Overview
Ivanti, formally known as LANDesk, is a product in use by Saunders Technical Support in order to provide remote assistance to our users and deploy software. While our users do not need to be concerned about most of the functionality of Ivanti, it does help to be informed about some of the things you may notice with the software installed onto your system.
