Why Evolve IP for Workspaces?
Purpose-Built for Your Users & Your Business
We’re willing to bet that having tricked-out PCs for all of your employees is overkill. In fact, with so many applications moving to the cloud, simply having a full Windows or Mac OS for each associate probably isn’t necessary! Some businesses have attempted to tackle the issue with VDI or DaaS solutions but the reality is that these scenarios are still costly and demand significant levels of IT management.
There’s a better way … Evolve IP Workspaces.
Evolve IP Workspaces deliver just the applications your users need on the devices that make the most sense for the business. For example, you can define that certain users only need SaaS applications like Office 365 or Salesforce.com and provide them on a simple Chromebook or via BYOD. Others may require SaaS and legacy applications such as QuickBooks, while power users may still require a fully powered Windows OS on a laptop or PC.
Delivering Workspaces in this way dramatically reduces costs, and with our self-service tools and management portal, you’ll make your IT team more efficient than ever. Provide a tailored Workspace solution from Evolve IP and make work better for your employees and IT.
One Password. One Portal.
Evolve IP Workspaces are delivered from the Clearlogin™ Identity and Access Management platform. This approach unifies access to all of the applications used in the business under a single identity and password and is controlled by IT.
Users only need to remember one password to access their various SaaS applications, hosted applications, and cloud desktops. IT can rest easy knowing that they can apply appropriate password strength and lockout rules across various applications, while users remain connected with self-service password management.
The Evolve IP OneCloud™
Workspaces support secure access into a broad spectrum of Evolve IP products including our Collaboration and Contact Center products. Simply put, no Cloud provider is delivering a unified experience for users and administrators that can match Evolve IP’s OneCloud. Imagine delivering Collaboration, Communications, Contact Center, Applications and Desktops from a single cloud, behind a single password, with security and analytics.
