About WorkSpace Discovery
The basis of smart business decision-making is knowledge.  The more you know the more informed choices you can make. WorkSpace Discovery™ provides you with in-depth information about the desktops and applications you currently have installed across your company. More importantly, WorkSpace Discovery can show you how these assets have been used, as well as identifying those applications that are not being used at all. Used with WorkSpace iQ™, WorkSpace Discovery can provide you with hard evidence to support decision-making on virtualization projects, license consolidation and longer-term modernization strategies.

About WorkSpace IQ
Once you have an overview of your IT assets, now start seeing how hard they are working for you. WorkSpace iQ provides the tools to monitor how applications are being used across the organization on a day-to-day basis, from whatever section of the IT infrastructure that is hosting them. Being able to report on how many users are accessing a system over time, what delivery methods are being used, and how this compares to the number of licenses that a company owns is valuable information. This ability to meter application access can be used to create financial reports for business decision-makers and internal billing and charge-back structures.  You can make investments work harder and transform rigid and fragmented technology platforms into dynamic business services.

About WorkSpace Universal
With enterprise application resources scattered across IT, sometimes it can be difficult for end-users to get the most out of the systems that are at their disposal.  Passwords, access control and the use of different application platforms can exacerbate these issues. WorkSpace Universal™ solves these problems by providing a browser-based portal that delivers all the applications that a user requires in one place. With WorkSpace Universal, end-users get a common look and feel access environment, or workspace, that exceeds expectations. IT has a single platform that aggregates diverse applications, creating a central launch pad for service delivery.
