Beyond the Virtual Desktop: A Better IT Model for Real Estate Firms

For many real estate firms, virtual desktop environments were designed to make IT more secure and manageable. But they can also introduce slow performance, recurring outages, VPN frustrations, and significant monthly costs that get in the way of how your team works.

There may be a better way.

Join Bennett Thrasher’s technology professionals for a practical discussion on how real estate firms can move beyond traditional virtual desktops and create a more flexible IT environment — without sacrificing security.

What we will cover
During this webinar, we’ll cover how real estate firms can:

Build a more flexible IT environment that supports the way your team works today

Reduce unnecessary IT costs associated with complex virtual desktop environments

Improve employee experience and performance by removing common access and connectivity barriers

Maintain strong data security without requiring employees to work within a traditional VDI

Evaluate whether your current IT model is still the right fit for your organization

See What This Can Look Like in Practice

We’ll also walk through a real-world example of a real estate organization that was struggling with latency, outages, VPN requirements, and a costly managed virtual desktop environment.

After reassessing its technology and security needs, Bennett Thrasher helped the organization transition to a more flexible model that maintained multiple layers of enterprise-level security — while saving the organization more than $4,000 per month.
