FAQ
Would you please give us a brief overview of what you do for your clients?
At Simplified Innovations, we provide a secure and remote desktop designed for CPA’s. We manage access, security, backups and application updates. To improve the delivery of the hosted desktop, and reduce management costs and server image drifting, we leverage Citrix Provisioning Server or PVS.
What has been your biggest challenge in managing these server images?
Each client has a specific set of applications, specific to their firm specialty. Because we are CAP focused, application updates can affect more than one client. So when application X needed an update, we needed a way to identify which server images (vDisks) to update.
How has GlobiFlow for Podio helped you overcome these challenges?
Delivering timely application updates in the CPA industry is critical. Often updates impact tax calculation, payroll deductions and more. Using GlobiFlow for Podio allows us to automatically identify the vDisks that require updates and complete them in the next maintenance window or sooner. Integrating GlobiFlow for Podio with our existing Podio workspaces has revolutionized what can be accomplished. I personally see it as an essential add on to any Podio deployment.
