Finance users are some of the most demanding. They require instant access to their information, wherever they may be. Time is, literally, money. The increasingly mobile nature of the finance user makes the role of IT a difficult one. Using a combined Citrix and AppSense solution, it’s possible to both meet user demands and reduce management requirements for the IT department.

AppSense user virtualization represents a fundamental change in the way the corporate desktop is constructed, delivered and managed. The user component of a desktop (user personality) is decoupled from the operating system and applications, managed independently and applied into a desktop as needed without scripting, group policies or use of cumbersome user profiles—regardless of how the desktop is being delivered.

This alternative approach delivers key benefits for finance users. Managing the user aspect of the desktop in this way enables a consistent quality of service and experience for the user as well as faster login times—they remain productive at all times. By removing the need for roaming profiles, users can roam across distributed server silos without the potential for profile corruption that creates costly downtime.
