Embrace IT users to empower your Business ! Putting COMOS to real Work !

A Misunderstanding !This session is not about a HDX platform !

But about bringing COMOS USERS to the speed of light !

QUESTIONS !!

WHO?

• of you are using COMOS ?

• is using other Engineering Apps ?

• has multiple Vaults for any products ?

• replicates large amount of data to remote site ?

• operates a global deployment of Engieering apps


”We love to accelerate & comfortIT User Experiences

beyond recognition”From any device


Don´t do this at home !!

DISCLAIMER!!!


Its like trying to :

• Build This:

• Ending up with this :

• And this:


Lean-On – at glance! • Specialist in High End Desktops Usage

• Leading CITRIX partner on High End Remote Engineering Desktops

• COMOS Partner & CLOUD operator

• Supporting customers in EMEA

• 31+ other Engineering App vendors supported

• 9 optimized MS server whitepapers

– MS SQL, Exchange, F&P, Sharepoint etc.

• Development partner on most products

• We enable central deployment of all High End Engineering applications


What have we learned over the years ?

– Power users are often not happy for the IT services delivered from Central IT ressources

– IT Departments are having troubles comprehending the capacity and requirements of Engineering apps

– Centralized solutions are to weak in terms of performance due to insuffiicient Infrastructure desgin

– USERS becomes unable to deliver the required productivity to fullfillManagement´s expectations

– No centralized IT solutions has been able to replace workstations and powerfull laptops.

– IT cannot match the required pace for updates and more in order for the users to obtain required agility

– Enterprises has severe issues in including users on a global scale

– Developers do not think of daily production

– Developers do not know YOUR infrastructure the users for increasedability , agility and productivity

– Bottlenecks moves on to the next layer

– Repositories (vaults) are scattered and inconsistent.


By listening to our customers – weaccidently … dicovered the:

The game changer

Not a big surprise– eeyh ?

The Lean-On Application Accelerator Platform ™Now that´s what professional IT-users dreams are made of.

But how did it all begin ??


It was a long time ago !

The summer of 2012

It was a hot summer day !The IPHONE IOS 5 was ringing ! The ringtone was ”Scary Scary night” !

IT WAS BABCOCK WILCOX VØLUND ! And they had an issue !


The situation

Jørgen Pedersen, European IT Manager looks back: “For me as an IT manager, it is a critical situation in relation to the business operation when the users end up in a non-productive situation, and my IT staff is left with the feeling that the COMOS users are not satisfied with the user experience and performance, no matter which actions they take. At this point in time, we had purchased COMOS licenses in the excess of DKK 1 Million and had consumed 200+ hours in the IT department, as well as a significant amount for external consultancy services. The situation became very critical for Vølund.”


MISSION IMPOSSIBLE:

GET SIEMENS COMOS TO WORK AND SCALE

- NOW !


So - HOW to deploy and manageCOMOS ?

…In a centralized IT environment…With centralized datasets…With Remote access from around the globe …With full rich Graphics 3D support…With no hassle of maintaining the images & patches…With an easy path to update application suites …With the ability to grow unlimited…How to facilitate transitions & Transformations of COMOS…with the abiity to integrate ad hoc workforces when needed…With the enablement to reduce cycles on running projects… and more more more


The POC - The existing legacy workstations was confiscated !

- Could not run COMOS locally- Old Dogs !- Putting in new Graphics- All the memory that could be found- Changed everything – took out the rest

Then we added some

And some

Some 1100 registry keys

And finally CITRIX XenApp 6.5 HDX 3D

Goal was to operate < 10 users in the POC


Lets just stop for a second…

A heavy hefty application - legacy workstation –not doable with a single user.

Instead of one –one now adding 4-5 users pr. host - same hardware

Changed a single W7 Desktop to a 2008 R2 Server (overhead)

Added an huge amount of CITRIX code to the solution – more overhead….

The message was clear … nobody believed in our mission ! Nobody !

WE DID NOT HAVE MAY BELIEVERS NOR FOLLOWERS….

The message was also : NO CURE NO PAY !!


The result….. We obtained balance !

“From the day the users could access the new platform, we saw an entire new momentum.

We obtained positive feedback and responses from everybody in the organization, right from local users, to branch office and home users.

Agility in business operations had returned, and full support of the business operation had been achieved. We had set a new bar for the delivery of optimal productivity. For the IT department, it meant one central point for global delivery of COMOS as a service."

Jørgen Pedersen, European Manager, IT -Babcock & Wilcox Vølund A/S

The POC exploded from < 10 users to 40+ users on 4 workstations

Still in production - the POC


Vølund today !


What´s in it For the user:

Reduces wait time for the user > 90%Increases transfer speed 10-30xReduces latency for the user with more than 90 %

Changes are made in a fraction of time

Focus is moved away from the Machine roomto the Users needs.

Increases the ability to produce with a least ??? %

For the Business Convert your IT staff to Business enablers

USER reaction is simple – they all want it !
