DEG provides its customers with tailor-made solutions, including financing, promotional programmes and advice tailored to individual needs. With a portfolio of around EUR 9.2 billion in approximately 80 countries and 20 locations around the globe DEG is one of the world’s largest private-sector development financiers.
DEG’s existing deployment strategy was slow, difficult to manage, expensive to procure and required high maintenance.
They faced the challenge of lengthy deployment cycles and inconsistent system configurations across their global notebook fleet. The manual configuration of settings and software packaging proved to be time-consuming and error-prone, leading to delays and an inconsistent end-user experience.
The organization sought a solution that would automate system configuration, simplify software packaging and expedite the OS delivery process.
XOAP helped DEG speed up notebook deployment around the world while lowering costs.
Quick & easy workplace delivery
XOAP helped DEG accelerate global notebook deployment by automating configuration and software delivery with Microsoft Intune, Autopilot, PowerShell DSC, and PSADT – cutting deployment time, reducing costs, and improving consistency and scalability worldwide.
Using this comprehensive solution stack, we achieved efficient system configuration, smooth software packaging, and a streamlined OS delivery process.
As a result, deployment time was reduced and the overall user experience improved.
Devices are registered in Azure AD hybrid environment and prepared using Microsoft Intune and Windows Autopilot.
XOAP uses PowerShell DSC and PSADT to automate system configuration and software deployment.
Notebooks are shipped directly to users worldwide and automatically configured upon first login, ensuring fast and consistent setups.
Thanks to XOAP, DEG can now send ready-to-use notebooks to employees anywhere quickly and easily.
