"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 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.”

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 with a simple drag and drop interface.”

“When we started looking at how to deliver WFH, we considered purchasing more laptops. The business had about 1,200 but we struggled to buy more – to cater for 4,500 employees – given the increase demand for laptops from organisations globally. And as many staff didn’t have appropriate endpoints at home, this drove us to look at how we could repurpose our existing estate of PCs which were now sitting idle in the office.”

"One thing that is particularly pleasing about the project is how the council has used technology to save money whilst giving staff tools to work more efficiently and effectively. We’re looking very carefully now at how we can release building assets through the use of Citrix and IGEL."

"We like the IGEL UMS because it is easy to configure and makes the management of the IGEL thin clients virtually hands-free for our IT team. Previous to IGEL, some of our processes were manual, and often required an on-site technician to troubleshoot or configure desktop clients. Now we can do this from one central location, which saves time and reduces costs.”

"Because there are very few or zero moving parts with the IGEL hardware, is very reliable. We’ve had only one failure out of more than 1,400 thin clients deployed since implementing IGEL more than two years ago. The German engineering is rock solid.”

"I also think it is important to note that IGEL has always been ‘all in’ with Strayer, working with us to develop and update the products to make them better to meet our unique needs and requirements. Endpoint computing is their main line of business and that makes a huge difference for us. Their competitors are not as focused and often behind in innovation."

"With a time saving from six hours to less than one hour, we will be able to expand our digital exam programme.”

"The IGEL deployment has been a huge success for the college. It has been a complete game changer – just by moving to IGEL we have addressed so many problems."

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

“We need around 100 thin clients so that our therapists can play back recordings of meetings with adequate quality via the network or locally.”

"Our client took a significant hit from malware and the IGEL came to the rescue. Within a few hours, we had an entire department up and running on the IGEL Linux OS, and because we didn’t have to wipe the machines’ data, integrity on the hardware was maintained.”

"And, because IGEL and Citrix work very well together, the combination of the Linux-based IGEL OS and Citrix VDI makes a lot of sense for them.”

"What sold us on IGEL was the Management Console – hands down IGEL is better than any of its competitors at centrally managing endpoints residing within cloud and virtualized computing environments.”
