Future Ready Workspace ™

At a time when standardisation is increasingly seen as key to delivering a cost effective, manageable, yet apposite solution for the public sector, Getronics’ ‘Future Ready Workspace™’ solution has been delivering value to clients across a number of industries and has much to offer potential public sector customers at all levels.

The concept of ‘Future Ready Workspace™’ is to provide an industrialised workspace across an organization. This workspace consists of the applications and information that people use and the devices they use them from. The Future Ready Workspace includes a commitment to realizing the potential of the information within an organization by empowering those who use it and a commitment to delivering the most appropriate hardware and software during the length of the contract.

People need workspaces that give them constant and reliable access to relevant information and individuals not just within the organisation, but increasingly across the breadth of the public sector. However, all too often, ad hoc additions and specialised solutions over the years can result in systems that are slow, complex and inefficient. Getronics has developed a lasting solution to this problem: the Future-Ready Workspace™.

Your Workspace, Anywhere

Your Workspace Anywhere takes the Getronics approach of empowering people with the right tools to do the job and delivers them to them regardless of device or location. Your Workspace Anywhere is the pragmatic virtualization of the workspace, controlled centrally and delivered securely via the Internet, intranet or extranet.

Enabling people with access to the tools they need to be truly productive where ever they are, while securing the information and applications on which they depend realizes two great operational benefits for the public sector;

• True mobile working – anytime, anyplace on any device
• Centralised control of the workspace and everything on which it depends

Your Workspace Anywhere also provides benefits to Public Sector organizations looking to reduce total cost of ownership of their ICT infrastructure while at the same time reducing their carbon footprint and gaining budget assurance – confidence in how your ICT costs will change as your organization changes.

UtilityOne

UtilityOne is the Getronics utility server platform, providing on demand access to server resources of many platforms in a shared services environment, dedicated to the UK Public Sector. UtilityOne provides the server side components of Future Ready Workspaces and Your Workspace Anywhere and can be extended to provide utility services both at a hardware and business service level.

The infrastructure is standardised at the level of operating systems and management tooling, increasing the simplicity and possibilities to automate tasks. In combination with a multi datacentre configuration it provides guaranteed continuity.

UtilityOne allows the public sector to realise better value for money through the pragmatic use of hardware and associated licences, rationalising services to better utilise the underlying infrastructure.
