In enterprise IT environments, especially in the financial services sector, reducing downtime and accelerating issue resolution are critical to operational success. But traditional endpoint management tools often leave a crucial gap: they provide data to administrators but keep end users in the dark.
This case study explores how a large BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) firm transformed its IT operations by partnering with Anakage—a platform that recently introduced real-time device insights directly within its end-user facing application, previously available only to administrators.
With 5,000 endpoints across the organisation, the firm achieved a 40% reduction in Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR), improved compliance posture, and a remarkable 86% success rate in software remediation—by making data accessible to the people closest to the problem: the end users themselves.

The Problem: Delays, Blind Spots, and Tool Fatigue
Despite having multiple endpoint management systems, the organization’s IT team faced persistent pain points:
- Delayed troubleshooting due to lack of user visibility into system health.
- High support ticket volumes for issues users could have resolved themselves.
- Inconsistent patching and software remediation, especially for third-party tools.
- Fragmented diagnostic data for IT admins, spread across multiple platforms.
The existing setup kept diagnostic insights confined to the admin console. End users had no visibility into their device’s performance or compliance posture—leading to reactive support workflows and avoidable escalations.
The Anakage Approach: Bringing Insights to the Frontline
Anakage’s solution turned this dynamic on its head by making deep device insights directly available to end users via a lightweight, intuitive application. This shift gave users real-time visibility and simple tools to identify and resolve issues independently—reducing reliance on the help desk.
What Changed?
From Admin-Only to End-User-Facing
Previously, device health analytics—battery performance, patch status, up time, software inventory—were limited to the admin portal. Now, this information is embedded in a user-facing desktop application.
Self-Remediation Tools
Users can take immediate action on common issues like installing missing patches, uninstalling outdated software (such as Flash Player and 7-Zip), or running health checks—all with minimal IT involvement
Impact and Outcomes
40% Reduction in MTTR
With real-time data in both the hands of users and admins, issue resolution was accelerated significantly.
86% Software Remediation Success Rate
Anakage outperformed the existing patching tool in executing install, update, and uninstall actions for essential software.
Fewer Tickets, Better User Productivity
End users resolved minor device issues themselves, resulting in fewer helpdesk escalations and improved employee uptime.
Improved Compliance and Patch Hygiene
Simple status indicators like Compliant / Not Compliant helped both users and admins stay audit-ready and informed.
Strategic Takeaways for IT Leaders
- Visibility is Power: Giving users access to their own device status reduces dependency and increases awareness.
- Shared Insights Reduce Friction: Aligning user and admin views leads to faster, more informed support actions.
- Lightweight Delivery Matters: Anakage’s non-intrusive app ensures adoption without introducing performance overhead.
- Compliance Is a Team Sport: When users understand what’s missing or outdated, they participate actively in securing endpoints.
Conclusion: A New Model for Endpoint Operations
In fast-paced, compliance-driven industries like BFSI, IT leaders must look beyond traditional admin-centric tools. Anakage’s move to democratize device insights marks a critical evolution in endpoint operations. By giving end users the tools and data they need, organizations can reduce support loads, improve system health, and meet compliance standards more efficiently.
This BFSI firm’s success proves that the future of IT operations is not just centralized—but collaborative.
