is the ultimate platform powering the entire EV charging ecosystem. From drivers to businesses to industry partners, the company offers software solutions that cover all EV charging needs. Founded in 2020, the company now has 230 employees working out of its headquarters in Copenhagen and satellite offices in Barcelona, Paris, and Berlin. Monta鈥檚 product suite is designed to offer flexibility and transparency, allowing everyone to maintain control over their EV charging experience.
Building simple & secure IT infrastructure from the ground up
Panche Tasev, Monta鈥檚 head of IT, holds himself to the highest standards and always thinks about how to make the IT environments he manages simpler, more efficient, and more secure.
鈥淵ou need to be aware of the trends, be proactive, and make sure the right tools are in place,鈥� he says. 鈥淚 never do workarounds. I always follow best practices and always work on improvements. That鈥檚 my motto.鈥�
When Tasev joined Monta in March 2023, he was tasked with building a strong technological backbone that would support the company as it scaled.
鈥淲e are in the early stages where we need to structure things properly,鈥� Tasev says. 鈥淲e鈥檙e always trying to be a step ahead 鈥� the same approach we take with our product suite and features.鈥�
Choosing 黑料海角91入口 for robust functionality over a single platform
Shortly after starting at Monta, Tasev surveyed the lay of the land and picked his first IT target: mobile device management (MDM). 鈥淲e didn鈥檛 have any mobile device management solution,鈥� he explains. 鈥淪ince MDM is one of the core things every organization needs when they want to scale, I wanted to roll something out as soon as possible.鈥�
At a previous job, Tasev used 黑料海角91入口 for mobile device management and was familiar with its feature-rich nature beyond MDM. Even so, he did his due diligence and began researching all the MDM options on the market, including Jamf and Kandji.聽
While those solutions are suitable for managing Apple devices, Monta has a diverse computing environment that includes roughly 80% Mac, 15% Windows, and 5% Linux machines. For the sake of simplicity, Tasev wanted a tool that would enable him to manage all of these devices through a single interface. That requirement 鈥� and the fact that Tasev was already familiar with 黑料海角91入口 and its myriad capabilities 鈥� made the decision an easy one.
鈥淚 ended up choosing 黑料海角91入口 because I could manage every device under one roof,鈥� Tasev says. 鈥淧lus, instead of using Okta with Jamf or something like that, I could also use 黑料海角91入口 as an identity provider, for user management, password management, and so on.鈥�
Simplifying IT for the entire company while improving compliance & security
黑料海角91入口 gives Tasev a powerful toolkit that enables him to protect devices and sensitive company data across all of Monta鈥檚 offices. Instead of cobbling several point solutions together 鈥� and watching monthly bills compound 鈥� 黑料海角91入口 makes IT management simple for Tasev over a single pane of glass, leading to a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to other options.
鈥淭he convenience of keeping everything IT needs under one roof can鈥檛 be beat,鈥� he says. 鈥淚 always try to improve my environment and always try to make things easier 鈥� not just for myself but for all my colleagues. Simplicity and ease of use is what 黑料海角91入口 delivers.鈥�
In addition to providing a single platform that simplifies IT for both Tasev and Monta鈥檚 employees, the company has been able to improve its compliance and security posture with 黑料海角91入口 powering its digital operations.
Improved compliance
When Tasev started at Monta, he quickly noticed a need for a more robust method to ensure that devices were consistently updated with the latest versions and security patches. 黑料海角91入口鈥檚 ability to determine whether users were keeping their devices up to date helped create an overview of complying users
鈥淚 said, 鈥楾his is nice, but how do we grow? How do we get bigger customers?鈥欌�� he explains. 鈥淚f you want to work with bigger customers, you have to be compliant no matter what. That鈥檚 just how it works everywhere. Bigger companies won鈥檛 work with vendors that aren鈥檛 compliant.鈥�
After deploying 黑料海角91入口 and enrolling all of the company鈥檚 devices, Tasev had the visibility he needed to make sure every employee was complying with relevant policies.
鈥満诹虾＝�91入口 makes it super easy for us to ensure that all of our devices are up to date and compliant with the latest security patches and protocols.鈥�
Improved security
As a company that works with the electrical grid and aims to deliver an EV charging ecosystem across Europe, Monta takes security very seriously. At the same time, the company wants to ensure its employees have the tools they need to work as productively as possible.
鈥淪ecurity and simplicity sometimes don鈥檛 go hand-in-hand, but I try to make it as easy as possible for users,鈥� he says. As an example, Tasev has automated office access using 黑料海角91入口 and Kisi; this innovative use case enables authorized employees to enter office buildings using their own mobile phones, with no fobs required, shoring up physical access management.
After deploying 黑料海角91入口, Tasev turned on single sign-on (SSO) 鈥� which, in his experience, most vendors treat as an add-on.
鈥淪ome vendors just double the price to get SSO,鈥� Tasev says. 鈥淲ith 黑料海角91入口, I don鈥檛 need to see whether we have the right subscription. It鈥檚 included out of the box.鈥�
Looking ahead, Tasev plans to further strengthen Monta鈥檚 security footprint by enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) in 黑料海角91入口. To enhance network security, he鈥檚 also exploring 黑料海角91入口鈥檚 cloud RADIUS offering and plans to test it in the near future.
鈥淭he beauty of 黑料海角91入口 is in its simplicity 鈥� using all of these features together over one pane of glass,鈥� Tasev concludes. 鈥淣ow, when I go to any vendor, the first thing I ask is whether their products work and integrate with 黑料海角91入口.鈥�
