“The first application we provided from the computer center with the help of Citrix software was the SP-Expert work scheduling program from Interflex Datensysteme.”

"We wanted a cost effective way to manage all of our devices."

Repurposing the old hardware gave us exactly what we needed, at each center, even with many devices to deploy we were in and out within 30 minutes. The shift was basically transparent to the end users; and, for IT, created a single, homogeneous desktop landscape that is easy to manage …

"Historically the municipalities – which are each relatively small - had their own IT departments, budgets and infrastructure. Creating a shared ICT service for them has meant they can punch above their individual weight in terms of the quality of enterprise technology purchased. Day to day IT management has also …

“The endpoints were out of date and required replacing but we wanted a new solution which had multi-protocol capabilities. This served two functions – to allow us to transition to VMware’s Blast Extreme, but also to run a dual protocol environment so that we could stage the migration in our …

“We’re running about 800 applications within the municipalities – around 200 are already web-based SaaS solutions, others are legacy systems over a decade old. Our goal is to give safe access to these SaaS apps directly from IGEL so as to reduce the amount of costly hardware required to underpin …

"Our new leadership team knows best-of-breed IT solutions are required to deliver a responsive online service, particularly to tech-savvy members. The public want things immediately, which requires infrastructure that is fast, secure and functional.”

“We use IGEL within many areas. Everything from the train workshops to general offi ce use. We also have some monitors out at the stations, which run on IGEL.”

"Other thin client solutions we had looked at required a significant amount of time and resources to manage and clone workstations. With IGEL, we recognized that we could save time and money due to the robust nature of the Universal Management Suite software, and that was a big selling point …

"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.”

“We studied reference case studies as well as undertaking our own tests of various thin client brands.”

“With the help of Citrix and IGEL we were able not only to optimize our existing financial and personnel resources but also, at the same time, to improve performance and ensure reliable IT operation.”

"Compared to the fat clients, the administrative outlay is virtually zero and IT can concentrate more on the data center.”

"Students were the catalyst for change. Moving to VDI was a big change with many moving pieces. As part of this we needed a thin client platform that ‘just works’ which IGEL delivers.”
