Case Study: Positive Steps Oldham achieves faster, more secure desktops and lower TCO with 10ZiG

Positive Steps Oldham - Customer Case Study

Positive Steps, a UK not-for-profit delivering services to young people and adults, needed a full technology refresh to replace Citrix Presentation Server, Microsoft Office 2003 and ageing PCs. The organisation sought a lower total cost of ownership, improved desktop performance, fewer support calls and a solution that would integrate with a new phone system to enable true hot-desking.

They implemented Citrix‑certified 10ZiG 8848c Zero Clients alongside VDI‑in‑a‑Box and 10ZiG’s NoTouch repurposing software for newer PCs. The rollout delivered fast, out‑of‑the‑box deployment, centralised management with a free unlimited 10ZiG Manager license, better user performance, reduced power use and support overheads, phone-system hot‑desking integration, firmware-based USB blocking for improved security, and future‑proof capabilities such as flash redirection, multi‑monitor and HD audio support.
