Case Study: Fondazione Telethon achieves 70% cost savings with Parallels RAS

Fondazione Telethon saved 70% switching from Citrix to Parallels RAS and enabled full RDSH desktop and legacy ERP app access over VPN

Fondazione Telethon, Italy’s leading biomedical charity, needed a better way to virtualize workstations and legacy ERP applications after Citrix and VPN limitations were driving up costs and complexity. The organization also required a full desktop experience from RDSH servers, with access that would work reliably across devices and support legacy apps.

Using Parallels RAS on-premises, Fondazione Telethon replaced Citrix with a simpler, easier-to-manage solution that delivered full desktop access, legacy ERP compatibility, and support for Windows, Mac, and HTML5 clients. Parallels RAS cut costs by 70%, reduced IT management time, and lowered support requests, helping the team improve efficiency and focus more resources on its core mission.
