Centralis approach to virtualisation rated “Ideal” by technology audit

~ Butler Group recommends leading independent consultants ~

UK - October 02, 2008

Butler Group has praised Centralis in a recent technology audit on application and desktop virtualisation.

Specialising in this area, Centralis works with some of the leading public and private sector bodies across the UK including Standard Life, Centrica and the Royal Marsden Hospital.

Recognising the benefits brought to an organisation by both desktop and application virtualisation, the audit praises both the best-practice methodology used by Centralis and the strong, long term partnerships the company has with market leaders Citrix, Microsoft and VMware.

In such a dynamic market, Butler Group states that it can often be beneficial to work with a specialist implementation provider – helping organisations to gain greater clarity in understanding the cost of desktop operations.

It goes on to discuss the methodology and key phases of a large scale technology rollout as employed by Centralis and how this can help to avoid potential pitfalls and ensure a successful completion, providing ROI in between 12 and 24 months.

“As a group, we are impressed with Centralis’ modular implementation approach; best practices-based methodology; training, testing and management solution development; and managed services and we would recommend the service suite to companies aiming to reduce the TCO and enhance the agility of desktop management operations”, said Rob Hailstone at Butler Group.

“The results of this audit are hugely welcomed by myself and the team at Centralis”, said Ewen Anderson, managing director. “We make a big investment in emerging technologies, establishing a reputation for independence and expertise through over twelve years of partnership with key vendors and customers across the private and public sectors. It is very gratifying to see this recognised by a highly respectable body such as Butler Group.”
