Customer

a.s.r., one of the largest insurers in the Netherlands with more than 6.5 million customers, decided to modernize its digital workspace. Following its merger with Aegon Netherlands in 2023, the organization experienced significant growth, increasing the need for a flexible and scalable workspace.

Results

With Orange Business as its workplace transformation partner and Application Workspace from Recast Software as the foundation, employees now have access to the right applications anytime and anywhere through a virtual workspace. Over time, this solution will be rolled out to all employees, aligned with the organization’s new ambitions and needs.
Application Workspace provided the flexibility we were looking for: the platform offers both reliable software distribution and support for legacy applications—without sacrificing efficiency.

This ensures a stable work environment without disruptions.

Results and Benefits

The implementation of Application Workspace brought standardization and automation to application management—essential for an organization of this scale.
