AppSense and Centrix Software have announced a strategic partnership to provide organizations with a comprehensive user-centric transformation program.  This partnership will allow organizations to simplify and accelerate the adoption of new technologies and platforms including Windows 7, desktop and application virtualization, cloud computing and BYOD initiatives.

Through a user-centric approach, AppSense and Centrix eliminate many user-related project barriers that burden traditional desktop transformation projects. IT managers are assured of delivering projects faster, with less risk, while delivering a consistent end-user experience across all platforms.

Together, AppSense and Centrix will provide organizations with the tools to:

  • Analyze: Centrix Software gives IT deep, accurate insight into the relationship between users, usage, applications, content and devices, an essential starting point for any transformation, while ongoing analysis provides opportunity for additional optimization;
  • Plan: By providing detailed analytics, Centrix Software enables IT to prioritize and plan based on usage information. When IT has the insight into different user work styles, technical attributes and interdependencies, it leads to fast adoption of the new service and better planning for future needs;
  • Manage: AppSense allows IT to manage the user, independent of the environment, across all computing platforms and delivery mechanisms. IT is able to manage productivity and user experience at the device level; and,
  • Deliver: AppSense user virtualization enables IT to deliver the user to any desktop, device or location, allowing for flexibility, freedom of choice and the reduction of IT barriers.

"With the rapidly evolving use of cloud and personal devices, the focus must now shift to providing user-centric services as to distance ourselves from technologies dependent on a specific infrastructure," said David Roussain, Vice President of Business Development at AppSense. "The only way for IT to maintain control and facilitate the access to IT services while reducing workload and budget requirements is to manage the user once, across all desktops. We see our partnership with Centrix Software as a vital step in educating organizations of the importance of a user-centric computing model to their future desktop success."
