Case Study: EBC Inc. reduces CAD costs and runs remote engineering apps with Parallels RAS

EBC Inc cuts Citrix costs by 3x with Parallels RAS

EBC Inc., a major Canadian construction company, faced the challenge of delivering high-performance remote access to resource-intensive CAD software across its distributed teams as its Citrix license approached expiration. They needed a cost-effective solution that could support a VDI migration, maintain performance for applications like AutoCAD and Revit, and integrate with their security requirements. They tested Parallels RAS as a potential replacement.

The solution implemented by Parallels RAS provided secure application and desktop publishing, successfully migrating EBC's environment and supporting the demanding CAD software. The result was maintained performance and significant cost savings, with EBC reporting that one year of Citrix costs equaled approximately three years of Parallels RAS. Parallels RAS enabled operational cost reduction and reliable access for hundreds of daily users.
