Industry Experts &
Customers Speak Out About Server Centric and Thin Client
"Implementing
Desktop Anywhere’s subscription service not only reduced our IT costs
significantly, but also provided us with the ability to move the staff
within our 3 branches without any problems. It is great not to have to
worry about hardware costs, licensing, virus protection and server
maintenance and it would have cost us a fortune during these extremely busy
months to keep up with our increasing staff and their technology
needs"
— Bahar Tolu,
Operations Manager. GM West / Customer
“Wells Fargo plans to convert
all of its retail banking group to thin clients. Eliminating branch-office
servers, desktop-related software, and system monitoring and remote control
software should cut the total cost of ownership by 75%.“
— By Robert Mitchell and a case study in
Computerworld Magazine
"Desktop
Anywhere services delivers to my staff the technology they need to meet my
business objectives."
— Elaine Barakos,
Vice President of Operations. RBC Mortgage / Customer
"In my view, thin client
was the only possible option for increasing the service levels while
reducing the costs in an organization of our size."
— John Saville, Head of IT Services at
Bristol University
of the West of England
"Our
studies indicate that above all, client/server is a labor intensive activity.
We find that labor constitutes more than 70 percent of total cost of
ownership over five years."
— By Ken Dec, Gartner Group in Red Herring
Magazine
"Companies
with thin-client systems can save money by avoiding PC upgrades, but that's
just part of potential savings, says Dan Kusnetsky, an analyst at IDC in
Framingham, Mass. In a typical computing implementation, "staffing is
50% to 75% of the three-year cost," he says. Such savings can more
than off-set increased costs of servers and software, Kusnetsky says."
