Organizations today are striving to provide a more flexible environment for their end users, allowing them access to corporate resources from any device, anytime. At the same time, securing corporate information remains a top priority for CIOs. Traditional solutions such as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) offer worker flexibility and security benefits, but they are expensive to purchase, complex to deploy, and they don’t scale well. In this session, you’ll learn how Amazon WorkSpaces combines the benefits of VDI with the economics of the cloud to deliver better value for organizations. We’ll show you just how easy it is to get started, and talk through how customers are using Amazon WorkSpaces today.

14. Customer success story: Endemol Shine Nederland
• Endemol Shine Nederland uses contract video crews in
locations around the world to create their shows
• Preparing for a project took two weeks as the team had to set
up, secure, and ship hardware to a production site
• Endemol Shine Nederland decided to provide contract video
crews with Amazon WorkSpaces to run on their own devices
• The switch saved Endemol Shine Nederland 70% in PC
capex, 30% in PC operations, and reduced preparation time
to two hours.

• Yamaha Motor Company uses virtual desktops to provide
their users greater flexibility

managed cloud desktop as an alternative to their VDI
solution

their new applications without buying any new hardware
