Retail

Keeping up with the hardware needs of their employees, a high end jewelry retailer had a growing population of Macs and needed a way to manage providing Windows applications. With an anticipated growth rate of 50% more Macs coming each year, they needed a solution that could be deployed quickly, that would not impact employee performance, and that would minimize calls to their help desk.  They chose Parallels Desktop for Mac Enterprise Edition.

Finance

A leading investment firm had Macs becoming a requirement in their business at an alarming rate -- from none to over 1,400 in just a few years. They needed a reliable way to run multiple operating systems simultaneously in order to have the Macs stay compliant and meet the demands of their mobile analysts. They chose Parallels Desktop for Mac Enterprise Edition due to its superior performance.

Government/Healthcare

A leading government organization in Healthcare needed to move computer expenses from OpEx to CapEx, so they implemented a "Bring Your Own Computer" program. They soon found themselves overwhelmed with the number of Macs that employees chose to bring in to the workplace. In order to provide secure access to Windows applications while maintaining their overall compliance program, they selected Parallels Desktop for Mac Enterprise Edition for more than 2,000 employees.

Healthcare

A worldwide leader in healthcare had a growing issue. The doctors working here demand the freedom to use Macs, yet they need access to critical medical applications running on a Windows platform. The IT team was concerned about the user experience and the security necessary to maintain compliancy and patient confidentiality. They chose Parallels Desktop for Mac Enterprise Edition to provide seamless access to these applications from a Mac. The doctors were so pleased with it that they also launched a pilot program with the Parallels Mobile app for iPad and iPhone to test meeting Windows needs on iPads.

Telecommunications

An international telecommunication company recently instituted a "Bring Your Own Computer" (BYOC) program for its employees. This was done because, from a financial perspective, it allowed them to move the cost of hardware from an operational expense to a capital expense. Macs are an employee-favored platform in this program, yet the employees needed access to key Windows applications to do their jobs. The company could not take on the cost and time needed to implement additional infrastructure needed for a VDI-type solutions, so chose Parallels Desktop for Mac Enterprise Edition to allowed their employees to use Macs and work in a safe and secure environment.

Media & Entertainment

An international cable shopping network selling products in categories such as Beauty, Fashion, Home, Food, Sports and Wellness faced a challenge. Their IT department consists of a PC and Mac mixed environment for video production purposes, yet their Mac users also needed access to key Windows applications in order to get their work done in a timely manner. They chose Parallels Desktop for Mac Enterprise Edition because it was easy to deploy without increased overhead infrastructure costs.
