IT Company Relies on ThinPrint for Hosted Desktop
Connect’s hosted desktop is like using the same desktop as before, except it is available anywhere, including applications that don’t offer a cloud version. Printing is an important functionality for the user experience. At the same time Connect has many non-standard desktop users with various connection speeds and all sorts of printer set-ups, creating a lot of special requirements for printing.
The Solution:
Most important to Connect were ThinPrint’s performance features like compression, bandwidth control and streaming. Driver Free Printing was also put in place to avoid cumbersome administration of customer’s printers and printer driver incompatibilities.
The Result:
Connect’s promised seamless hosted desktop experience also applies to the print functionality. Connect customers get fast and reliable printing and session performance. Connect was able to cut the administrative work load.
“ThinPrint technology helps us guarantee great user experience also when it comes to printing. We were also able to drastically reduce printer administration. The simple licensing model has allowed us to grow from just a few to many users without administration overhead.“
Mark O’Dell, Chief Executive, Connect
