Alvecon chooses Ceedo technology to virtualize the insurance brokerage business

Munich (ots) - Alvecon runs insurance broker applications using
Ceedo desktop virtualization and Mobility Office. Alvecon is one of
the leading insurance broker companies in Germany with offices in
every major German city. Alvecon GmbH & Co. selected and deployed
Ceedo and Mobility Office as a standard system for its brokers.
Using it, brokers get all of their professional and office
applications on a USB device, achieving significant savings for
Alvecon in deployment and management of applications and allowing
enhanced productivity to its brokers.

Historically, Alvecon distributed professional applications to
brokers on CDs from the insurers. This was difficult to manage and
caused uptime problems. Additionally, due to incompatibility of some
insurer applications, collisions between applications on the PCs
caused huge support problems

The Ceedo solution dramatically improved the process by offering a
virtual mobile work environment on USB drives with a build-in
deployment system. The initial workspace of applications was created
by Mobility Office on encrypted USB drives. The USB drives were
deployed to insurance brokers in the field which were able to plug
them into their PCs and instantly start using the applications. Using
the Ceedo management system Mobility Office is able to support the
systems in the field by remotely and automatically installing new
applications to the USB drives as well as perform incremental updates
to the installed applications and the client environment.

"The Ceedo and Mobility Office solution was chosen to dramatically
shorten the deployment time and enhance our partner recruitment and
our support cycles." said Mr. Joachim Kolodzie, authorized
representative and project manager at Alvecon in Frankfurt. "The use
of the Ceedo virtualization engine provided a unique portable plug
and play solution for our insurer's applications. It allowed running
them on multiple operating systems, and gave us the ability to
quickly deploy applications. A nice additional benefit is recovery -
in the past if a laptop malfunctioned, reinstalling the work
environment took days. With the Ceedo solution, recovery is as simple
and fast as plugging the USB drive into a new PC."

The deployed work environments include more than 50 software
systems of the premium partners of Alvecon installed on the new
Alvecon Business Center. It also contains the in-house analytical and
advisory tool eVa as well as standard office applications. A
particular benefit was to include the proposal software systems of
insurers and product partners. "We wanted to ensure that our brokers
are no longer bound by installation and updating of insurance
proposal software. Therefore it was necessary to include the software
in the distribution system from Mobility-Office and Ceedo. This was a
great success. The sole savings just from the update process of the
applications installed on the Alvecon Business Center is hours per
month for every end user, "said Mr. Kolodzie.

Another key advantage is in the rollout process. In the past, the
brokers had to do the initial installation of the applications on
their own or for each of their PCs by the IT department of Alvecon.
Mr. Jürgen Keller director of IT, "Now we give the brokers a USB
Drive, all programs, Internet browser, portal access, e mail, etc.
all preinstalled, preconfigured and ready to run. The broker only has
to plug the drive into his PC. Moreover, an added advantage of the
virtual environment was that the incompatibilities between the
various applications no longer occur."
