In the existing infra, application integration and scaling of users attracted high cost and led to business disruption. With high cost of integration, the Customer wanted to engage with an EUC implementation partner that could deliver high end-user experience.
The existing on-premises infrastructure across offices operated in silos leading to multiple challenges,
