Operational Impact
Gard discovered that it was easy to learn how to implement and configure AppSense software, and time spent on administrating users and the server farm was quickly slashed. AppSense Environment Manager’s point and click functionality is highlighted by Folgerø as a key benefit. Getting an easier working experience and a reduction in overtime is another proof-point. | |
“We don’t want to lock down the users ability to maintain their personal settings. AppSense replaces roaming profiles and ensures all individual user settings are intact, without the IT-department having to reconfigure settings constantly. This enables us to provide our users the best tools and user experience possible” said Folgerø. | |
Deployment of AppSense Performance Manager in the server farm was the next step in line for the global naval insurer. AppSense Performance Manager optimizes how applications use system resources so that users do not have to wait for business critical applications to execute and respond to their actions. Application and user environments are dynamically optimized to ensure maximum hardware utilization with an optimal, consistent quality of service. Gard’s document management system was a particularly troublesome application for Folgerø. AppSense Performance Manager alleviated this problem, not only improving the daily experience for users accessing this application, but manage resource use better and enabling more users to be serviced on a machine. | |
