How Partners Can Leverage Liquidware Labs' Proven Methodology:

Liquidware Labs methodology of Assess, Design, Migrate & Validate can lower VAR costs and increase profits as follows:

ASSESSMENT:
Partners can save hundreds of man hours by not doing personal interviews and collecting subjective data as well as only partial data from select group of users. Also the VAR must do some guesswork to complete the assessment which can cause loss of profit and confidence to their client as the project moves forward.

Liquidware Lab's automated tool, Stratusphere FIT, not only assesses EVERY user but records their current performance as a baseline, and rates every user as GOOD, FAIR or POOR VDI candidate from hundreds of calculated metric comparisons and calculations done behind the scenes. Liquidware Labs also provides a deliverable readout to the partner for them to present to the client on the assessment with all the detail the client needs to understand his environment.

DESIGN:
Without Liquidware Labs Design module more guesswork and hundreds ofnon-billable man hours are used by most VARs to calculate server capacity, storage capacity as well as the "shared image" strategy for the VDI project. But, because of the extensive data collected with the assessment solution, the VAR can use that data to produce a "blueprint" for the partner to build the proper virtual infrastructure with confidence and in a very timely fashion - again saving the partner hundreds of non-billable man hours and more guesswork ultimately leading to more profitable projects and satisfied clients.

MIGRATION:
Another huge savings and benefit to VARs using the Liquidware Labs suite is our automated migration of the users' settings and data from the physical to the virtual desktop. Normally this process involves many man hours of tedious manual effort to touch each desktop, relying on significant human interaction that can result in errors, potential security breaches with people exposed to private data and loss of productivity as each worker is interrupted during migration. With Liquidware Labs ProfileUnity migration solution, all this can be defined, automated and done behind the scenes to eliminate risk, loss of productivity, and increase the partner's profitability dramatically.

VALIDATION:
The last step in the Liquidware Labs four-step methodology for transforming desktops from physical to virtual is validating the job was done correctly and that the user experience of the virtual desktop rivals that of their physical desktop. Both end users and partners see this as a huge advantage. Partners can now give objective data and comparisons to their clients to show they have successfully completed the POC so they can move on to the larger project and repeat the process for the next group of identified workers. End users equally see the value in this step because it allows them to lessen the "noise" that can bubble up with change, as concrete data verifies objectively that the migration was successful and supports positive user attitudes and acceptance toward the new IT change.
