As mobility becomes the standard for modern business, companies are adapting to the unique demands of a mobile work force. The bring-your-own-device (BYOD) movement has many productivity benefits, but it also creates major headaches for IT professionals—particularly in updating applications and ensuring data security.

Managed through Horizon DaaS by VMware, FPA’s DaaS solution simplifies the deployment and management of a secure, virtual desktop environment. Utilizing DaaS, we only focus on maintaining a single environment instead of multiple individual workstations. Employees and associates can access company data and applications through the virtual desktop, remotely and securely. This evolution in addressing the distribution of computing resources is leading organizations more and more to adopt cloud-based DaaS solutions.

Boulevard Management

"FPA has been exactly what we needed - a true extension of our IT department. They are all in - sleeves rolled up - to tackle each challenge and opportunity as it arises and we could not have gotten through our move or MPLS implementation without them."

The Search Agency

"FPA was right on top of our power outage and contacted me immediately to let me know they were monitoring the situation and would inform me of any further details they could obtain. Thankfully, the outage was short-lived... but it's great to know FPA is not only our behind-the-scenes partner, but right there with us when needed. Thank you."

Financial Designs

"FPA always comes through quickly resolving our IT issues - including an ongoing problem that several other consultants had been unable to fix at our largest operating company. They're certainly our go-to IT company of choice!"

Marketing Innovations International, Inc.

"Always reliable and fast, even after I leave for the day, I can always count on you guys to get requests done. Thank you!"

Entertainment Earth, Inc.

"I would like to give special recognition (or shout out) to Jason & Ron for all the planning, guidance, and hard work during the migration of our on-site email server to Office 365 cloud email. We had been using our in house SBS Exchange server for ten plus years (which was an outdated Exchange 2008 software), and I was very nervous about moving to the cloud, not to mention all the headaches it would create for our corporate office and eight remote offices during the migration. But to my surprise, migrating 40 plus email accounts and installing Office 365 on 28 computers was completed within several hours with minimal issues that were quickly resolved and my employees could resume their normal business day. Thank you Jason & Ron and all the FPA team members who helped us move efficiently to Office 365 and cloud email server."

The popularity of DaaS is growing primarily because of its ability to make IT providers faster and more efficient.

Instead of supporting and maintaining desktops on a 1:1 basis, you can update the base desktop image using a 1:many approach. This allows you to onboard new users faster and support existing desktops more efficiently, with application updates and fixes. DaaS is also an attractive security option because data and applications reside in the cloud rather than on end-user devices, which can be easy targets due to insufficient security tools or practices.

Finally, because every user’s environment is virtual, desktop images are automatically synced and always available. DaaS simplifies desktop management so that you can manage more with less.
