Agglomeration Community of Pays Voironnais

Pays Voironnais is an autonomous services and working area, consisting of 34 districts, with a population of 85,000. Its main fields of intervention are economic and district development, environment, equality of opportunity and territorial solidarity.

In order for Pays Voironnais to meet all the inhabitants’ needs, they must juggle about 70-80 specific business applications. They deployed a Citrix solution in order to centralize their IT system. However, it became increasingly difficult to manage. They often had one or two employees working fulltime on maintenance issues. In order to manage the central applications better, Pays Voironnais decided to implement RES Workspace Manager. 

This new way of managing the applications portfolio had immediate effect on the time spent on maintenance or solving technical issues. Today, this takes only 10% of an IT employee’s time because it is more supervision than management. For the time being, the Agglomeration community of Pays Voironnais has only applied RES Workspace Manager to Citrix hosted applications distributed via the remote desktop. But the IT Systems Manager has already made plans to do the same for the fat clients, taking full advantage of this simplified management using a client/server architecture. Eventually, he wants to apply this solution to the laptops, to ensure remote management of mobile devices.
