‘Software-defined this’ and ‘software-defined that’ is all the rage right now, as companies explore new ways to increase efficiency and flexibility into their environments. One ‘software-defined’ term that has yet to make the rounds in the Sri Lankan market is ‘software-defined workspace’ that refers to the growth to ‘bringing your own device’ policies to the workplace, which is the way of working predicted for the future.
As IT is rapidly moving through the web, cloud and mobile eras, people, apps and info have become increasingly more mobile. The software-defined workplace takes the idea of best-of- breed to a new level by enabling businesses to leverage app and desktop virtualisation, mobility management, networking and cloud services solutions to mobilise their business and people. With the trend toward ‘software-defined everything’ the business challenges of the future would be globalisation, remote workforce in a variety of locations, security and compliance, process transformation and facility re-invention. DMS Electronics and their trusted advisor Citirx recently held a forum and discussion on this theme for some of the leading companies in Sri Lanka. This is the first stage of their deployment in Sri Lanka in launching its solutions for empowering people to work better and accelerate the path to a mobility-transformed business.
Uniquely positioned to help companies take advantage of the emerging software-defined everything trend, DMS Electronics with their trusted advisor Citrix will help reinvent how people work, enabling them to seamlessly communicate and collaborate across any device or location, and gain borderless access to relevant data through contextual security. As a result, meetings, communications, apps, support, desktops, networks and servers will become strategic virtual tools for business mobility regardless of the type of cloud or infrastructure from which they originate. It will transform traditional physical places and resources into an all-digital virtualised workspace that delivers consumer-like experiences to all users that will inspire delight.
These solutions will be intelligently integrated, fully secured and always available. DMS Electronics Director Chandana Weerasinghe stated, “We will enable organisations in Sri Lanka to increase productivity by delivering an anytime, anywhere experience. We feel this is the right time to push this solution to Sri Lanka and we hope to work with many industries such as manufacturing, telecommunications and Government organisations and empower them with new ways to work better. We intend to be the initiator and the leading solution provider of ‘Software-Defined Workspaces’ in the country.
