Client management · COBOL & test automation

Clients up to date.
Core systems tested.

We support banks and larger companies in two areas: we manage Windows clients with SCCM and keep them up to date. And we develop COBOL applications and test them automatically. Remotely, as a project or an ongoing mandate.

Two specialist areas

Each area has one fixed contact person.

Area 1

Windows client management

We deploy software, patches and firmware centrally to your Windows clients and bring new Windows versions into operation on a plan.

  • Deploying and running clients with SCCM/MECM
  • Patch management for Windows and third-party software
  • Rolling out BIOS and firmware updates centrally
  • Integrating new Windows versions: images, task sequences, feature updates

    Co-management with Intune

    We connect SCCM to Intune so you manage devices on the network and on the road from one place.

    SCCM · Intune · Microsoft 365

  2. 1.2

    Security

    We protect clients with Microsoft Defender and show which devices are still missing their updates.

    Microsoft Defender · Patch compliance

  3. 1.3

    Backup & recovery

    We back up data so that nobody can alter the backup afterwards, and we restore it when needed.

    Veeam · Immutable backup

  4. 1.4

    Migration

    We plan moves to new Windows and server versions so your team can keep working.

Area 2

COBOL & test automation

We develop COBOL applications in banking environments and secure every change with automated tests.

  • Developing and maintaining COBOL applications
  • Automating regression tests with Toad
  • Safeguarding releases in banking environments
