Enterprise-level App and Desktop Experiences for Everyone in Your Business

In 2020 many companies were caught off guard with the quick pivot to a remote, work-from-home business model. Yet, the workarounds that were good enough for a few months of quarantine, aren’t sustainable.

With the world slowly opening and people looking toward the next “normal,” organizations have an opportunity to ensure that their entire workforce—teleworking, traveling, in-office or a hybrid—have the tools and access they need to advance opportunities. For many this involves evolving to the next level of digital transformation, the digital workspace.

Digital workspaces enable users to be more agile in where they work, and how they work, in order to be more productive. The backbone of the digital workspace, Desktops as a Service (DaaS) creates an adaptive workspace with all the apps and tools users need to do their jobs on their terms. This includes not only your office staff, but also power-using engineers, your fleet of call center reps and those within your facilities using thin clients.

Power For All Users

For many businesses, transitioning their employees to work from home was a disruption hiccup. Having the access and apps they needed to stay productive and being able to work on their PCs and other personal devices, using VPNs, were all it took to get by.

However, engineers, designers, scientists and other power users who relied on dedicated graphics workstations to perform the most demanding tasks, such as manipulating 3D models and visually analyzing large data sets, were at a loss in many cases. The standalone workstations they used were unavailable and installing these apps on the PCs they had at home, plus the RAM and storage required to be productive, was not an option. Cloud-based DaaS opened the door for power users to not only stay productive, but in many cases enhance their productivity with the agility of cloud-deployed desktops and apps.

As businesses look to the future, many are re-evaluating the cost of acquisition and maintenance for these standalone workstations. They like what they see with DaaS supporting their most advanced users, giving them a secure and immersive 3D-graphics experience from any laptop or mobile device.

Another group that was hit hard by the quick shift to a remote workforce was IT. Responsible for configuring and deploying PCs and thin clients to employees working from home, as well as managing and maintaining those devices, while also from home, was a nightmare. Companies languished as their in-house staff focused on solving user problems, often mundane, instead of ensuring the security of their infrastructure or having the time or energy to focus on the strategic initiatives core to the business.

DaaS also makes it easier for your internal resources to quickly and effortlessly deploy high-definition cloud desktops and apps, minimize management overheads, reduce administrative burdens, and create more agile, secure IT environments.
