CUPERTINO, Calif., May 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Organizations need simplified virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and desktop-as-a-service (DaaS) deployments that drive workforce efficiency and favorable economics. Workspot, with a dramatically different approach to cloud-based virtual desktops and apps, is strengthening its Microsoft partnership and building customer momentum with its next-generation VDI.

• Customer success momentum: As a leader in cloud-native VDI and Desktop-as-a-Service solutions, Workspot is enabling companies of all sizes to go live with desktop virtualization in just 60 minutes or less, including:
• • A university with more than 30,000 students is able to serve its students more effectively, while reducing the cost and complexity of desktop management.
  • A leading healthcare provider with a nationwide footprint that previously faced performance issues affecting doctors’ time and patient care.
  • An engineering firm with 1,600 users that sought a solution to the problem of expensive GPU work stations and the difficulty of collaborating across geographies on large design files.

Amitabh Sinha, CEO and co-founder of Workspot, said: “According to industry analysts, 50 percent of new virtual desktop infrastructure users will be deployed on desktop-as-a-service platforms by 2019. Workspot solutions allow IT to choose whether they want to deploy their apps and desktops on-premises, in the cloud or both – unlike any other solution out there. We’re continuing to innovate and build on our momentum delivering turnkey VDI solutions in a fraction of the time and cost of legacy VDI 1.0 solutions.”

Tom Merkle, director of information technology, Houston Eye, said: “We’re the largest ophthalmology practice in the nation and before implementing Workspot, our doctors were losing about 30 or 40 minutes of productivity a day. With Workspot’s solutions, we’re now able to instantly deliver our new EMR apps to exam rooms in more than 25 locations. We’re saving 30 to 60 minutes per day of wasted time and enhancing the patient experience.”
