Have you struggled to map your IT services with your network assets? Are you processing routines manually to ensure they happen? Do you know what assets are in compliance with your IT Services? Join us for this informative session as we answer these challenges through an automated policy driven approach to delivering your IT Services. Hear from one of your peers on how they have transformed their service delivery to nested polices and see how they pinpoint problem areas before they become an issue.
6. Who Gets It?
• Policy Management is part of the
core license. Everyone has access
to it.
• A few SaaS configurations do not
currently own it, but it is easy to
upgrade
7. Scott’s Goals for PM
• Save time & streamline onboarding
• Less configuration mistakes in
Kaseya
• Increased management accuracy
• Scalability
8. What did you learn?
• Changed it 3+ times
• The more granular you are the
better off you will be
• If you end of with a hundred
policies, don’t worry – it is good!
• Should have “dipped our toe in”
sooner
17. Scott’s Goals for PM

Chad to transition into the start of the major pointsTalk about how copy settings requires manual assignment. New machine gets added, or an existing agent is uninstalled and reinstalled. You have to 1st know about it or stumble upon it, then you have to manually go and copy your base service template. Less accurate and more time consuming.
