Desktop virtualization is becoming a key issue for companies looking for more efficiency in an increasingly mobile environment. It provides users with "virtualized" network access to their desktop from any device (PC, tablet, smartphone).An internet connection is all that is needed for them to access their resources and work wherever they may be. By extending the cloud to all information system components, it offers companies agility, security, cost savings and the ability to meet new end-user expectations.

This acquisition allows Orange Business Services to strengthen its team with 135 experts and to extend its desktop virtualization activities in Europe to meet high market demand in target countries and from its multinational customers outside France.     

"Desktop virtualization is a key component of business transformation. It delivers agility, productivity and performance by fundamentally changing the day-to-day life of company employees. It was essential for us to strengthen our teams and our integration capabilities in this field. We are now able to meet the growing demands of our European multinational customers," states Thierry Bonhomme, CEO of Orange Business Services.
