I just bought 1000 Lenovo ThinkPad Tablets. How do I get them all set up for my users without unboxing and touching each one? Lenovo Customer Challenge • Answer: • Lenovo Imaging Technology Center Factory Configuration Services
Android Tablets Are Not Deployed Like Windows Machines • Installing an image on Android is like installing new firmware on a hard drive • There is no Windows install, bare metal deployment, or Ghost – existing customer processes won’t work • Flashing or writing your own image voids the system warranty – you must use the tools on the tablet preload to load your changes and apps • Customers add corporate custom applications & approved 3rd party apps through: • Lenovo ITC preload of your custom image • Lenovo Corporate App Store (Customer managed portal) • Lenovo’s ITC is a unique differentiator in the tablet market
