Use Case
One of the world’s largest banks modernized application delivery without ripping out ConfigMgr, Intune, or VDI. With Application Workspace as a lightweight overlay, they unified every app and launch path in a single catalog and delivered installs in minutes via an agent, not slow cloud sync. Smart Icons routed users to the right local, web, or virtual experience automatically. Packaging shifted from wrappers to a visual workflow; a curated Setup Store kept apps evergreen while preserving enterprise customizations. DTAP rings and approvals provided control at scale. After Autopilot, users restored their persona and core apps in ~30 minutes, keeping work moving. The team adopted an agent-only image—test once, promote everywhere across laptops and Cloud PCs, returning time to engineering and cutting tickets.
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.
