cetus solutions scoop two salford business awards
In their second year, the Salford Business Awards aim to celebrate the successes of the City’s businesses and give them the recognition they deserve.
At this year’s ceremony Cetus Solutions were finalists in 4 out of the 8 categories of awards and on the night won the Entrepreneur Award and also walked away with the runner up award for Business of the Year.
Mike English, Managing Director of Cetus said: ‘It gave me great honour to receive these awards as acknowledgement of the fantastic team we have here at Cetus. Every ship needs a captain but it’s the loyalty and commitment of the team that has taken us to where we are today. I am delighted to be able to deliver the recognition we have achieved back to the team at Cetus’.
‘We will continue to realise our vision to deliver quality and knowledge to our customers and focus our experience and innovation in providing proven solutions to assist them in overcoming their business and IT challenges.’
centrix workspace 4.0:
Cetus Solutions add Centrix WorkSpace to their solution set; WorkSpace 4.0 was announced on the 16th June at the Citrix iForum event in Edinburgh:
Centrix WorkSpace is a universal publisher and aggregator of virtual & local applications, and web services delivered through a rich thin browser-based environment. WorkSpace accelerates user adoption of IT Services, consolidating complex and fragmented delivery mechanisms into a searchable application store and customizable, yet simple, workspace environment.
Centrix WorkSpace improves the user experience and lowers cost, whilst empowering greater business control and visibility.
Mike English, Managing Director at application delivery specialists Cetus Solutions, said, "One of the biggest challenges in application delivery projects is ensuring a good experience for the user, particularly given the large numbers of applications being used within enterprise environments. Centrix WorkSpace is an interesting product concept, providing the user with a consistent, easy to use platform for accessing applications and services with the same look and feel across all of them. I see a big opportunity for solutions such as Centrix WorkSpace in the emerging desktop virtualisation market by making it simpler to deliver services to users."
Being able to monitor application use is also an important factor when it comes to planning application strategy and budgeting. Most companies don’t actually understand, or have an accurate measurement of how their applications are used and what users have access to, which often leads to over-licensing and additional costs. Centrix WorkSpace will aid us in how we deliver a consistent, intuitive experience to the user, while the metering functionality also offers greater insight for our customers into their application lifecycles. In the longer term, chargeback visibility can allow organisations to manage their application licensing much more accurately and help to reduce their costs.
