Use Case
Gelre Ziekenhuizen, a leading Dutch hospital group with over 3,000 employees, turned to Recast Software’s Application Workspace to overcome growing challenges in managing its complex IT environment. Working with implementation partner IT-Value, the hospital migrated more than 350 core applications in just two weeks. Application Workspace now enables Gelre’s IT team to link application access to user identities, automate patching, and streamline updates across all endpoints. As a result, application installations that once took up to three days are now completed in under eight hours, while automated patching ensures systems remain secure and up to date. The hospital has also reduced Microsoft licensing costs and freed IT resources to focus on innovation and hybrid cloud optimization. According to Patrick van Leeuwen, Manager ICT at Gelre Ziekenhuizen, “Tasks that took days now take just a few hours. Our workstations are faster and more stable, which significantly enhances job satisfaction for all employees.”
Kaspersky Labs identified software vulnerabilities as the leading cause of breaches in 2021, outpacing phishing for the first time ever. This data means that organizations need to add third-party patching to their cybersecurity position. If you aren’t patching third-party applications, it is important to get started now.
