Within the framework of an extensive project designed to successfully evolve its information system and redefine its process of application publication, the group Picoty, accompanied by computer company Gamac, decided to change its virtualization solution.

I had a chance to speak with them and found out that their existing solution did not meet the requirements of the group anymore.  Picoty said they needed a solution that was less expensive and required less attention to be fully operational.

The extent of the project consisted of centralizing and publishing the management solutions (two of which Divalto, ERP) and various applications such as email.

Picoty told me that they decided to switch to AppliDis which combines both application and desktop virtualization, allowing them to deliver to their users applications in remote, personalized and totally secured mode, on all types of devices (fixed and mobile).

Better yet, the group said they did not have to redesign or replace their environment as AppliDis was easy to integrate and it didn't require touching the existing infrastructure.

Furthermore, AppliDis allowed them to deliver applications in remote mode from any sites, making them available for users, operators and administrative staff through a single web portal.

An added bonus was the addition of the printing module of AppliDis which allowed them to manage the printing more easily across the park composed of heterogeneous material.  More specifically, the module made printing much easier and faster as it reduced the size of printing files transiting through the servers and printers, allowing advanced settings to consider the different client zones and the recovery of those printings after an error.

Last but not least, Picoty and Gamac now benefit from a tailored infrastructure which allows them to develop their "private cloud" project quickly, while controlling the tool.
