ANAGEMENT
Compaq pioneered intelligent manageability in 1995 with the introduction of the industry's first
fully manageable desktop personal computers. Since then, Compaq has led an industry-wide
effort to develop the standards and infrastructure required to effectively manage desktop PCs.
Compaq Intelligent Manageability provides standards-based solutions for managing and
controlling desktops in a networked environment. Compaq works closely with leading
management software solution providers in the industry to ensure compatibility between
Intelligent Manageability and these products. Desktop Management is an important aspect of our
broad commitment to providing you with lifecycle management solutions and services to assist
