"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.”

“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.”

“Following the merger, we were able to have two icons on the device at startup; one pointing to Aberdeen Standard Investments and one to Standard Life’s technology infrastructure. This has been a huge benefit for our migration teams. They can deploy one IGEL managed device and not worry about which users will be using it and which technology infrastructure they need to connect through to.”

“Margins are tight, so we need to be creative about using technology to ensure the productivity of our skilled nursing staff. We have to continue to find new ways to move the dial without adding IT resources and containing IT spend.”

"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."

"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.”

"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.”

"One of the best things about IGEL is its manageability and flexibility. Like any other technology solution, it can do a million things. However, we needed it to do about 100 things well, and IGEL delivered with flying colors. In less than 24 hours we were able to stand up a server, launch the IGEL Universal Management Suite console, and begin managing our fleet of remote endpoint devices. It was that simple.”

"We chose to partner with IGEL because they were able to meet our short list of needs – manageability, flexibility, scalability and security – while at the same time making it possible for us to leverage our existing hardware resources, which also helped to reduce capital expenditures.”

"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.”

“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 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."
