Virginia Modernizes with
Device-as-a-Service
Challenge
At the onset, as well as during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commonwealth of Virginia experienced a 10-fold increase in demand for remote work support. The pandemic caused serious disruption to the workforce of Virginia and outside assistance was necessary to ensure continuity of business operations.
Solution
Iron Bow quickly mobilized and partnered with the Virginia Information Technology Agency (VITA) to rapidly develop a solution that could support the business-critical areas of the state. While the Iron Bow team continued to support all deployed end-user devices throughout the state's workforce, they also quickly designed, tested, and deployed a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) as an alternative solution.
Outcome
This solution ensured resources that lacked remote access to certain applications could reliably and securely access those applications in support of their work efforts. This solution has continued to remain in place today, as both a primary and secondary solution for the remote workforce to rely on.
State Overcomes Tech Debt Through HWaaS to Empower Educational Institutions
Challenge
This state entity is a leading provider of technology solutions for educational institutions, and had been struggling with mounting tech debt. As their infrastructure aged, maintenance costs soared, and the burden of managing outdated equipment grew heavier. Recognizing the need for a transformative solution, the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and Chief Operating Officer (COO) sought ways to alleviate this challenge and propel their organization into the future.
Solution
Upon reaching out to Iron Bow, this state explored the possibility of transitioning to a Hardware as a Service (HWaaS) model. This innovative approach offered a solution to their tech debt challenges by providing access to cutting-edge hardware without the burden of upfront capital expenditure. In collaboration with Iron Bow, the state initiated discussions with Cisco to implement HWaaS, allowing them to modernize their infrastructure while maintaining financial flexibility.
Outcome
With simplified technology management, enhanced financial flexibility, and access to cutting-edge hardware solutions, the state is well-positioned to continue its mission of empowering educational institutions.
