Folketidende Gruppen is a Danish media company with 65 employees and a two-person IT department. Like many lean IT teams, they faced a familiar challenge: too many routine maintenance tasks, too little time for strategic work.
The Challenge
With a small team responsible for the full IT stack, manual tracking of third-party software updates, driver maintenance, administrator rights management, and mobile device security was consuming a disproportionate share of their time. Every hour spent on manual patching was an hour not spent on initiatives that move the business forward.
The Solution
Folketidende Gruppen deployed a suite of CapaOne cloud services to automate their core IT operations:
- Application Manager — third-party software is now updated automatically twice daily
- Driver Manager — driver checks run three times per week without manual intervention
- Privilege Manager — administrator rights are managed centrally and securely
- Mobile Manager — mobile device security is handled consistently across the organization
Crucially, the rollout required no external consultants. The IT team configured and adopted the platform entirely on their own.
The Results
Automation dramatically reduced the manual workload for the two-person IT team. Systems stay consistently updated with minimal human intervention, and the team has reclaimed time to focus on higher-value work.
Thomas Nyborg Hansen, IT Manager at Folketidende Gruppen, summed it up plainly:
“CapaOne is so intuitive that we figured it out ourselves. It’’s like having a self-driving car.”
The organization continues to engage with the CapaInstaller User Group for ongoing knowledge sharing and best practices — staying connected to a broader community of IT professionals using the same platform.
Key Takeaways
- A two-person IT team can manage a 65-employee organization at scale with the right automation
- Self-service onboarding is possible — no consultant required
- Automated update cycles (twice daily for apps, three times weekly for drivers) keep systems green without manual tracking
