AppSense To Acquire Mobile IT Company RAPsphere

Tue, 08 May 2012 09:40:00 EDT

User Virtualisation Solutions Transform Organisations into Productive Mobile Workforces Securely Governed by IT

London - May 8, 2012 - AppSense, the people-centric computing company, today announced the intent to acquire RAPsphere, a mobile IT company developing mobile information management solutions enabling CIOs to contend with BYOD in the enterprise and the critical need to protect corporate applications and data on mobile devices. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close within the quarter. This will be the first acquisition made by AppSense and will expand the application of user virtualisation across the mobile enterprise. The move will advance efforts to further establish greater controls and IT management of enterprise users who, whether enterprise IT consents or is even aware, are choosing how and where they want to work. RAPsphere delivers on the AppSense vision to enable Enterprise Consumerisation through people-centric computing.

"Today, CIO's are seeking a simplified management of corporate data and applications regardless of which mobile end points or desktops users choose," said Sachin Kundra, CIO of Chevron Federal Credit Union. "We have been independently working with both AppSense and RAPsphere to better understand people-centric computing and accelerate BYOD initiatives. Ultimately, our goal is to empower our employees with the freedom to choose when and where they work, and on their device of choice while always maintaining the highest standards of security and compliance. The integration of these two companies will significantly accelerate and bring us that much closer to achieving that objective."

"We understand the needs of enterprise organisations dealing with disruptive mobile technologies driving BYOD and the need for greater governance of users," said Darron Antill, CEO of AppSense. "There is a critical need to protect corporate applications and data on employee-owned devices. Our business is based on helping our customers build productive enterprise environments. RAPsphere will be an important and strategic acquisition that enables us to advance our user virtualisation solutions. We are excited to welcome this team of mobile IT experts into the AppSense family."

RAPsphere, a Redwood City, CA based start-up, was co-founded by Ravi Khatod, Ajay Arora and Prakash Linga. Upon the closing of the transaction, all employees will join the company and continue the development of cutting edge mobile technology that will be part of the AppSense user virtualisation portfolio. Mobile IT is an area of development that is inherent to the needs of organisations addressing the impact of enterprise consumerisation.

"This is an exciting day for the RAPsphere team, who have worked hard to develop our mobile IT solutions in a fast paced market," said Ravi Khatod, CEO of RAPSphere. "Our vision for supporting productive mobile enterprises aligns perfectly with the proven AppSense user virtualisation approach. We look forward to evolving the AppSense story and helping IT organisations transition from fearing BYOD to embracing it as a force-multiplier for mobile workforces."

"Mobile IT is a market shift for enterprise environments trying to manage data and applications," said Harry Labana, CTO and VP Product Management at AppSense. "AppSense understands that IT managers face greater complexities than ever before while at the same time users have much more freedom to adopt preferred ways of working. We are lucky to have the opportunity to collaborate and build together the next generation of mobile user virtualisation solutions with the RAPsphere team."

AppSense Labs™ to focus on consumerisation and cloud services with first Labs product, DataLocker™

London - February 22, 2012 - AppSense, the leading provider of user virtualisation technology, today announced AppSense Labs™. AppSense Labs is the research arm of the AppSense global research and development group focused on creating new technologies that push the boundaries of user-centric computing. The AppSense Labs team consists of technology and market innovators based within the company, with pedigrees from leading companies such as Microsoft and Nokia, whose sole focus is to research technologies that include cloud, mobile and data, and to build prototype products that bring a consumer experience to IT.

"Some of the world's largest and most influential companies place AppSense products at the centre of their mission-critical IT infrastructure, and we will continue to evolve our enterprise products with the same focus and rigor we are known for," said Keith Turnbull, AppSense vice president of research and development. "At the same time, it is essential that we aggressively push the boundaries between professional and personal computing. AppSense Labs is the perfect vehicle for this."

In a world where the consumer experience is fast becoming a major requirement of corporate IT, a key focus for AppSense Labs is helping people harness emerging cloud, tablet, and mobile technologies, alongside traditional PCs and enterprise IT infrastructure. While these innovations may find their way into future IT-focused AppSense products, AppSense Labs will also freely experiment in new technology areas and make useful innovations available directly to technology enthusiasts. The Labs team also works closely with the AppSense Office of the CTO, headed by Harry Labana, to help define the technology strategy for the business.

Today, AppSense Labs released the first of its innovative products, DataLocker™. The explosive growth of personal cloud services like Dropbox sends a clear message that computer, tablet, and smartphone users greatly value synchronized data access across all of their devices. However, many users struggle with the trade-offs between convenience and concern over the security of personal data stored in the cloud. DataLocker eliminates this concern by enabling users to easily encrypt sensitive information in their Dropbox account without sacrificing the convenience of anywhere access.

The DataLocker suite, available today via a free download, includes native clients for Windows, Mac, iPhone and iPad. The Windows and Mac DataLocker applications can be downloaded at www.appsense.com/labs. A universal DataLocker iOS application for the iPhone and iPad can be downloaded from the Apple App Store http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/datalocker/id496206143?mt=8.

"AppSense is well-known for providing a seamless experience across diverse technologies. DataLocker elevates our game into important new technology and user areas," said Turnbull. "It's exciting. DataLocker is the first step in managing the user experience across cloud-based data and emerging personal computing devices. It's definitely time to watch this space."

Fujitsu Wins Desktop and Thin Client Outsource Deal

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 11:12:00 EST

Contract signed with the Department for Work and Pensions for c.140,000 desktop devices

London, 15 February 2010 - Fujitsu has today signed the contract with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to manage and transform desktop computing for all of its staff in locations across the UK. This six year contract involving c.140,000 desktop devices, is the single biggest desktop and thin client outsource deal in the UK and is expected to significantly reduce the Department's total cost of ownership of its desktop estate.

The significant savings will come from the innovative approach Fujitsu has taken to managing the Department's desktop environment. Primarily this will come from adopting more efficient and flexible thin client solutions to meet the Department's needs. This will enable the Department to realise significant savings in desk-side support and hardware costs, to benefit from higher availability and productivity, as well as reduced electricity consumption which will bring the Department's carbon footprint down significantly. The energy savings alone from the thin client model are expected to be many tens of millions of pounds.

Joe Harley, DWP IT director general & chief information officer said: "This is the first in a series of competitions to replace our existing IT and telephony services contracts by 2015 and it sets the tone by delivering significant benefits for the Department and as a framework for Government wide IT. As well as delivering significant savings it will further transform DWP's desktop estate with the proposed use of 'thin client' desktop technology. This provides a number of benefits, including little or no maintenance required to the kit and reductions in power consumption which supports our sustainability agenda."

Commenting on the contract, Eithne Wallis CB, managing director UK Government Division, Fujitsu UK and Ireland says: "As the Government moves forward with its Common IT Platform agenda, change will be driven by innovative approaches to business critical, but everyday, IT such as the desktop platforms in use across the wider public sector. The decision to award this contract to Fujitsu reflects our proven experience in working with government over the last 40 years. We currently manage desktop estates for a number of key government Departments and lead the shared services work with the Cabinet Office and others as part of the Flex framework. This coupled with the decision last year to integrate the IT hardware supplier Fujitsu Siemens Computers into the company, means we have established ourselves as the major force in desktop provision in the UK.

Eithne Wallis continued: "Being awarded the contract to do the same for one of the largest government Departments, goes to show the confidence customers have in our ability. It will be hugely rewarding to work with DWP on such a landmark project that will not only deliver significant financial savings to the customer, but also a better end-user experience for all of its staff."

Key facts:
- The desktop estate for DWP is c.140,000 devices across more than 1,000 locations in the UK
- Following a phased transition, Fujitsu will assume responsibility for the service on 1st September 2010
- Fujitsu's team includes EMC, Citrix, Microsoft and Appsense amongst others in delivering its solution
- Fujitsu was downselected from the initial 16 bidders to preferred supplier in January 2010
- Significantly improved total cost of ownership
- Improved response times, service levels, user satisfaction measurement and Innovation
- High penetration of thin clients

PCs put computing in the hands of users and gave them great flexibility in how they worked and what they could do. It is certain that we would not have got to the interactive immersive environments we now take for granted if we had stuck to mini and mainframe computers. For a start the PC spurred the massive software industry we know today by creating a market for every kind of application.

Virtualization has changed this in a number of important ways: the physical PC need no longer be the key delivery mechanism and, hence, images can be hosted pretty much anywhere.
