The cost of care-and-feeding for user endpoints like desktop and laptop computers and mobile devices throughout their lifecycle typically far exceeds the purchase cost. Endpoint engineering (also called desktop engineering) is the practice of managing those costs, improving manageability and reliability of endpoints, securing endpoints, managing endpoint inventory, and generally improving the user experience of using endpoints. Many UC campuses engage in endpoint engineering activities. At this panel, we will offer short presentations from three campuses--UC Santa Cruz, UC Berkeley, and UC Davis--on their endpoint engineering efforts followed by a moderated discussion and audience Q&A.
