We needed to find a way to separate business and personal information on mobile devices so that we could safely remove certain software without wiping the device. The Citrix solution effectively solved each of our pain points, letting Griffith Hack provide a better user experience and be more efficient, which results in improved client service.
Without the Citrix solution and the help from Thomas Duryea Consulting, the firm simply couldn’t work the way we do now. Citrix truly connects our workforce with our IT systems and our clients, irrespective of their location or device and it does so professionally, efficiently and securely.

One of the most important factors in the way Thomas Duryea Consulting worked was that they facilitated extensive consultation and engagement with senior management, which had not really happened before. By getting their buy-in and endorsement of the plan, we could be more confident of success. It also gave the management team more faith that the IT team is spending its budget wisely and in the most effective way, which in turn makes it easier to get funding approved for specific projects.

Some providers have short-term or project-oriented views, but Thomas Duryea understand and want to help us achieve our long-term objectives. With Thomas Duryea, we know we’re getting someone who’s been there, done that, they have a depth of experience and bring the benefits of lessons learned.

The Thomas Duryea solution has given us complete control over our workstation environment. One obvious benefit is the time and overhead savings that stem from automated deployment. Our strategy is to progressively migrate our XP systems to Windows 7, and the solution is allowing us to do this seamlessly, with more than 200 machines upgraded so far.
The solution is flexible enough to allow us to pursue upgrades as required. We wanted a toolset that would allow us to manage everything from operating system installation to application installs and with Systems Center Configuration Manager we’ve achieved that.
This project has achieved all our stated objectives. We’ve made our desktop management more efficient, delivered standardised desktop images and simplified our application deployment and support processes.
