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.
