"The day I set up our CEO’s home office with an IGEL UD7 supporting three monitors, Microsoft WVD, and a Cisco phone, it was amazing. He was so excited to see what we were able to accomplish, and now he has a whole new appreciation for IT.”
“We ran a development of the web application, which took longer than we thought. But for the actual roll-out of IGEL the switch was made at 66 places. At the same time we changed screens/ monitors at most of the places. We have about 40 local IT-supports, which are run from our office, who were out and did the change, and that took about 2 months, and for the most part the change went very quickly and easily. It went smoothly. For all the places we needed to update the firmware on all the thin clients when they were rolled out, and that also went very well.”
"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.”
"It didn’t take us long to realize that the IGEL UD Pocket was exactly what we had been looking for to provide our CAD students with secure access to their graphics-intensive design applications.”
"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.”
“Traditional PCs run up high maintenance and operating costs even though they are underutilized in terms of capacity. We don‘t need huge processing power at each workstation. By virtualizing both the applications and the thin clients, we have improved efficiency and are making both direct and indirect savings.”
"If you put the time and eff ort to learn the UMS, it’s an excellent tool and makes life really easy. The beauty is you can make confi guration changes which can be rolled out to all devices in minutes not hours. For example, a fi rmware update can be remotely done or even set up to update automatically out of office hours when staff aren’t about."
"The IGEL devices are smaller, faster to deploy, use less energy and are easier to use than the old PCs.”
"With IGEL and Parallels, we are able to solve a majority of HIPAA issues due to the secure method in which we deliver virtual desktops to the end user.”
"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.”
"The bottom line is we delivered a two-year project in weeks. That’s because of IGEL OS, the ease of management of the whole environment, plus the hard work of our IT department and logistics teams. People have been able to work pretty much as normal off ering the kind of customer service that our clients expect. It’s been fabulous.”
“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.”
"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.”
"With the IGEL Universal Desktop thin clients and UMS software, we are now able to immediately take advantage of the latest releases and enhancements from Citrix and other software providers due to IGEL’s timely product updates. They’ve put the power back in our hands in terms of how and when we want to roll-out our endpoint updates.”
