Moving 1,200 Employees to About 100 New Citrix Servers
A construction material and lime producing company made a decision to buy new Citrix servers instead of the existing ones.
Amount of Citrix servers: 100
Amount of Employees that are using servers: 1,200
The Process of Moving Involves
– Engaging contractor employees;
– Buying new Citrix servers;
– Buying service for new Citrix servers;
– Moving software (licensed and free) to new servers.
Financial Side
Financially this decision involves many different expenses:
– Buying new Citrix servers;
– Buying service for new Citrix servers;
– Buying licenses for licensed software;
– Paying contractors for performing the task;
– Loses due to downtime periods.
Financially this task is quite a responsibility and also it is quite challenging workwise. In other words, it is a big task for the company, as one physical Citrix server costs about $20,000, plus other expenses, also this process might cause a significant downtime to 1,200 employees. And if it was decided to proceed with this upgrade, it should be done as optimal as possible.
Software: What to Install on New Citrix Servers?
In order not to overload new servers with unnecessary software and not to buy/extend unnecessary software licenses (to save on software licenses) the company decided to find out what software is not used or is rarely used by the employees.
Task to Solve
Here is a task the company’s got to answer: Find-out what software is really used, used rarely or not used at all.
Money Saving Solution
Computer monitoring software can help to solve the above task. WorkTime® Corporate monitors software usage. The cost of 1,200 WorkTime licenses is a very small portion of the whole process, so the company found it beneficial to use WorkTime.
The Use
WorkTime was installed in advance and worked for a while collecting all the required information. Also, because software usage monitoring is not the only function that WorkTime offers (the main purpose of WorkTime is Employee Productivity Monitoring, Computer Use Monitoring), the company continued using WorkTime after moving to new Citrix servers to see how exactly employees use those servers at their working time hours.
