"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."
"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.”
“People had their favorite system and if they couldn‘t use it, they had to choose a different workplace and adapt the settings to their own preferences. That takes time - and can go wrong.”
“Looking for endpoints that were easier to manage and update from central location."
"To reap the benefi ts of desktop virtualisation you need a strong thin client solution, and that solution is IGEL thin clients and its management suite.”
“The move to an end-toend virtual desktop solution, utilising IGEL thin clients supported by Citrix Xen Desktop, has allowed us to provide a high quality, highly effective way of working for employees at remote sites. The IGEL solution is the backbone of our flexibility and mobility project. It will cost less to own and operate, we will be able to work out how much will be used in terms of resources and the system can be expanded to meet the future needs of WDH.”
"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.”
"IGEL’s superior management capabilities was a key selling point for us. Also, because the IGEL UDC software is designed to quickly and efficiently convert existing thin clients, desktops, and endpoints into IGEL Linux OS-powered thin clients, we knew that in selecting the IGEL solution, we would also realize a significant reduction in capital expenditures.”
“We need around 100 thin clients so that our therapists can play back recordings of meetings with adequate quality via the network or locally.”
"Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of our employees did not understand the ability to work from home. This has become the biggest game-changer for our organization since adopting IGEL, Citrix and Microsoft. The flexibility afforded by the cloud workspace solution has enabled us to keep operating– and in some cases has saved jobs.”
“To support scalability and reduce the strain on our IT staff and helpdesk, we were moving toward a thin client solution.”
"The IGEL devices are smaller, faster to deploy, use less energy and are easier to use than the old PCs.”
"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.”
"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.”
