How WorkPlace is enabling IT providers to GROW

There has been allot of discussion surrounding IT and DaaS and so I wanted to write up a new blog post pinpointing the pros and con's of making a service like WorkPlace part of IT companies strategy. Lets face it if you are an IT company your customers are talking about moving to the cloud with or without you. With Virsage WorkPlace you can make that an easy transition and get paid more margins than if you were try and build it out in a traditional manner or stand up your own cloud infrastructure.

Last night I was speaking with a representative from Citrix and she pointed out in a very comprehensive statement that business are demanding ways to bring in tablets and smartphones to their workplace and companies like Virsage are enabling that for the end users while still maintaining security, control, and access for their current IT provider.

IT companies that really want to grow their business in the next decade are going to have to move beyond single-app offerings that only address part of a customer's total IT needs, by delivering WorkPlace, complete with office productivity and line of business apps. With the power of enterprise-class desktop virtualization, IT companies can deliver and end-to-end hosted solution and grow their business on a scalable platform. This allow them to focus on more customers and other opportunities from that customer.

Here are some very compelling reasons for introducing WorkPlace to your current customers.

• Needs to access business apps outside of the office
• Wants to use their tablets and smartphones for work
• Challenged by seasonal employment spikes
• Doesn't have a business continuity plan
• Unable to produce backup files efficiently
