ODDS OF CUSTOMER SUCCESS

• A flexible computing solution like this takes
  away a lot of the concerns about viruses,
  spyware, or anyone hacking into computers to
  change the images.
• Lee Steinsdoerfer, Technology Director,
  Zion-Benton Township H.S.
• Users appreciate the fact that when we do
  software updates and patches, its simply a
  matter of rebooting the machine. We dont have to
  interrupt their workflow to do remediation.
• Jeff Wolfe, IT Manager, Penn State University
• Were going to be able to provide the IT
  infrastructure more efficiently in our new
  hospital because we can put computers where they
  are needed. Well manage them using On-Demand
  Desktop Streaming from outside restricted areas,
  such as operating rooms.
