"Parallels Secure Workspace is completely suitable for our purposes: offering our software packages as a service to local governments. Users simply log in via their browser and the IT administrators do not have to deal with complex local installations."
Cevi/Logins and Parallels Secure Workspace enter a partnership to bring new Cevi/Logins Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings to the market for Flemish local governments. Cevi/Logins will replace Citrix with Parallels Secure Workspace. In addition to its SaaS offering, Cevi/Logins will also use Parallels Secure Workspace internally. Cevi/Logins is an ISV specialized in building modern and reliable IT systems, especially for government institutions (provincial governments, municipalities, CPAS, police districts, emergency zones, intermunicipal companies, care companies, …) but also for other industries.
Cevi/Logins has a leading position in the automation of processes and services at Flemish local authorities. Christoph Verheecke, CCO Cevi/Logins, adds that “Cevi/Logins wants to be the trusted partner of the local authorities. We want to relieve our customers of their worries in these rapidly evolving times. With Parallels Secure Workspace, we give a solution to the increasing complexity. That is what our customers want: solutions.”
Parallels Secure Workspace, a ‘Gartner Cool Vendor in Unified Workspaces’ is building a software solution from its headquarters in Ghent. Parallels Secure Workspace offers both SMEs and large companies a secure workspace that is available in any browser. This means from anywhere and on any device. Parallels Secure Workspace aggregates Windows and Linux applications or desktops, intranet applications, and documents in an online workplace.
“Parallels Secure Workspace is a unique solution because it can offer classic software in the browser in HTML5 in a very easy, scalable, and secure way,” says Walter Van Uytven, Senior Vice President Technology Sales, Parallels Secure Workspace. “We have very diverse customers today: from hospitals and local governments to banks and car manufacturers. However, software houses such as Infodidac (Belgium), Fargo Systems (UK) and Peloton Software (Canada) also find their way to Parallels Secure Workspace in their ‘journey to SaaS.’ We are very happy that Cevi/Logins also uses Parallels Secure Workspace.”
Cevi/Logins has been active since 1971 and has since then experienced enormous growth and a very strong position with the Flemish local authorities. Since the early years, the various software packages have evolved enormously.
"Our customers expect an integrated service today. They want to get rid of the complexity of doing everything themselves, and of the growing need for IT security. Parallels Secure Workspace is completely suitable for our purposes: offering our software packages as a service to local governments. Users simply log in via their browser and the IT administrators do not have to deal with complex local installations."
Cevi/Logins previously used Citrix to offer its services remotely. “Citrix is not cheap and is complex for us, and for our users. We have been following Parallels Secure Workspace for a long time, and the time was ripe for us to make the switch. We are clearly opting for a simple and cost-efficient solution,” Jan Deprest adds.
