Use Case

Before BeyondTrust, Bechtle AG used various remote support tools that the team was not completely satisfied with. “We lacked integration with our company ITSM solution, ServiceNow.” explained Markus Sigle. In addition to increased IT productivity, Bechtle also wanted to achieve a higher level of data protection and IT security. “We wanted a guarantee that our data would not go through foreign servers.”

“The deciding factor for us was that we wanted to implement remote support according to the highest security criteria. The data should not leave the Bechtle network.“

Our Success and Future Plans

The BeyondTrust technology also provides valuable services in the newly built Bechtle parking garage, which was inaugurated in October 2017. Since then, employees at Bechtle headquarters in Neckarsulm have had 1,600 parking spaces available. The core of the building houses 50 charging stations for electric and hybrid vehicles, which are managed by a central unit. The operation of one of the largest e-filling stations in Germany is supported by BeyondTrust. “The suppliers of the energy charging stations must access the devices on a regular basis. Authorization and logging of all work is done through the BeyondTrust solution. “

Due to the success of the technical integration and the positive experience with the professional services team, Bechtle gradually expanded the BeyondTrust installation. BeyondTrust has help ensure that the legally required data protection mandates are met and all technologies are aligned to the highest security requirements.
