RES Software is one of the founding ecosystem ISV partners that adds value to the Citrix desktop transformation model (DTM). RES Software helps customers complete their transition to a centrally controlled, optimally managed environment. After transformation, RES enables users and administrators to survive and thrive in this new world.

Pre-deployment Assessment

RES Workspace Manager gives IT simple-to-use tools to perform a full assessment of their environment before deployment which captures comprehensive baseline information about users and desktops. This “desktop sampler” encompasses:

• Devices and applications being used
  
• Drive and printer mappings
  
• Network access methods
  
• Other elements of the user environment

This is vital input to help IT design the ideal project to migrate from static rich endpoints to a more agile, centrally hosted scenario.

Controlled Deployment

RES Workspace Manager provides mechanisms for gradually stepping users into a workspace management model. Administrators can run through the process in a slow, controlled way: for example, focusing first on making printers context-aware, then making drive mapping context-aware, next replacing login scripts with event-driven configuration, and finally, capturing application preferences as workspace profiles. Every step of the way, changes can be easily rolled back should the need arise.

Efficient management and Security

Once the desktop transformation is complete, RES Workspace Manager provides additional control, security, and manageability across all user scenarios to help IT efficiently realize the full benefits of their next-generation environment for optimal return on investment.
