Liquidware, the leader in adaptive workspace management, today announced that 2018 was a record year and, to continue the momentum, has invested in hiring new technical resources in the UK, Benelux and the Nordics.

Coupled with the growth and investment, Liquidware reported unparalleled uptake for its Essentials bundle of user environment management, application layering and visibility solutions as the market consolidated with other point solution vendors being acquired. With the absorption of AppSense and RES into Ivanti and FSlogix being acquired by Microsoft, former partners of these companies are now actively signing up with Liquidware.

"We witnessed unprecedented demand for our solutions during 2018," commented Morteza Esteki, VP Sales EMEA. "In particular, we secured the largest application layering deal to date in EMEA for our FlexApp software, signed with some of the largest systems integrators in the region, hired some first-class technical industry talent from companies such as Softcat and Ivanti and saw our penetration increase dramatically into verticals such as Financial Services, Government and Health Care. Our world-class solutions continue to be recognised by industry experts and analysts as leading the field in managing user workspaces."

Stratusphere UX monitoring, diagnostics and visibility software, is becoming the defacto solution for many channel partners and systems integrators across Europe for monitoring user experience in their large customer bases. Stratusphere UX has proven itself as the indispensable solution during all stages: pre-migration, migration and as on-going management solution. Many channel partners use Stratusphere UX for assessment and health-checks.

ProfileUnity user environment software is being built into customers' new workspaces design to better manage their users as they bid farewell to their legacy UEM solutions. Thanks to its unique multi-tenancy capabilities, ProfileUnity is a great solution for managing workspaces in a multi-tenant environment. Version 6.8 is bringing many capabilities to the table that greatly assist the life of an IT admin.

In addition, Liquidware reported a 95% renewal rate for all customers in the region, which is a testament to the level of customer satisfaction for Liquidware's offerings.

"Managing the devices, applications, services and data that users rely on everyday has been a challenge for IT administrators since desktop computing became a reality. But with business ever more dependent on IT systems working effectively and the added pressure to ensure data security, workspace management has become a critical issue. When you add in the expanding range of devices now being used, ease of management and visibility of systems is now an essential, not a ‘nice to have'," said Tony Lock, Distinguished Analyst, Freeform Dynamics.
