“Installing traditional desktop PCs was initially considered but rejected as it didn’t give the freedom or flexibility for students to work. Instead, we’ve invested in a Citrix XenDesktop VDI platform to create an environment where students can log in from wherever they are to access their own personal desktop profile and applications.”
"In my view, the IGEL deployment with two displays has improved staff productivity and staff retention, because everything is now much easier for them to do. The staff love it and they are now free to interact with customers and provide the Druids Glen experience without barriers from their IT system.”
"Our future plans include expanding the deployment into the front office, starting with our secretaries, where we hope to experience additional CAPEX savings by extending the life of their desktop computers.”
"The ROI with IGEL is tremendous. We don’t spend a lot of time supporting our endpoints. We ship out the IGEL device, the end-user plugs it in, logs into their desktop and begins working right away. It’s just that easy.”
"I tell my staff, I wish all my decisions were this easy. Law firms, for good reason, generally, are conservative and decisive, especially with these types of changes. We want to make a selection that delivers real benefits for the investment and for our clients. The decision to move to IGEL was clear, and it has immediately made my job easier, and the attorneys in our firm consistently comment on the improvements they see in their productivity with the IGEL thin clients.”
“ Out of the box, the IGEL thin client performance was great, they really delivered a ‘wow’ factor we didn’t expect. The second screen support is superior and application performance, even for our furthest away users, was exceptional.”
“We studied reference case studies as well as undertaking our own tests of various thin client brands.”
"Students love the new system. In the old Kilmarnock Campus, some of the PCs were nearing end-of-life and were about to be decommissioned. Now everything is a lot quicker and they get the same experience irrespective of the device. This means they can jump from one to another and it’s the same experience.”
"No other vendor comes close to what IGEL has to offer in terms of management, functionality and ease-of-use. The customization capabilities available through the IGEL Universal Management Suite are like no other.”
"I plugged the UD Pocket into one of our endpoints and it worked exactly like they said it would. It was so easy to boot the IGEL OS on our existing hardware. I left it running on the machine and no one said a word during the duration of the test. It was such a seamless experience that we knew right away IGEL was the solution for us.”
“The thin client really impresses us with its performance. It provides us a highly safe terminal platform in a reliable and compact case.”
“Given that our workload was increasing, we began thinking about how we could permanently minimize operational tasks about two years ago. We also wanted to have more time for strategic tasks in the future.”
"The IGEL solution not only met the requirements of Smallingerland in terms of hardware specifi cations, but with its Universal Management Suite (UMS) it also off ered the best management tool by far.”
"We have built a strong business relationship with IGEL. They are responsive to our needs, understand our business objectives and are flexible in their approach – in summary, an excellent company to do business with.”
“We experience very few hardware issues with the IGELs but when we do support is very easy. A few checks by the user often resolves the issue but if a replacement IGEL is required it can be up and running very quickly.”
