Case Study: SAS achieves faster, standardized global training and lower costs with Citrix Cloud Virtual Apps and Desktops and Citrix ADC

SAS elevates training experience with rapid app deployment

SAS, a 40‑year leader in analytics, ran training from 90 locations and 140 classrooms but struggled with inconsistent, manual local IT processes that made software updates slow, costly and siloed—degrading the training experience and limiting flexibility.

Working with RoundTower, SAS adopted Citrix ADC and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops as a cloud service to standardize and automate deployments. The result: faster provisioning with fewer staff, a consistent user experience across 140 classrooms, lower hardware costs via thin clients, simpler management, and greater agility to move workloads to the cloud and rethink how training is delivered.
