At a glance
PHP Institute adopted a Virtual PC Center thin client system including thin client notebook terminals to create a location-free office which enables employees to work with access to their office PC environment anytime, anywhere.
While many employees are required to work irregular schedules from many locations, work efficiency has significantly improved–the most current information in the company's database can be accessed directly from meetings at client offices and time away from the office is now used productively for processing emails and other tasks.
Virtual PC Center delivered productivity improvements in addition to the initial objective of enhanced data security. The Virtual PC Center has become an indispensable IT infrastructure for the PHP Institute.
Installation background and issues
- Increased security to protect important data such as manuscripts, shipping addresses, and personal information of seminar participants.
- An IT infrastructure to enable work regardless of time and place and to address the inefficiencies of frequently having to be out of the office and work late hours and weekends.
- Benefits beyond protection against information leakage and data loss to achieve a higher return on investment.
- Smooth implementation of widely varying individual PC environments without disrupting operations.
Installation results
- Inventory inquiries and order entries can be completed remotely while the latest materials can be viewed on-site at customer offices. Real-time information enables immediate responses to customer business needs and has contributed to improved customer satisfaction.
- Manuscripts can be corrected and work can proceed regardless of time or location. Thus, staff no longer need to return to the office after customer visits. Not only has efficiency improved but overtime costs have been reduced.
- IT governance has been enhanced to improve data security while achieving higher work efficiency.
- Administrative workloads have been reduced through consolidation of employees' PC environments. Moreover, thin client system contributed to a smooth office relocation.
NEC proposal
- NEC proposed the Virtual PC Center thin client system which maintains each user's unique applications and environment while simultaneously enhancing data security. Thin client notebook terminals were particularly important for mobile use to improve work efficiency.
- For smooth deployment across the company, NEC kept in close communication with users by providing prompt technical support and planning optimal deployment patterns for each division.
