Customer Success Story: Endemol Shine Nederland

Endemol Shine Nederland uses contract video crews in locations

around the world to create their shows

Preparing for a project took two weeks as the team had to set up,

secure, and ship hardware to a production site

Endemol Shine Nederland decided to provide contract video crews

with Amazon WorkSpaces to run on their own devices

The switch saved Endemol Shine Nederland 70% in PC capex,

30% in PC operations, and reduced preparation time to two hours.

desktop they can run on their own devices while

onsite. By using Amazon WorkSpaces, we

have saved 70% on PC capital expenditure, and

30% on desktop operations, while reducing our

preparation time from two weeks to two hours.”

Customer Success Story: Louisiana Department of Corrections

Louisiana Department of Corrections provides inmates with

training to prepare them for reentry into society

The department wanted to launch a broader education program,

but lacked a secure desktop solution to deliver training content

The solution chosen uses ATLO Software’s learning application

running on locked down Amazon WorkSpaces on zero clients in

a secure lab

The department can offer more training options, in partnership

with local employers, resulting in better opportunities for

employment for offenders

“With ATLO’s Learning System delivered on

Amazon WorkSpaces, we can offer inmates

sophisticated and targeted training opportunities

in a secure environment to improve their chance

for success after they have served their time.”

Customer Success Story: Yamaha Motor Company

Yamaha Motor Company uses virtual desktops to provide

their users greater flexibility

When Yamaha introduced new applications, their existing

solution

With Amazon WorkSpaces, Yamaha was able to roll out

their new applications without buying any new hardware

“With Amazon WorkSpaces, we no longer

need to worry about the invevitable virtual

desktop infrastructure refresh cycle. We are

now working to retire our on-premises VDI

solution entirely.”
