Global entertainment company manages thousands of devices with GitOps workflows

A global interactive entertainment company develops hardware, software, and online services used by millions of people worldwide.

Supporting this environment requires managing thousands of devices across multiple operating systems and global offices.

Fleet helps the company unify device management across macOS, Windows, and Linux, and integrates device telemetry into its broader analytics infrastructure.

At a glance

  • Industry: Technology and interactive entertainment

  • Devices managed: Thousands of macOS, Windows, and Linux devices

  • Primary requirements: GitOps workflows, on-premise hosting, enterprise logging

  • Previous challenge: Fragmented device management tools

The challenge

Before Fleet, the company relied on different tools for different operating systems.

Mac management is evaluated against Jamf. Windows management relies on tools such as Ivanti Neurons. Linux systems have limited visibility and inconsistent coverage.

This fragmentation creates operational overhead and makes it harder to maintain consistent policies across the environment.

The team wants a platform that manages all operating systems while supporting the automation workflows used by their engineering teams.

The evaluation criteria

Three capabilities were essential:

  1. Self-hosted deployment
    Run the platform within the company’s AWS infrastructure.

  2. GitOps configuration management
    Manage device policies through Git repositories and automated workflows.

  3. Enterprise logging integration
    Stream device telemetry into systems like Splunk for security monitoring.

The solution

Fleet allows the team to manage device configuration through Git-based workflows.

Policies and automation scripts are stored in repositories and deployed through existing CI/CD pipelines. This approach aligns device management with the company’s existing engineering practices.

Fleet also integrates with the company’s logging and analytics stack, allowing device telemetry to feed into enterprise monitoring platforms.

The results

Fleet improved operational efficiency while reducing complexity.

  • Rapid device migrations: Large groups of devices can be enrolled quickly once automation is in place.

  • Automated remediation: Enrollment and configuration issues are resolved automatically in many cases.

  • Cost optimization: Fleet helps identify unused software licenses and improve hardware lifecycle decisions.

Why they recommend Fleet

Fleet provides a unified platform for macOS, Windows, and Linux. For this company, that means fewer tools, better automation, and stronger visibility across its global device fleet.
