“Employees can quickly be working from wherever they need to work. This has been a huge benefit for us — we don’t have to worry about hardware, it just scales.” — Infrastructure manager, U.S. transportation and logistics services
The interviewed organizations said they were able to reduce help desk costs, improve agility, speed up employee onboarding, reduce overall IT desktop management resource needs, avoid significant software and hardware costs, and provide employees with a more effective and productive application and desktop experience. The customers were ultimately able to achieve far more, while also typically paying less, compared to legacy on-premises solutions or no VDI solution at all.
